May 2: Pacquiao Hatton Fight is just around the corner

Fight night is almost here. In May 2, we will know who reigns supreme in this battle of East vs West. As the stats from my poll on the right says, majority of fight fans are routing for Manny Pacquiao. Hey, any Hatton fans out there?

Manny in Deep Training Mode

One thing I really admire about Manny is his intensity. Currently, Manny is in deep training as if the fight with “The Hitman” is the biggest fight ever in his career. Freddie Roach said it isn’t unusual for Pacquiao to do 24 rounds of training before even taking his lunch because, “he likes to work.” Manny has slain a lot of marquee fighters and Hatton is another dragon waiting to be brought down. Will he be successful?

Hatton has no doubt that he’ll win

On the other side, Hatton is busy polishing his skills with his trainer, Floyd Mayweather Sr., the father of the only boxer who defeated him. Come fight now he promises a better “Hitman” with his newly acquired boxing skills courtesy of Mayweather. He’s so confident that he’ll win.

“There's no doubt in my mind who's going to win this fight,” said the IBO and Ring Magazine junior welterweight champ. "I've never been more certain and I've never been more confident. I've got an opponent who I feel I'm stronger than. As long as I get my tactics right and my timing right, I'll hold on to my belt and I hope to claim the pound-for-pound spot."

Fight of the Year?

“We're extremely pleased with the way fans have reacted to this event and I'm really not surprised that this fight is sold out," said De La Hoya, President of Golden Boy Promotions.

"You've got two of the best fighters in the world in Ricky Hatton and Manny Pacquiao, as well as two of the most exciting fighters, facing each other in their primes. This is going to be a fight to remember."

Fight Tickets Are Sold Out

Tickets for the fight are said to be sold out but I believe you can still get some if you look through the internet for ticket brokers. There’s quite a few sites I’ve seen that are still selling tickets for this fight. If you don’t have the budget, then a pay-per-view shouldn’t be that expensive. Just share the cost with some friends and it shouldn’t be that heavy on the wallet.
