sat here with a fillipino friend at work........

[rhino222]

i am actually concerned that, of all the actual uk boxing fans we have, some will actually want the pacman to win, as im convinced hatton is actually not that popular outside manchester.

i dont think its hattons fault, personally i blame his period with warren, the alleged antics over tickets during other marquee stateside fights, and his football club type following. i may be wrong, but lets see....

[Fatsam]

I like to think that i dont let patriotism effect my judgement, but.........it does!!

Cmon ricky

[banjo]

I don't let nationality cloud my judgement, we are all human beings, I will support whichever boxer I like and I'm a fan of Pacquiao so therefore would like him to win.

[jBacca]

I too am a big fan of Manny, have been for years (arlfella's missus is Filipino)... C'mon Pacman!

[black panther]

A bit because of nationality and a bit because you gotta love an underdog, I went for Hatton. But funnily enough I was routing for Mayweather when they fought but then again I did empty the bank on Mayweather!

[Fatsam]

Honestly though, i couldn't see a good argument for hatton beating pbf, but i think he has a real good chance against pacman. Ever since pac beat oscar de la punch bag, people think he is unbeatable.

[DG.]

I want Pacman to kick dat ass!

But he won't!

Hatton by KO.

Do not be so disresptful to call Oscar 'Oscar de la punch bag'..

Get it right....

It's Oscar 'Chicken Tikka De La Anna Kournikova' Hoya!

just because some dick head footy types follow him doesn't make me think any less of him, that would be stupid.

But in ramming "the product" down our throats so damn forcefully, Hatton for me hasdepersonalised himself, to the point now where I've had enough.

As far as I'm concerned it's Pac, who I haven't seen much of, for me brings something new and interesting to the fight. All I know is he's a quality fighter with an almost mythological hard man quality about him, versus, product Hatton, which I've seen a million times.

So for me I don't really give a shit who wins but I've voted for Pac cos if Hatton wins I'm going to have it rammed down my throat, as are we all, for like EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! No ta.

[youngrell]

I just hope the best man wins, I really like both fighters, and just through being a Brit I have no doubt I will be supporting Ricky come fight night, but won't be upset if Pacman wins!!

Just want fight of the year, because the styles should gel so well, I can't wait.

By the way fellas, I'm going to be in NYC on fight night, anyone know of a good spot to watch the fight live in the Big Apple? Any help would be much appreciated

Cheers

[sweetscience]

im not a hatton fan, dont like his style and i think he is a bit false, when he fought PBF b4 the first bell went i wanted PBF to win

but.... as soon as the bell went i was routing for ricky, and im sure it will be the same this time

[n1ebf]

ditto, same with Naz vs. Kelley. I was rootng for the Yank before he put our boy down twice. I mean, the indignance of it!

[Coco]

Cmon Ricky, I don't hate winners, or begrudge the money and exposure you have earned

[stujones]

I like them both, aslong as its a good fight I am happy. I would kind of sway towards wanting Ricky to win cause I feel he needs that "elite in his peak" scalp that so far he does lack.

But never have really considered Nationality a big deal in any individual sport... team sports are different. Infact, being considered "anti" British by my mates... its just the Brits we talk about, I don't rate - not I don't like (e.g. Jenson Button now)... I aint going to support Jenson cause he is British only.

[alexpaterson]

I think Pacquiao will outspeed Hatton he is not elosive enough to slip Pacs jab and win by a wide UD decison

[bugs]

Cant get out to Vegas so Im going to Manila with some mates to watch the fight. Ill be cheering for Hatton.

[Asterix]

. i bet there aren't as manny filipino's routing for ricky as there are english routing for pacman

I think you'd be surprised. From what I've heard and read, Manny is a very big star in Phillippines. Bigger than Ricky is here. And their population is bigger than ours.

Exactly, so why would they cheer for Hatton?

I read the post incorrectly. To be fair, though, his misspelling of 'many' is what threw me.

Jog on fuckwit - btw your "offer" gets more tempting by the day you fornicating prick Hagler, I have a mind to come thru there and put you out your misery you fckin pisshead. I probably do more training by the time you even wake up slavering on your crack pipe internet tough man. Go and fornicate yourself rent boy

[DG.]

Because someone earns lots of money and gets lots of exposure is not always the reason people may not lke someone!

Bill Gates has a lot of money and expsure and he is cool by me..

I have no problem with Hatton and his money, good luck to him!



Its a tought sport, but does not mean I have to buy into the crap he sometimes spouts.
