MANILA, Philippines – The much-awaited blockbuster fight between Manny Pacquiao and Ricky Hatton gets a glitzy Hollywood treatment as the promo for the “Battle of East and West" bout heats up in LA Monday night (Tuesday morning in Manila).
Like movie stars pitching for a big budget summer flick, Pacquiao and Hatton are set to alight limousine, then walk the red carpet and speak to their fans at the Roosevelt Hotel on Hollywood Blvd., according to The RING Magazine’s website.
Search lights will add drama to the affair, which will culminate in a news conference at the historic Spanish-style hotel named after the late US President Theodore Roosevelt.
The LA presser is expected to serve as yet another venue for the protagonists’ outspoken trainers, Freddie Roach and Floyd Mayweather, Sr. to trade verbal jabs anew, as they did last month during their promotional tour in Hatton’s hometown Manchester and London.
Pacquiao has been based in the City of Angels for the last month, training intensively at the WildCard gym in Hollywood. Hatton flew in from London over the weekend and plans to wrap up his training in Las Vegas, site of his May 2 fight with Pacquiao, the reigning pound for pound king. –GMANews.TV
