According to Michael Marley, a Pacquiao insider told him that Manny Pacquiao is not excited with a fight with Humberto Soto.

This Pacquiao insider also told Marley that Manny Pacquiao has told Arum he wants to fight Hatton by February or March at the latest, and that Manny sees a purse of perhaps $15 million in that bout which is about double what he can earn against Soto and Valero combined.

Is this the reason why as early as March, Freddie Roach wants a dream fight for Manny with Ricky Hatton at 140? Is this also the reason why Hatton is agreeing that Pacquiao is the #1 pound for pound in the world?

How will looming megafight compare with recent bouts:

Hatton vs Mayweather is at $47 million for 850,000 pay-per-view buys.

Oscar De La Hoya vs Floyd Mayweather Jr. is at $120 million from 2.4 million American pay-per-view buys. Overall, De La Hoya earned $52 million, $25 million for Mayweather.

    Pacquiao's favorite quotes,(in my opinion): "I'm fighting for Freedom...against an Englishman"
    "Talk softly and carry a big stick"
    "David vs Goliath" "East vs West"
    "Head Hunter vs Body Puncher"
    "Ang laban na ito ay para sa iyo, bayan ko (this fight is for you, my country)"
    "Mabuhay ang Pilipinas!"

    The Nevada Athletic Commission did an outstanding selection of one referee and three independent judges. Very wise selection of official for the Pacquiao v Hatton. Good to know that Jerry Roth was not selected as a judge,otherwise it will be draw on his scorecard! Congratulations to the Nevada Athletic Commission for leaving out Jerry Roth. //fernando//

    all I can say Hatton's underestimate pacman's power and even he got pacman weakness he doesn't last on pacman's 3 combo punches... and floyd mayweather sr.was a nothing but a foolish coach how noob to tell to the public that it was hatton's fault but in the 1st place he has the one who has the fault because he underestimate pacman and I can't helped it because he's not just underestimating pacman and roch he is also underestimating filipino people. "If you visit this site (Floyd noob useless dumb Mayshitweather)you are an asshole to underestimate filipino people like manny...

    pacquiao look great against sluggish fighters..
    but if he face boxers like marquez or mayweather..which is a good counter punchers
    it would be a totally different scenario.. it would be a tough fight for him.. they won't allow the "king pacman"the angles he want in order to score a brutal left-right-left assualt.

    john patrick paredes ( May 7, 2009 at 10:56 AM )

    i want to see a paquiao-marquez 3.. the previous fights were both a close one.. im not satisfied with the way manny win against marquez.. thats why i want a third fight between of the two.. i hope "king pacman"knocks him out(marquez)this time around.. go pacman go.. and also i want him to be the first man to beat the arrogant floyd"afraid-to get-hurt"gayweather.. so he retire for good..
