huh? You're hoping Hatton loses because of the fans? Uh, ok.
Would you prefer his supporters to turn up in suits and pocketwatches, shout bravo and well done old boy in a faux posh accent?
These are the same people that may support liverpool by the way. Maybe they should just get fat, turn up with white tube socks, shorts, caps, oakley's and trainers shouting you the man.
Hatton ftw.

I'm well aware of who supports liverpool, and thank fuck when you get a crowd of them together it doesn't look/behave like traveling Hatton fans. My Uruguayan friend is a big boxing fan and got called a Paki by a gang of fucking retards at the Malignaggi fight.
It isn't just that, I dislike Hatton, I dislike his boxing style, and I know this will mean more to the Philippines than it would to England. They are absolutely boxing crazy, and with all their flyweight etc success, it'd be nice to see have a consistent winner on the biggest stage. It would mean so much more to them. They replay their championship winning fights on loops on late night tv time after time after time. You could have a Pacman president, honestly. Plus regardless of form and expectation, I think Pacquiao is an underdog in this weight class.

I'm from the Philippines but we'd still trade a Pacman victory/victories for Liverpool to win #19. every time. 🙂

I think you are definitely in the minority. The correct minority. Actually, I haven't yet met many Philipinos who are into football, most prefer boxing and basketball. Are the people at my work just awful human beings?
