Earlier reports indicate that Pacquiao’s promoter Bob Arum of Top Rank Inc. has already met with Golden Boy Promotions CEO Richard Schaeffer, Hatton’s promoter, to discuss minor details of the 2009 fight.
The Pacquiao-Hatton fight is being planned on May 2 with Las Vegas as one of the venues being considered.
If Pacquiao takes on Hatton, the catch weight will be at junior welterweight (140 lbs), Hatton's domain. Pacquiao fought at 132 lbs last April, 135 in June and 147 earlier this month when he blasted Oscar de la Hoya.
Pacquiao is currently the world lightweight (135lb) champion, while Hatton is the reigning 140lb world champion.
Get your tickets right away because the Oscar De Layo was sold out 2 hours after it was made available to the public. This will be a Golden Boy and Top Rank promotions.
I found this video of Ricky Hatton's last fight on November 22, 2009.
Hatton will face Pacquaio on May 2, 2009.
