Manny Pacquiao is one of the sport’s biggest stars and, when he fights, generally everybody bets on him. Pacquiao has continued to climb in weight class but that hasn’t affected his speed or power. He has held belts in an unprecedented five different divisions and a win over Hatton would put him in a class of his own. Pacquiao has destroyed everything in his path, including virtually all of Mexican boxing.
Pacquiao, the reigning World Boxing Council lightweight champion, will be gunning for a fifth weight crown against Hatton, who holds the International Boxing Organization junior welterweight belt. Pacquiao would move back down one weight class to face Hatton, the hard-living English star who won his last bout against Paulie Malignaggi on Nov. 22, 2008 defending his 140-pound (63.5-kilogram) title. Hatton won twice this year after the only loss of his career, to Floyd Mayweather Jr. in December 2007.
Hatton pushed for the Las Vegas location over Madison Square Garden because it is cheaper for his U.K. fans to fly to Las Vegas than to New York. Bet Hatton boxing odds, in what is slated to be a raw and furious fight with plenty of emotion and tactical skill. The Battle of East and West will kick off at the MGM Grand.
If Manny manages to win this fight, it sets up the fight of the century with Floyd Mayweather this fall. Floyd hasn’t been seen partying in Las Vegas for months, so maybe he’s getting his mind right for a potential return to the ring.

Ricky Hatton vs Manny Pacquiao Results
With one thunderous left hand, Manny Pacquiao smashed his way into boxing immortality.
Anyone doubt his pound-for-pound No. 1 perch now?
Shoot, anyone doubt his place as one of boxing's best ever?
The Filipino icon destroyed Ricky Hatton in two crushing rounds to make boxing history before 16,262 at the sold-out and electric MGM Grand Garden Arena on Saturday.
It's something those of us who saw it shouldn't soon forget because it may be a long time until we see something like this again.
Pacquiao, a relentless southpaw with such an obvious advantage in speed, decked Hatton twice with flush right hands in the opening round. First, Pacquiao tagged him with a counter right that knocked him down. Hatton was never the same after that punch.
"He was wide open for the right hook," Pacquiao said. "I knew he would be looking for my left. That's why we worked on the right."
A straight left knocked Hatton to his knees in a corner moments later. By the time the round was over, it sure didn't look like the 30-year-old Hatton was going to last much longer.
Just as the 10-second warning for the end of the second round sounded, Pacquiao unleashed the left hand from the heavens. It caught a confused Hatton dead on the chin and he collapsed flat on his back, literally in the center of the ring. He was gone as referee Kenny Bayless stopped it at 2:59.
