Pacquiao-Hatton Updates: Wild Card Gym OFF-LIMITS

The Wild Card Gym is now off-limits to those with no business being around as Manny Pacquiao trains.

This was emphasize by the newest member of the Team Pacquiao and trainer Michael Moorer; “If you don’t belong here, it’s time to go”.

This new rule is now strictly being imposed, with the approval of the boxer (Manny) himself, as the fight with Ricky Hatton moved just three weeks away. Manny Pacquiao is in the final phase of his training, the final push. Sparring sessions get longer and tougher, and nothing comes easy each day.

The goal of this "Off-Limits" was to insure Manny of no distraction while in a rigid training inside the Wild Card Gym. Still Pacquiao loves to train when there are fans around him, and he loves to put on a show. Roach must have felt that the practice had to stop.

“There will be no more fan interaction with Manny Pacquiao until the fight is over on May 2. Under the new rule, no one outside of official Team Pacquiao members is allowed in the gym before, during and after the training.

Except on Wednesday, of course, when Pacquiao holds a media workout in the Hollywood sweatshop. The doors are closed when Hatton trains at the IBA gym in Las Vegas.

RICKY HATTON PLANS ALL-OUT ATTACK

Ricky Hatton plans to blow away Manny Pacquiao, the world's best pound-for-pound fighter, with an all-out attack when the pair meet in Las Vegas on May 2.

Hatton is ready to unleash an early onslaught which he believes Pacquiao will be unable to cope with. "Attack, attack and attack again. If you beat the pound-for-pound number one that is a statement," was the Mancunian's response when asked about his game plan.

"We are both very aggressive and both like to go forward but ultimately my size and power will be a factor.

"But it is not just a power thing, I'm working on my speed. I think they see me as a slow fighter and they will get a shock on the night just how fast I can be.

"I'll be keeping the same ferocity I have always had and when he feels my strength I don't think Manny will stand about.

"I think he will think he can out-box me like he did against Oscar De La Hoya (last year).

Hatton is delighted with the way his training has gone under Floyd Mayweather Sr and believes he is in much better shape than he was when he beat Paulie Malignaggi in November.

"We are only halfway through the training camp, there are six weeks to go and I think a lot of fighters would be happy with my speed, sharpness and timing come fight night," added the 30-year-old Hatton.

"I'm happy with the stage I am at but I just know my boxing ability, combination punches, jabbing and head movement is going to get so much better.

"I have a nice balance now and the fight can't come quick enough."
