Top Rank boss Arum confident of Pacquiao victory

MANILA, Philippines – Top Rank Promotions chairman Bob Arum arrived in the country Friday and readily proclaimed a Manny Pacquiao victory over Ricky Hatton on May 2 in Las Vegas, Nevada. The veteran boxing promoter said Pacquiao’s speed will be too much for the Englishman to handle. Besides, Hatton has had trouble dealing with southpaw fighters. “Pacquiao figures to win and Pacquiao figures to win big," said Arum, who is in the country for the dual championship fight involving Filipinos Nonito Donaire and Brian Viloria. “Manny and Freddie have all this figured out." Of course, Arum said he’s not discounting a possible Hatton upset since as what he said, “anything can happen in boxing." The Top Rank big boss came over along with ring announcer Jimmy Lennon Jr and long-time TV boxing analyst Al Bernstein. – GMANews.TV
