does anyone know if the press conference tour is open to the public,because im thinkin about taking the day off work on friday to go to the 1 at manchester town hall&i want to know if the public can go?can anyone clue me in?
Im hoping so as i'll be going myself. I only live half hour away from Manchester town hall. Anybody got any idea what time its all starting though as i can't find it anywhere?
Just been on Hatton's website & it states that it's press people only for the press conferences. Even states that a press pass, proof of ID will be required. I was going to the London press conference, but after seeing the above, won't bother now. Shame really, but if you were to go & unable to get in, then that would just be such a disappointment. I'm not going to chance it. Seems us fans always miss out, & that the average journalist, who knows **** about boxing, is always favoured above us as they're allowed entry. I know there has to be press coverage & rightly so, but half of them have never even been to a boxing gym, let alone had anything to do with the sport. Only the boxing journalists, not the sports journalists, truly know about boxing.
The whole point of the Manchester conference was supposedly to give Floyd a glimpse of the kind of atmosphere he will be facing come December, it seems the plan has failed drastically.
I think the London Press Conference is for media only but after the Manchester Press Conference there is a Fans Rally for those who want to go: UNDEFEATED . . . who will be crowned king of the ring on December 8 FLOYD MAYWEATHER AND RICKY HATTON ANNOUNCE DECEMBER 8 WELTERWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP AT THE TOWN HALL IN This content is protected , ENGLAND FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 21, 10:30AM WHO: Pretty Boy FLOYD MAYWEATHER Undefeated, Five Division World Champion RICKY The Hitman HATTON Undefeated Two Division World Champion OSCAR DE LA HOYA, President, Golden Boy Promotions WHAT: Press Conference to officially announce Mayweather vs. Hatton Special Note: Please bring your media identification for on-site registration. **Working Media Only Will Be Credentialed WHEN: Friday, September 21 10:00 am Media Reception and Check-in 10:30 am Press Conference Media Only *Interviews available inside after press conference This content is protected WHERE: The Town Hall Great Hall Manchester, M60 2LA WHY: Monday, September 17th kicked off the five city world media tourincluding stops in Grand Rapids, Michigan, New York City, London and Manchester, England to announce the highly anticipated mega fight UNDEFEATED between Floyd Mayweather and Ricky Hatton scheduled for Saturday, December 8 at MGM Grand in Las Vegas, Nevada and will be produced and distributed live on HBO Pay-Per-View at 9 p.m. ET/6 p.m. PT.
