While the stakes are high for Filipino boxing icon Manny Pacquiao
and Ricky Hatton of the United Kingdom when they square off on May 2
in Las Vegas, there is also a battle looming between the trainers of
the two fighters who seem to have taken over the trash talking for
the bout.
Based on an article posted at eastsideboxing.com,
there is even a specially designed four-tier trophy, measuring over
five feet in height, bearing the inscription “No. 1
pound-for-pound Best Trainer in the World,” which will be
presented to either Pacquiao’s trainer, Freddie Roach or Floyd
Mayweather Sr., Hatton’s trainer. Mayweather Sr. is the enstranged
father of Floyd Mayweather Jr., the only man to beat Hatton.
