MANILA, Philippines - The first media conference that will kick off the Manny Pacquiao-Ricky Hatton bout will be in the third week of February in the United Kingdom, Pacquiao said in his online column.
Pacquiao added that the UK gig will take three days, according to his advisers.
After that, the two boxers are expected to return to the US and make stops in New York and Los Angeles to promote the match scheduled on May 2 at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.
"I think the plans are to include other cities in the US," Pacquiao wrote on Thursday on his column that appears on Philboxing.com. "Overall I'm excited."
Meanwhile, Southwestern University in Cebu will bestow Pacquiao an Honorary Doctorate Degree on February 18. SWU is the only university in the country that bestows the title of Doctor of Human Kinetics, Honoris Causa to qualified individuals.
"Not even in my wildest dream did I think of achieving this," Pacquiao said. "I'm very thankful for this honor."
Pacquiao will begin training with Freddie Roach at the Wild Card Gym in the first week of March. - GMANews.TV
