Beverly Hills, CA:- No travelling press con to hype an event such as “Fire-Power” will be worth its salt if it does not make a stop at Tinseltown, aka Los Angeles.
Today, fresh from the East (which went as far as Puerto Rico), the main protagonists for “Fire-Power” finally touched down in town -- at the Beverly Hills Hotel on the west side of the famed Sunset Boulevard.
Manny Pacquiao and Miguel Cotto met the LA Press corps to hype their fight on Novemebr 14th at the MGM in Las Vegas.
A whole plethora of sportwriters and many of the best sports photographers in town and a sprinkling of foreign press members filled a large ballroom at the Beverly Hills Hotel.
Needless to say, and true to the Bob Arum tradition, the press was served a wonderful late lunch.
The Pacquiao-Cotton tiff is promoted by Top Rank Promotions in cooperation with MGM Grand Hotel Casino Resort and Tecate, the beer “with character”. It will be shown live on HBO via PPV.
