Batawang, accompanied by his manager Samson Gello-ani and matchmaker Sampson Lewkowicz who acted as interpreter, and Guadalajara's fair-haired boy Archi Solis, guested the Televisa morning show as each combatant promised their television audience individual victory come Saturday night. Televisa is Guadalajara's biggest TV station. In the afternoon, Solis and Batawang guested at the Guadalajara Radio Station Estadio W 1190 AM and went back to Televisa in the evening for Televisa's prime time show. Promoter Guillermo 'Brito' Rodriguez of Zanfer Promotions said he is expecting 5,000 people or more to watch the fight on Saturday at the Auditorio Benito Juarez. TV Azteca will cover the fight live and will beam it all over Mexico. Solis appeared highly confident, relaxed and highly talkative during the shows telling his interviewers that Batawang will be his second Filipino victim. Batawang appeared cool and unintimidated. A member of Team Solis later confided to PhilBoxing that Batawang's calmness concerned Solis.
