LAS VEGAS -- WBO Welterweight champion Manny Pacquiao and his challenger Tim Bradley of Palm Springs, CA met the Press Corps for the final time prior to their big fight on Saturday at the MGM Grand Garden Arena.
The Presscon started with a very nice lunch courtesy of Top Rank and their co-sponsors at 11:30 followed by the program at 12:30PM.
Nothing new has been said save for a couple of statements that really brought down the house.
Tim Bradley declared that he he's ready as ever because ?he went through hell in training camp.?
Pacquiao not to be outdone declared that he too is ready because his training camp was ?heaven?.
Bob Arum who served as emcee almost got all the names on the podium correctly. He only had two errors. First for the first time he was able to pronounce the name of ?Gov. Chavit Singson?, a Pacquiao close friend and adviser. But he identified the new Wildcard Gym addition Marvin Somodio as ?Marvin Sonsona? and then he also blew the name of Cameron Dunkin calling him Cameron Garcia.
But other than that, the event turned out as well as expected.
Paco Varcarcel, the WBO President had a surprise for Pacquiao. He presented him with a diamond ring with the WBO logo which Pacquiao proudly displayed to the photographers.
