Pacquiao-Cotto Press Tour To Start With a Huge Bang

The press tour to promote the mega-fight between Manny Pacquiao and Miguel Cotto, scheduled for November 14, is going to start with a huge bang. The fight takes place on HBO pay-per-view from the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.

BoxingScene.com was advised that members of Top Rank's team were at New York's Yankee Stadium on Friday in preparation for the launch of the Pacquiao-Cotto press tour, scheduled for September 10. The huge event will take place on the actual field of the stadium and the players have been invited to attend. Several members of Yankees, like Derek Jeter, are big fans of Pacquiao.

The tour will then shift to Cotto's hometown of Caguas, Puerto Rico, where Cotto's promotional company will handle the media event on September 12. Then both teams will head to AT&T Park in San Francisco, California on September 13 for a big media event as the Giants play the Los Angeles Dodgers. There will be some baseball fun with both fighters taking some swings in the batting cages. Filipino pitcher Tim Lincecum, of the Giants, is slated to throw a few pitches to the fighters. The press tour concludes on September 14 at 4PM at the Beverly Hills Hotel in California.
