On the dawn of Derek Jeter tying the Iron Horse Lou Gehrig's 2,271 hits record, two of boxing's biggest names graced Yankees stadium today to bring in their own brand of hits.
Manny Pacquiao and Miguel Cotto kicked off their promotional press tour at the Yankees stadium in from of throngs of Filipino and Puerto Rican fans who came out to see their idols.
Both fighters were sporting Yankees jerseys as they smiled and took pictures with the press and fans alike.
One striking revelation from today's press conference was the size of both fighters. Much has been said about the weight and size disparity between Pacquiao and Cotto but it almost appeared as if they looked identical in stature.
I don't know if it's the preliminary training Cotto has been doing and/or and the absence of such for Pacquiao that made them appear to be closer in size to each other today but rest assured, Cotto isn't all that much bigger compared to Pacquiao.
Check out more of the pictures from the press conference in a slideshow I attached below.
