Manny Pacquiao and Miguel Cotto hold event at AT&T Park (slideshow)

SAN FRANCISCO---Following the San Francisco Giants-Los Angeles Dodgers game on Sunday afternoon, boxers Miguel Cotto and Manny Pacquiao took part in a news conference atop the Giants dugout.

The event was free to the public and uniquely allowed fans to ask the fighters questions beside members of the media. Both fighters graciously interacted with the crowd and signed autographs for fans.

Despite the rain, fans filled two sections of AT&T Park to get a glimpse of the fighters promote their world welterweight championship fight. The turnout was of no surprise—especially after witnessing the record-breaking attendance when Pacquiao threw out the first pitch before the April 21st Giants-Padres game.

"It's going to be a good fight between Miguel Cotto and Manny Pacquiao," Pac-man told the crowd of three thousand. "everybody come to Las Vegas and watch the fight."

When both fighters were asked what their post-fight plans were, Cotto said he was focused on the fight and hasn't made plans for anything. Pacquiao, however, gave it some thought.

"To all the fans, I'd like you to know that, after the fight, I have a concert in Mandalay Bay," answered Pacquiao, who is also a recording artist in the Philippines.

Members of his entourage were amused by his announcement. They mentioned Pacquiao held a "concert" before with a live band and an eight-song setlist.

Watch the two fighters battle in "FIRE POWER: COTTO vs. PACQUIAO" on Saturday, November 14, at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. The bout will be broadcast live on HBO Pay-Per-View, beginning at 9 p.m. ET / 6 p.m. PT.
