Like De La Hoya Pacquiao 24/7, HBO gives you exclusive behind-the-scenes access, along with in-depth interviews, as Manny Pacquiao and Ricky Hatton prepare for the first mega-fight of 2009.

A hero in his native Philippines, the 30-year-old Pacquiao (48-3-2, 36 KOs) is regarded by most boxing observers as the sport’s unofficial pound-for-pound king. Demonstrating knockout power in five weight classes, his recent victory over his boxing idol, ring legend Oscar de la Hoya, was cause for national celebration in his homeland. Amid growing worldwide celebrity, he returns to the 140-pound division to take on the hard-hitting Hatton. (See Manny Pacquiao’s Greatest Hits)

Hailing from the streets of Manchester, England, Ricky Hatton (45-1, 32 KOs) has a tenacious fighting style and a devout following. The 30-year-old suffered his only professional loss in December 2007 when he battled future Hall of Famer Floyd Mayweather Jr. as a welterweight. Now back in the junior welterweight ranks, he wants to prove himself the most formidable fighter in the division.

HBO will be airing new episodes of Pacquiao Hatton 24/7 every week until the May 2, 2009 night.
