The pride of the Philippines Manny “Pacman” Paquiao reportedly signed a contract with Hatton, and Ricky Hatton’s camp is now 99% certain that the Pacquiao Hatton fight will go ahead by May of 2009. This will probably be a good fight, since both fighters are known good fighters in the field of boxing.

After the said contract signing of the Filipino boxer, Hatton’s lawyer Gareth Williams is expecting a copy of the contract to be on his hands in Britain early a week after the signing. William said that the contract is already on its way to him and he is confident that it will be all right and everything will be fine.

Reports say that team Pacquiao wanted to renegotiate some financial terms and been the reason of the slow development of the contract. There was some feeling of doubt about the fight when the Filipino boxer was in silent and had not been responding to Hatton’s deadline for the signing. However, the 30 year old champ and currently reigns as the world’s best pound for pound fighter is now reportedly signed the contract and agreed the equal split with Ricky Hatton.

Richard Schaefer the Golden Boy Promotions chief executive who is negotiating on the Mancunian’s behalf is the ones who received the signed contract from team Pacquiao in the Philippines. Because of it, Hatton’s lawyer Gareth Williams said that Richard Schaefer surely got the contract already and he is already 9% sure that the fight will going to happen.

Regarding to the financial issues, Hatton’s team told the press that they never wavered from a 50-50 split, and considered the issues about them having different offers going out as nonsense. The team further added that they are only talking, reached with only one agreement, and didn’t offer for anything else.

Gareth Williams further said on Thursday January 22, 2009 that as for the time being, the Pacqiao-Hatton fight was dead in the water. However, the appearance of the signed contracts has forced them to reconsider. On the other hand, on Friday January 23, 2009, Pacquiao’s promoter the Top Rank had declared that the match was back on.

When the team Pacquiao did not yet sign the contract, the Golden Boy promotions already had started negotiations to some possible alternative opponents for Ricky Hatton and that include Oscar de la Hoya and Floyd Mayweather Jr.

However, sports enthusiast especially to boxing fans and the fans of Manny Pacquiao and Ricky Hatton will have to worry no more and must ne excited already because the fight is already back on and is 99 percent possibly to happen this coming May of 2009. Surely, it will going to be another remarkable fight for both fighters for they both are reputable and known fighters worldwide. They maybe of different age and have different level of expertise, it will surely be a good fight. This fight will surely be another fight for Manny Pacquiao to prove that he deserves the title of being the pound for pound fighter in the world and for Ricky Hatton to prove that he has the ability to beat the Pacman.

See How Easily You Can Skateboard Like a Pro

Even if you don’t become the next Tony Hawk, a multi-millionaire with video games featuring you as the main character, you can learn how to skateboard like a pro. It is not impossible as long as you have a clear understanding of what you are getting into, and how long it could take. You can’t be impatient if you want to be at the top level of any activity, whether sports, career or hobby.

If you happen to love skateboarding, and really are committed to doing whatever it takes to skateboard like a pro, or possibly even become one, then read the following steps. There is no magic to it, and there really are no secrets either. And to clear up any possible understanding about the headline, you can easily see how to skateboard like a pro, as the title says. There are plenty of books and websites to show you, and it’s easy to collect as many printed or “virtual” lessons as you need to get going with your practice. However, it will not be easy to succeed at it, because anything good (and hard to do) takes time.

Now, it would take many thousands of pages of writing and diagrams to teach you the 180 ollie, a shifty ollie, a frontside 360 and all the other moves. You can get all of that information at your own speed, and when you’re ready. For now, we’re talking about the basic action steps and attitudes that will get you a solid start. And this much is true, also, that the more disciplined, motivated and passionate you are, the easier it will seem. Even when you’re doing hard work, you don’t mind as much when you are sold out on the goal you’re working toward.

Action steps to pro skateboarding

Practice – Sure, it should go without saying, but in this day and age people seem to think that reading “a” book or watching “one” skater video is all it takes. The fact is that it takes practice, practice, and more practice. And after all that practice, you have to do one more thing – practice some more. You should skate to work, skate to school and back, hit the skateboard parks as much as possible and take your board with your at all times. You should be prepared to get in some skate time anywhere that skateboarding is allowed.

Safety – Pros are smart enough to protect their heads and limbs. You must always wear a helmet and pads (knees, elbows, perhaps gloves, too). Since you are on a mission, you will be excited at what you’re doing and may forget that the major part of learning is making mistakes. Remember, making mistakes when learning pro skateboarding techniques means falling down. Since you’re going to experiment and try all kinds of new things, your need to protect yourself.

Watch videos, and make them, too – There are tons of YouTube clips and skateboarding videos to watch and study. Every one of the top pro skateboarders has videos, lots of them. While you’re learning all the moves, have a friend videotape what you’re doing so you can study yourself. Keep making videos as your skills keep getting better. Eventually, you may need to hire a real camera pro and editor so you can start posting your own clips online.

Attitude steps count, too

Have fun – You skateboard because you love it, right? If you are motivated by anything other than serious love of the board, you won’t make it to the top. And if that serious love of the board doesn’t have a big component of fun in it, you won’t make it even halfway. You won’t become a top skateboarder because you want a glamour life traveling around the world on your sponsor’s credit card. The joy in what you do, whatever it is, is infectious, and if you start moving up the ranks, it can make you really attractive to those sponsors.

First things first – Again, it seems like a no-brainer, but if you don’t have your priorities in order, you won’t make it. Practice, board knowledge, proper safety, correct exercise routines, healthy diet, clean living – all of this is part of the pro skater package. Keep things in order, and don’t forget that the only discipline that works is self-discipline. No one can do this for you, or give you what you have to practice for. The only way is hard work.

Stay balanced – Despite the fact that it is a hard road full of hard work and long hours and road rash and ankle sprains, you still have to keep balanced. Having fun, loving what you do, working hard, staying on track – all of these seemingly different things really can work together and get you where you want to go. It’s not easy to accomplish your dream, but it is easy enough to find out what to do. The difference with winners, as opposed to quitters, is that the winners take the difficulties as challenges to overcome, not obstacles to bounce off of.

Is it really you?

If you are really cut out to be a pro skater, you will be able to tackle all these steps and still be cool, still be yourself. Being centered and balanced, with family and friends behind you, is a powerful combination for success. These are the things that will help you in the long run and keep you going when times get hard, you become exhausted or you encounter new troubles along the way.

If you do start getting good, and standing out from the crowd skating around you, acting like you’re “all that” and being rude will only make you enemies. No matter how great your skateboarding skills become, there are always others who are just as good or better, so keep your ego in check. This is often difficult for young people who are also facing a lot of life changes during their teens and early 20s.

The bottom line is that you can learn to do anything you set your mind to, but you first have to find out if it’s “in your blood.” It needs to be more important than any other goal or activity if you want to work your way to the top of the pro ranks, and that’s true in business, entertainment and sports. For skateboarders working their way up, there will be dozens of moves to master, terms to know and techniques of their own to develop. With hard work and persistence, you really can do it.
