Batista is reportedly heading to Las Vegas for Saturday night’s huge fight between Manny Pacquiao and British star Ricky Hatton at the MGM Garden Arena.

Claire Murphy, WWE’s Senior Director for International Communications, told Ed de la Vega at PhilBoxing.com that Batista, who is part-Filipino, was flying to Las Vegas in time to walk Pacquaio, who was born in the Phillipines, to the ring carrying one of his title belts.

I can’t wait for this fight and as I type this, news is breaking this morning that a Hatton- Floyd Mayweather Jr rematch could be on the cards with Mayweather Jr reportedly coming out of retirement to fight Juan Manuel Marquez on July 18.
