BLEACHERS BREW EST. MAY 2006

Someone asked me how my blog and newspaper column came to be titled "Bleachers Brew". It's like this, it's an amalgam of sorts of two things: The bleachers area in the stadium/arena where I used to sit when I would watch baseball, football, and basketball games and Miles Davis' great jazz album Bitches Brew. That's how it got culled together. I originally planned on calling it "The View from the Big Chair" that is a nod to Tears For Fear's second album, Songs from the Big Chair. So there.

That Bad Boy from Dadiangas (Oh, it's called General Santos City now, eh?)

If you all saw that stunt that Manny Pacquiao pulled on TV tonight then know that this is Solar Sports' response:

The public is hereby advised that under a License Agreement dated 7 May 2007, Emmanuel "Manny" Pacquiao and MP Promotions, for valuable consideration granted to Solar Entertainment Corporation the exclusive rights to the audio-visual presentation of all bouts of Manny Pacquiao from 7 May 2007 to 6 May 2011.

Manny Pacquiao's attempt to rescind the License Agreement without any factual or legal basis is ill advised.

All third parties are hereby warned against any tortuous interference with the License Agreement.

Solar shall avail of its legal remedies to the fullest extent against any undue breach of and/or tortuous interference with the License Agreement.

In case you do not know, he did this before to a previous manager, to Viva, he did this to Oscar De La Hoya when he signed with Golden Boy Productions then suddenly deciding to go with Top Rank Promotions. He also cut from Solar before. He likes to think that he is above the law and he can do anything. Now I understand what the Gen San people say about him.

It's not about Solar but ethics. Sadly you wonder if he has any or if he worships money and power more.
