I used to pay $50 bucks to watch PPV when Oscar de la Hoya would fight. I'd sit with my friends in the room and cheer our heads off and throw some beer cans when he'd lose (particularly to Floyd Mayweather). Years later, I'm back to something similar except that I'm in a huge room with other people yelling along. The side comments make for some interesting viewing, let me tell you. They are either funny, insightful, or moronic.
It would be great to watch the actual Pacquiao-Clottey fight in Dallas but since I'm not, watching via big screen is the next big thing. I've only seen one live Pacman fight and that was against Jorge Solis. I'm watching at the SMX at the Mall of Asia tomorrow. Should be fun more so since I'll be at the VIP screening hosted by SM and Solar Sports. Hope to get some interviews with the big wigs except for the Fat Pig my cousin referred to. And I'll be taking down notes since I'm writing the story for the Philippine Free Press that should be out a week after. Of course, I'll post in on Brew a day after.
In my grade and high school days, when fighters like Louie Espinosa and Rolando Navarette would be fighting, someone would bring a television set to school and class would be suspended just for the fight. I honestly don't know if it was like that for other sections but at least in our class we'd watch along with the teachers. Hahaha. You can imagine how difficult it was to hold classes after a big win or some stunning defeat.
Took down the This Sunday poll this morning:
Pacquiao in 5 rounds 44 votes
Pacquiao in 9 rounds 45 votes
Clottey by an upset 21 votes
Who cares 14 votes
Total of 124 votes!
