PACQUIAO-DE LA HOYA FIGHT


Hot Sunday morning and I received an early morning call from the US. My friends were looking for me in Las Vegas. How come I didn't watch the Pacquiao fight today like I always do, I have never missed one? Would have been a good excuse for me to go back to the States.
Suffice it to say that I watch the Pinoy Prides (at work) all the time like the concert of Arnel Pineda with Journey just to give support to Pinoys but this fight is beyond my intellect. This is plain and simple scam (too harsh a word, I guess, well). A shot at more money for 2 equally popular sportsmen.
While I enjoy watching sports, it is clearly exploiting people's minds and pockets and I do not want to be a part of it. I am watching it now in my friend's wide screen because I love to be with my friends but most of us are outside the Lanai enjoying the BBQ and the worthwhile chat-of course politics again. What a boring Sunday :-)
Bottom line here is these two millionaires wanted more money-greed for money is a deadly sin and we will watch how this will unfold. Would it make their careers better? Would they enjoy more millions? Do they give a part of their earnings to charity?

Well, worth one day to waste with good old friends. Enjoy this no-brainer!
