Pacquiao vs. Marques: A Prediction
Dubbed as “The Unfinished Businessâ€, the Pacqiao – Marquez bout will continue on March 16th. Once again, all Filipinos around the world will reunite for this big event. I don’t know what power Manny Pacquiao has that everytime he goes to the ring, we forget our problems until the fight ends.
But there’s a gut feel in me that Manny Pacquiao will lose this time, unless he knocks out Marquez. Somehow, I sense that there’s an “over-confident†side on Manny that may cause him to be careless. In this fight, Maquez is the underdog.
GMA 7 is once again very proud to announce that they will air the fight. But I know and I am sure that they are not after the “free fight for kapuso†but after the ROI they will get from advertisers. Once again, I am sure that commercials in between rounds will be longer than the round itself, just like the Pacquiao – Morales and Pacquiao – Barrera. F them. They should effin stop it. It doesn’t effin work. They don’t have to air it LIVE, They just have to minimize effin commercials. Air commercials after every two rounds will be just fair for the viewers. As long as it doesn’t use twice the time.
On the other side, I am certain that many politicians have booked their flights already for this event. Have they scheduled a seminar in Vegas on this date? Or there may be an Economic Conference they will attend and coincidentally, it’s Manny’s fight. Disclaimer: This is just an opinion with no basis.
Then after the fight, the next faces you’ll see on your TV screens are the faces of the Arroyos, Lito Atienze, Chavit Singson and some other politicians pretending they are Congratulating Manny but in fact, they just want to be seen by the people. It’s like “Hey, I’m close to Manny, close din tayo ha?†They are parasites using Manny for some attention. They must stop. And to the media, please stop interviewing them after the fight. They just make a suppose-to-be-the-best-show suck.
And oh, I almost forget. Just in case you’ll be looking for other politicians during the fight, maybe for a Senator or a Congressman, just hang out in Rockwell or SM cinemas. You’ll surely find them there. But don’t disturb them on that day alright? Respect their time. It’s a time for themselves and for their families. Set an appointment the other day.
I also have a bad feeling about this fight, but I want him to win and I hope Manny would prove both of us wrong.
Btw, you forget to include Noli De Castro in the list of politicians who’ll be watching Manny’s fight. Hehe
Jaypee’s last blog post..Goodbye Dreamhost, Hello MediaTemple!
Yeah, Noli De Castro. How did I forget it?
Anyway, hoping Manny to win, is not different from hoping Marquez to lose.
Let’s just hope to have a nice-fair-good-entertaining-intense fight this Saturday night.
See you on Mandalay brother.
