Manny is THE man ... the fight was a thing of beauty.

There had to be an ugly side, however, and it occurred per-fight.

Compare the quite moving singing of the Philippine national anthem by a beautiful, traditionally dressed Filipina, to the travesty of the American anthem delivered by what appeared to be some crack ‘ho’.

And, as Oscar was born in the US and is an American citizen, what was with the Mexican anthem being presented?
It was all so silly that I could not begin to explain it to the Indonesians with whom I watched the fight in Jakarta.

Oscar has dual citizenship. The primary reason he kept it was marketing.

Constantly seeing Harry Reid @ringside almost ruined the fight for me.

Pacquiao vs Mayweather will have to happen sooner or later.
