Manny Pacquiao Vs Ricky Hatton

[deihatein]

Who do you think will win on this hyped match? I will both for either. But I want to see Manny lose, just once.

[Oakrhum]

Taking away all irrelevant, homosexualish, bitchy, gayish, uncool stuff like "I want to see Manny lose because I'll look cool if I go against Pacquiao, Pacquiao doesn't have a good english, If I pick Hatton, I'll look good, Hatton has a resemblance with Redford White and Conan O'brien and any other comments similar to that..I think with the speed and power of Manny, he'll win this fight but this will go the distance..being a filipino adds up to the wish that I want Manny to win but all in all, this would be a very good, action-packed fight that people who don't know boxing will also like..

and this fight is not just hyped..this is a battle of the two more popular boxers in the world..so even without any promotion it will get our concern..something that boxing idiots does not know..

[deihatein]

Lol at the first two sentence. To me every match that pacquiao has is always hyped, in our country by the way. If he loses, I will call this overhyped.

[Oakrhum]

hyped is an understatement i supposed. he's known all over the world and i'm proud of it.

[shadowgrin]

I would rather see Manny win all of his matches than see him winning any political position when it's election time.

we're talking about boxing here.

[shadowgrin]

So am I with the intention that I wish to see him win all his boxing matches.

[WickedNite]

Pacquiao wins, KO in ROUND 2!

[Skills]

Holy shit! I didn't see this coming. I expected this to end in a decision, but Manny in 2 rounds? 2 FUCKING ROUNDS? Mayweather, you're up.

P.S. Did anyone else notice Batista was Pacquiao's bodyguard? Flippin' sweet!

i can't believe it either. and yea, batista was manny's bodyguard. sweet!

[shadowgrin]

In a previous match, Undertaker was part of Manny's entourage. I think it was a Morales fight.

The fight was so short that they replayed the whole fight six times consecutively here just to make it twelve total rounds. Stupid sponsors.

[deihatein]

Lol at Hatton being beating, in Round 2, in a highly anticipated supposed to be long match. Pacquiao really want to finish things, in a pinch

Lol , the sponsors do not want to embarrass themselves after a short fight. I remember that sometimes there will be like a 15-minutes commercial before the match to be shown, which is kinda annoying

EDIT: I have just watch the fight, here are my thoughts about the 2 round beating.

What's with Hatton being sloppy? Is he not that ready to face Pacquiao, all he does in the first round is hug him after he was first knockdown by Pacman, I lol'ed at Hatton missing his desperation punch after he fall down.

It was clearly going to be Pacman way even if he hasn't KO Hatton, Lol at Hatton being flat KO in the second round

that's how business goes and there's no reason to call it stupidity.

thanks to free streamings i don't have to go elsewhere and pay for a ticket to watch it live.

Seen the fight, I was disappointed with what Hatton did. It's either he became overconfident, or Manny drank diesel before the fight. Not the finish I was expecting, I was hoping that the match would end in six, be it Manny or Ricky.

that's how business goes and there's no reason to call it stupidity.

Don't pretend that you weren't annoyed with that. So what's the reason why did the recent Donaire fight (also a short one) wasn't replayed three times?

It was annoying as hell. It wasn't like that before. The TV ads weren't that much on and before Pacquiao-Morales I.

Seen Martin Nievera's performance of the national anthem. Way effin' better with the guy who sang the Philippine anthem in the Donaire match, whoever in hell is that guy?

This was Martin's shirt when he performed. I happened to have that too.

[shadowgrin]

that's how business goes and there's no reason to call it stupidity.

Round 1 starts and the fighters are about to step out of their corners and then it cuts to an ad ("this round is brought to you by...") and then it goes back to the fight. Why cut the action when they could have just placed that ad even before the round started?

[buzzy]

Hatton just lost because of those ugly-ass trunks.

What's unintelligent with that? That's the time when the people are really drawn in and all eyes are in their TV sets. If they placed the ad right before the round, chances are people are not yet watching. People go to pee or do whatever it is during commercial breaks so if they place it in between the actual show, there's no escape. We'll see the ad whether we like it or not. But I understand you, I think you're just annoyed and can't find the right word to say and the coolest word to say for you is the word "stupid", pretty much like Manny Pacquiao's "you know and I mean" when he's lost for words.

probably neither

in the post fight interview, Manny & Roach both discussed that they found a hatton weakness- he tended to put his left guard down when throwing his right. their gameplan was to use the right hook (or as Manny would say) his "secret wee-pon". hatton never adjusted so he got his jaw broken

[Oakrhum]

Don't pretend that you weren't annoyed with that. So what's the reason why did the recent Donaire fight (also a short one) wasn't replayed three times?

Because it lasted for four rounds and there's also a Brian Viloria fight that lasted for 11 rounds, no need to replay those two fights and definitely, placing an advertisement for a Pacquiao fight is more expensive than Donaire and Viloria fight combined. The fight is too short so they have to repeat it over and over again for their ad to be seen and not all pinoys are crabs and bitch (those who hate Pacquiao for reasons not related to boxing), seeing the fight repeatedly is worth it.

Long commercial breaks are annoying but it's understandable for real boxing fans. I'm prepared and as I have said, live streamings in the internet are free.

About, Martin Nievera's shirt, I thought he would wear "Pride". Could have been better but still, it's FMCC.

[Lean]

Really. We have our eyes on the match, we all believe that the over-delayed telecast's main card will start and we get to see a big bottle of gin splat over the screen and a puny "Round 1" below it. It's unintelligent, because, we all know what round it is.

I think I've seen you post before.

Because it lasted for four rounds and there's also a Brian Viloria fight that lasted for 11 rounds, no need to replay those two fights...

Still, there's no sense on replaying the thing six times in a row, putting the same number of commercials in between rounds. In-between rounds, there's like a minute or so to prepare for the next round. So pitting in a commercial break for like 2+ minutes will definitely blow one's patience off, even for such a short match.

I was expecting him to wear Pride, too. That's a much more recognizable shirt.

[john26]

my god that was a beating. fatton gonna retire for sure

[Oakrhum]

Not yet I supposed but he will never get to face a boxer with the caliber of the Pacquiaos and the Mayweathers. He'll start from scratch again.

From a short term marketing standpoint it may not be stupid, but in the long term it's still stupid, market-wise, because the airtime of commercials actually exceeded the set standard, but since the broadcasting station isn't under the jurisdiction of that particular goverment agency which handles such things, it got off the hook. It now has potential to be barraged with legislation, bad news for adverts, if it does happen. What we just all need, more legislation.

Stupid, because it's a move which can piss off potential consumers.

Stupid because it's sets a precedent which may be followed by other broadcasters/stations . (see related first paragraph)

Stupid because the sponsors and broadcaster didn't have the insight to plan the airtimes just in case that the fight might be short or not last past three rounds (which is the accepted norm for a short fight). The number and length of commercials could have made a 12 round fight seem like 24 rounds.

Stupid because I was already sick and tired of the cut-away long commercials during the singing of the national anthems and the entrance of fighters. Tom Jones' rendition of God Save The Queen wasn't even shown, it would be understandable if the singing of the Star Spangled Banner wasn't shown also as some sort of support to Pacquiao or nationalism but only the God Save the Queen was left out. Does the singer of God Save the Queen have to be part Filipino as well just to for it to be shown, like that with the U.S. national anthem? What's up with that? So much for respecting other culture.

I hope you understand what I'm trying to say, "you know what I mean?"

[Oakrhum]

Yeah, I know what you mean because you're annoyed with it.

You got some serious point here.

Now Oakrhum I'm waiting for your "you're a poser Pinoy" comment. I really think you've been here before.
