Since everybody's talking about it, it sure won't hurt to talk about it too.
Pacquiao did it again. He surprised the world again. I have to admit that I was one of the millions that was glued to the television to watch the fight of the year, I should now say.
Everybody talks about Pacquiao with Batista included in the entourage.
Everybody talks about the celebrities inside the MGM Grand Garden Arena, talks about international celebrities taking a chance at having a picture with Pacquiao.
Everybody talks about how Pacquiao knocked out Hatton.
Everybody talks about Pacquiao's victory.
Everybody talks about them but nobody dares to talk about the reality of it. What's so special and amazing about two people with customized gloves made to punch his opponent with hopes of hurting him for the chance of winning? What's so special about personalized mouthpieces that shows or even jumps out of the mouth after a hard punch? About tailored shorts and branded shoes? What's special about two human beings boxing each other, ruining the face of each other while everybody in the ringside, those that chose to pay for a live show and those that stayed at home to watch the delayed broadcast shouts after every punch is thrown? There is nothing really special about them. With the Filipinos' active and obvious support to thier kababayan and with the Europeans' loyal support to their countryman everything seemed to be coiled in a box and every punch given by each is a equivalent to shouts and screaming from their kababayan's and countrymen. A victory of one is a National celebration - a celebration for winning against the other and maybe a celebration for winning the bet.
Hatton may have lost but he made the fight 'The Fight'. Without him, Pacquiao's victory wouldn't be as glorious as it is. For you Hatton, it pays to loose sometimes to know what real victory is all about. Remember, it takes one brave looser for a winner to be declared.
Whatever it is, the unity among the Filipinos and Europeans during Pacquiao and Hattons fight will always be something special and the honor that this man called Pacman brought to the Philippines has no equivalent, it only makes all the Filipinos in the east or west, north or south, proud be Filipinos. With all the Filipinos in the world, I am proud to be one! Congratulations Manny "Pacman" Pacquiao! :)
