Everyone is really excited with the Pacquiao vs. Cotto match this coming Saturday (Sunday in the Philippines). How will you watch it? In the Philippines, the Big Dome in Araneta will be showing the fight live in big screen and for a fee for anyone who are interested will surely witness the "battle royale" in a an exciting match. In my case, I can't go to Araneta and can't even go to theaters to watch it live so I am planning to visit Bleuken or Telepisodes' websites to find links to watch the match. Other alternatives will be through the use of SOPCast which is a peer-to-peer connection that lets you share or view online streaming of TV Shows and like this Pacquiao Cotto event.
How about you how will you watch Pacquiao vs. Cotto live? Share it with us.
A controversy just blurt out of the cyberspace today due to news that Congressman from the Philippines will be spending several dollars/pesos and absent on the opening of the session of the Congress just to watch the upcoming fight Pacquiao vs. Cotto this November 14. This triggers some members of the Congress to say that these representatives that will be enjoying the match is so irresponsible. Imagine they will spend some amount of money (which I don't know if it came from their own pockets or from the tax that we are paying) for the boxing fight of our Pacquiao despite the fact that the country suffers from the previous calamities.
My personal opinion about this is that it is just fine if it doesn't affect their responsibilities as representative of the country (specially if they are not actually doing anything even if they are present) and as long as they are not spending the money of the people. If its their own money then let it be. They have the freedom to do that. If not then file a graft case on the ombudsman they deserve it.
Why just they can't watch it on TV?
The fight promotional series for the Pacquiao vs. Cotto match will be aired on HBO live on October 24, Saturday. It is the usual reality shows that made specifically for boxing events like this upcoming fight in November. It contains the drama behind the match which is usually composed of rich footage of the practices, the places where both fighters originated and the inspirations Manny Pacquiao and Miguel Cotto are holding on to pursue or defend their titles.
Actually prior to this 24/7 series, there's a lot of video clips released by HBO containing some portion of the said award winning documentary series. Some them are dubbed with titles "Face off", "Heritage" and "Tattoo's of the Past." All of these video are shown in HD quality emphasizing the strength and traits of both fighter. Here's the Pacquiao Cotto 24/7 "Heritage" video:
I usually watched Pacquiao's fight and the Cotto vs. Pacquiao match is one of the event that I will not want to miss. However, based on the different fights that I watched of Pacman, I saw him that he can handle every opponent that comes on her way. Even he even punched on the face on or body. However, Miguel Cotto of Puerto Rico is different it seems that he is much bigger, heavier and much stronger compared to his previous opponents. Well, Pacquiao is Pacquiao and considered to be People's champ.
This is the reason why I am excited to watch the Pacquiao vs. Cotto fight live online or even on delayed broadcast on television.
These fighters, Manny Pacquiao, Miguel Cotto, Floyd Mayweather and Juan Marquez are excelling on their fields on their own time. People from different countries are claiming the number one title and everyone recognize each of them. Currently the highest paid and current holder of the pound for pound kingship is Manny "Pacman" Pacquiao of the Philippines. Its a title that he have proven to be true by beating several fighters that are best on their weights. Miguel Cotto also have a current title that he defended well on his previous fight with Clottey, now challenged by Pacquiao. That's the reason for Pacquiao vs. Cotto fight this coming November. Both fighters have a chance to be someone. Pacquiao when he beats Cotto will have a record breaking achievement while Cotto if he beats Pacquiao will be the Puerto Rican that beats the Filipino pound for pound king and he will definitely written to the boxing history.
On the other hand, Mayweather of US is claiming that he is still the number one pound for pound fighter in the west and the whole world. He is still doesn't have any professional career defeats and come back to the boxing light when someone claims his throne. That's why Marquez received a challenge from him to be his come back match on Sept. 19. The Mayweather vs. Marquez is undeniably to be expected and the outcome will make their lives quite different. Who will be proved wrong and right, only the ring of the bell and the judges scores plus their punches will say it all.
So watch for their fights soon, very soon!
