In what must be a bittersweet day for Pay Per View customers, Pacquiao knocks out Hatton during the second round of the anticipated Battle of East and West.
The quick fight caused many a subscriber to gulp as they remember the money they invested for an anticipated exciting fight. Their wails, however, were drowned out as the cheers of onlookers rumbled across the entire country, or at least in places where Pay Per View is available. Not surprisingly, these same onlookers grabbed their cell phones and excitedly spoiled the fun for everyone else who were unfortunate enough not to afford/be invited/unashamedly gate crash Pay Per View venues.
Nevertheless, the distress of Non Pay Per View viewers did not end with being spoiled of the fun of an unknown outcome. They had to endure minutes of advertisements just to watch the fight. They may have complained a little, but the thrill of seeing Manny the Champion is worth more than a few hours of redundant ads.
For in every Filipino mind whether rich, poor, or in between; the victory of Pacquiao is also the victory of the Filipino.
