Pacquiao Beats Marquez

Who? Manny “Pacman” Pacquiao of the Philippines versus Juan Manuel Marquez of Mexico in a match to get the WBC 130-Pound title at Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas, March 15, 2008.

Yeah, after four years when their match was a draw. Was it that long ago? I am not a fan of boxing. I just wanted to know the results so I went to search for the results.

• Washington Post has an article written Pacquiao Beats Marquez by Split Decision.

• It is Sweet Victory according to Philboxing.com.

• Pacquiao edges Marquez in Another Classic, Wins 130-Pound Title according to Maxboxing.com

It is a victory for the country, as they say. And yes, I agree.

But would this make us a better nation? Better people?

The media even says that when Pacquiao (great, several times i have misspelled the name) has a boxing match, the whole country is watching and there is zero crime rate. That is good news for this nation who has a lot of petty crimes going on daily. Now, we wouldn’t want Manny Pacquiao fighting the whole time so there would be totally zero crime rate.
