Ladies and Gentlemen, it’s Showtime! This line is too common of Jimmy Lennon, Jr., the regular Showtime Boxing Ring Announcer. But this time around, let us hear what he will have to say for his opening spiel during the boxing match aptly dubbed as “Firepower”.
Indeed, it will be a power fight berween Miguel Cotto and Manny Pacquiao. As one ring writer puts it, “it’s hard to envisage this fight being anything other than a toe-to-toe war of attrition.”
In an interview with Dave Tyler, Lennon said that if Manny Pacquiao beats Miguel Cotto, especially in a spectacular manner, he has got to go down as one of the all time greatest boxers. Because he is taking on a huge task. In my mind he can’t miss because just moving up in weight and taking on a great champion is amazing. In truth I’m having a tough time with this fight, I think of upsets in the last two years in boxing and it makes me question my ability to understand the sport. This is one and I think Cotto has such a size advantage but I don’t put anything past Pacquiao so I’m having a tough time picking a winner.
With this very conflicting observation from the man on the ring himself, we have all the reasons not to miss this fight. Be there to witness this final showdown when it happens at the Crown Regency Hotel & Towers which will treat you to Breakfast Buffet from 7am – 10am and Lunch Buffet from 10:01 am until the fight comes to its close. Tickets for this venue is pegged at Php699.
Another venue you can opt at is the Crown Regency Suites & Residences Mactan where the payperview fight can be seen. Just the same, breakfast and lunch buffets will be offered to all spectators for the price of Php499.
At the Metrosports Center in Salinas Drive, Lahug the entire boxing fight will be seen on screen for only Php250. Snacks of delectable burger sandwich and a bottle of mineral water will be served to all boxing aficionados.
Choose your venue and let’s all be there to lend support to our Philippine idol, Manny Pacquiao!
