Manny Pacquiao versus Ricky Hatton fight in 2009

Well I was reading the newspaper yesterday or was it the other day and I saw that the boxing fight between Manny “Pacman” Pacquiao and Ricky Hatton will be pushing through at the 50-50 profit split. It was said that initially Manny Pacquiao wanted to pull out because he wanted a 60-40 split, but he decided to push through with the 50-50 split when it was explained to him that it would include the UK pay-per-view profits. Oh well, it doesn’t really matter much to me. I just like sitting and watching with my family when a Pacquiao fight is on each year.

Its quite fun to watch although its a little bit disturbing especially when some messages circulated around the internet and text messages after Manny’s last fight. Someone mentioned that every time Pacquiao has a fight and wins it, someone well-known in our country dies. It might simply be a coincidence but its eerie nonetheless. Made me remember the movie my sister and I watched earlier on HBO. I think the title is “Stay Alive” because it was the game the characters in the movie were playing. It was really eerie because the gamers were dying in reality the same way they died on the game. Oh well, good thing I watched it in daytime. :)

By the way, talking about Pacquiao made me remember General Santos and the canned tuna and wildfang we were given last Christmas. I loved them although its quite disappointing that they are not sold in the country because they are exclusively for export in the UK as well as Denmark (or was it Norway). The tuna one was preserved in sunflower oil, the wildfang one I forgot. Seriously, they’re delicious. I’d really buy them if they were available on the local market.
