manny = money
Indeed, featherweight superstar Manny Pacquaio (43-3-2, 33 KOs) fight against Erik Morales (48-5, 24 KOs) last Saturday brought Filipino and foreign audiences watching live in Las Vegas and on television a mixture of excitement and boredom. What would be more nerve racking than having to watch a match which was commercially advertise in a couple of months end in just three rounds? Obviously,the audiences where not satisfied. They wanted more from these two boxing champions considering that they both worked hard on their training as seen in updates before the fight in television.
However, considering Morales’ physical aura in the first round, one could immediately assume that he would not last a round or two. It was quite obvious that Morales was the mediocre player base on his body structure and energy level. Nevertheless, there is also a strong possibility that the game would not have ended that quickly. And that possibility would have been realized if Manny Pacquaio decided to play on the crowd more and give his audience more time to increase their stakes. If this was the case, Pacman would not have left his elite fans disfavored and he would have had more share of the stake than what he had. After all, money is more important than ego, right?
On the other side of the coin, if Pacman decided to end the game at the last rounds for instance, he would have dishonored himself a little considering the fact that Morales was obviously not in his best disposition that day. He would have disfavored the masses and favored the elite fans. Either ways, if he chose to prolonged the match or stick to the knock out on the third round, he is still opt to have all the fame and glory. After all, Morales obviously does not have the chance to win that match at all. But bare in mind, it is a game and you know what they say, “it ain’t over ’till the fat lady sings!”. We never no maybe luck would start to scratch Morales on the last rounds and win the game, instead.
