We know that news programs deliver the news and many claims to deliver the news at it happens. Well, here’s one news that we can say the program delivered straight from the scene.
Why? Because the scene was the news program itself, and the news anchor is not exactly delivering the events behind him.
As the anchor was delivering the news during a live broadcast on Italian television, two men, probably from the technical team was slugging it out behind him… and the camera kept on playing.
When he discovered what’s happening behind him, he was so surprised (or probably scared) that he just left the scene.
Here’s the video of the said newsroom brawl.

“You can’t get any bigger in this business than to fight Manny Pacquiao right now,” said Josh Clottey, who acknowledges fighting the pound-for-pound king Manny Pacquiao is more than just the money.
The Pacquiao-Clottey fight will be on March 13, a match that was inked following a fall-out from the negotiation with Mayweather, Jr.
Pacquiao will be putting his WBO welterweight crown against Clottey in their match which will take place at the Dallas Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, Texas.

What the…?!
How could anybody even think to come up with a proposal of a 10-year marriage contract? Really now.
And does parenthood goes with that contract too? Can you imagine a father telling his son, “Sorry son, my 10-year contract is up. Tomorrow, I will no longer be your father.”
It’s a good thing some solons are willing to put a foot on it and not let such a proposal pass them. Marriage is a lifetime commitment, and you don’t even need to be religious to know that!
Perhaps there was a good reason to put an expiration date on marriage (I’m not sure, I’m just giving it the benefit of the doubt lest I call it outright insanity), but definitely there would be losers in such a law… the first one being the proponents of the law.
I pity the children.
Sure, it does not follow that the couple will separate after 10 years, but why even give it an option? As if annulment and divorce isn’t enough, there has to be a fine print in the contract to encourage it.
I really don’t understand the logic of such proposal.
Call me old fashioned, but I still believe that “what God has put together, let no man put asunder.”

Floyd Mayweather can keep his unbeaten record untouched. That is because Top Rank promoter Bob Arum literally said goodbye to him on Christmas Eve. Manny Pacquiao will no longer face Mayweather, and he, together with Top Rank, will even sue Mayweather and Golden Boy Promotions for maligning his character.
With the Pacquiao-Mayweather fight called off, the door is now open for every boxer who wants to take a shot at the undisputed pound-for-pound king.
Meanwhile, Mayweather can keep his unbeaten record to himself.
