I wish this would all be over. I’d like to let it go… the fight is a more important point of focus.
Even if GMA 7, in every minute and every hour, rubs it on every news flash that Manny Pacquiao stayed with them… it is all over. Let’s just wait for the fight, and hope that this does not affect him… but suddenly, it’s ABS-CBN fault!
That is how it seems to be, or how he wants to put it, when Pacquiao said ABS-CBN broke its promise! What promise is that? A promise that ABS-CBN will not televised Pacquiao’s interview with them in which he say that he will rescind his contract with Solar in their favor.

How long can one man hold his place at the top? How long can he depend his position against those who are after it? If you are a great fighter like Manny Pacquiao, chances are, you can hold on to it as much as you want.
But what if your enemy is yourself? Is Pacquiao causing his own downfall? Is he trying to destine himself for un-grateness?
Recent development in his upcoming fight against Ricky Hatton reports that Pacquiao dumped Solar Sports Entertainment in favor of ABS-CBN. Solar used to take charge of airing Pacquiao’s fight in the country, and they have the final say as to which local TV station will get the right to air it.

Unlike my post in my other blog where Michael Phelps might still get the nod of the products he endorsed, recent developments about his case are not in his favor.
Phelps was suspended and Kellogg dropped him like a hot potato.
USA Swimming has suspended Phelps for 3 months and his financial support will be cut off for the same three-months period.
Kellogg Co. on the other hand said it will not renew its sponsorship contract with the Olympic swimmer. The company said that Phelps’s behavior is “not consistent with the image of Kellogg.”

It could just be a prank.
But the text received by some people that Manny Pacquiao will be kidnapped shouldn’t be taken lightly.
Authorities have already warned Pacquaio of the threat.
Although Pacman just shrugged off the kidnap threat and said that he is not a bit worried. He was quoted as saying that he leaves everything to God and that He won’t let him and his family be in trouble.
Hoax or not, I believe this should not really be taken lightly.
Still, I wonder who can ever think of such a plot for our country’s pride?
With the upcoming fight of Pacquiao against Ricky Hatton, this is really not a welcome development.
And if it is a prank… a bad one indeed.
