Ya, rocky, you've been acting more like a paranoiac narcotics agent than a boxing expert. Hope you'll show more of your boxing knowledge than your expertise in detecting a ped user. If not, this is where you should be posting:

Once in awhile, get outside in fresh air, take a deep breath & with a deep sigh, let out all the things that's bottled up inside you & be free, & you'll get a glimpse of nirvana.
@pacfan always good to hear from you. I know a while ago you were speaking of a tragedy that took place in your country, hope things are getting better. I have a few questions for you if you have the inclination to answer
1- will the fight be shown for free in your country
2- the American press often talks about Mannys charitable works in your country, can you provide any details as to what exactly he does, is it known what kind of money he donates, I have read he is generous to a fault.
3- we are all aware Manny holds political office in your country, his wife as well I believe. Is he a good politician, has he produced any legislation which was of benefit to your country. Anything else he has done while in office that helped the country.
4- has Manny gone back to Catholicism yet or is he still evangelical. I would feel a lot better about the fight if I knew Manny was Catholic again.
Hope I didn't blind side you with all these questions, just things me and other pactards have been talking about but we have yet to find in-depth answers from someone like you, a citizen

No problem, bud, @walrus, I'll try my best to answer your questions.
1. Yes, it will be shown free...but...with tons of commercial in-between rounds so the telecast is delayed by about 2-3 hours. Commercials on main events usually lasts about 5 mins per round so the whole fight can last up to 2 hours. There's also PPV on cables here and the price has been set at about 2,500 pesos, which is about $60, pretty stiff for most folks here.
2. The local media outlets don't cover much of Manny's 'other' activities but when disasters like typhoons strikes the country, Manny has often been caught on local news distributing goods and cashes to the victims.
3. Politics. No doubt Pac is considered a hero in the country but some of his 'other' activities including politics, singing and acting are just been tolerated by people here. Sometimes they are treated as butt of jokes but not in a disrespectful manner most of the time. Politically, he is known here as an absentee congressman.Many people here think he's just been led on and used by some politicians taking advantage of his naivete. No doubt someday he will be pushed to run for president by these sycophants.
4. Nope, even his devoutly Catholic mother failed to convince him to get back. For now, he's definitely a staunch evangelical Christian. I heard he's building an evangelical church somewhere around his hometown costing millions of dollars. Just like in politics, some people say he's just be led on by those evangelical preachers but I'd rather not go into that; all I can say is that they are very good talkers.
Just to give you an overview, in this country the people are divided in two groups: the intellectual elites which makes up about 20% and the rest who are called 'masa' or the masses who make up about 80% of the population. The intellectual elites are more critical, even regarding Pac, and these are the Filipinos you might have encountered all over the WWW posting in English or the so-called Taglish - mix of English and Tagalog. The masses are the ones whom you hardly hear from...but...they are the ones who control the politics here. They have the votes and they vote with their hearts, not minds and that's one major reason why this country has been in rut. What I'm trying to drive at here is that if Pac can maintain his popularity, it is not impossible that these masses will make him a president someday. No problem there except he will probably be used by some people for their selfish interest. But what the heck, I say, Pac for President!!!
