I will have to assume that this is not your first boxing match where there were fighters NOT from the USA. It is customary and traditional to sing the anthem of the fighters and the country that the match is being held. Also it would have helped that perhaps they screen the folks who sing the US national anthem, I can recall sometime ago when Rosann Barr 'slaughtered' it.Originally Posted by Greig
Now you think that 'Lupang Hinirang' - Philippine National Anthem is long? It is actually suppose to be sung in a fast mode, as it is a March, not a concert piece. This has been brought up at least from 2 of Pac's last fight by the Senators and other 'influental' people of the PI. Trust me, the PI anthem is not long at all, try holding a salute for 'Kimigayo' - Japanese National Anthem, as you say, you could camp out till the next fight on that one.
You could always just be waiting in line for a cold beer while the anthems are going on, if you don't want to hear them.
Semper Fi!
