Not only am I a woman that really appreciates beer, but I am a woman who loves boxing. This Saturday’s Pacquiao vs. Hatton fight will be the ultimate beer/boxing lovefest for me. Line, up boys! ….okay I was just kidding, I didn’t mean really line up. No, really. Just sit down and enjoy this blog post. The PM love letter can wait. Pacquiao vs. Hatton, can’t.

The Pacquiao vs. Hatton fight is dubbed THE fight of the year, by basically everyone in the boxing world and me. If you can’t really distinguish a ‘fight of the year’ from a typical ho-hum fight, I’ll break it down simply: 1) Global appeal. Britain vs. Philippines…in Vegas. Hence the cheesy, “East vs. West” title. 2) The players are the best of the best of the best in their division. Ricky “The Hitman” Hatton has a record of 45-1 while Manny “The Pac Man” Pacquiao has 48-3-2. What do all the funny numbers mean? These guys are really f**king good. 3. No world titles are at stake, but if Pac man wins, it might be hard to find him another person to fight. He beat Oscar De La Hoya in De La Joya’s last fight of his career last year. 4. Businesswise, the fight is expected to hit the 1 million buy mark. In other words, everyone and their gerbil will be watching the fight on HBO PPV. In this economy, this is serious business.

My money’s on the Pac Man. For obvious reasons. Tune in Saturday, May 2nd 9 p.m. EST/ 6 p.m. PST, live on HBO pay-per-view.

I want to watch it. Then again at the same time, Boxing as a sport here has become too organized. LMAO


lol everybody and their gerbils… love it


my money is on Pacquiao. I think the Fight might go the distance, meaning a good fight ^^


There’s a lot of news coverage about this. Pac man has the ability to end wars if he wins.


Saw on ESPN that Pac man is the favorite to win ^^


Hmm.. I’m a girl and eventhough I don’t drink anymore, I still love MMA!  Does that count? It’s fighting anyway tongue laugh

I just saw an ad for this fight on tv and it made me want to check it out. I just might!


Good luck to Pacquiao! even though I never got into boxing.

Your more guyish then me (no offense)
I really don’t like boxing and I wouldn’t know if I like beer or not because I’m to young to drink beer

When you’re older, just remember: beer is delicious.

A girl who likes beer and boxing? Either she’s really a guy or the coolest girl ever!

I’m going to go with ‘coolest girl ever.’

Didn’t know Asians were good at boxing

Oh we’re damn good. The Pac Man is basically champion of the world.

Well i guess people’s taste buds changes over time


I started watching UFC recently, I might have to tune into this, especially with an Asian boxer up, this’ll be awesome.

sounds like a great exciting boxing match, but i have to agree with u, “the battle of east & west” is cheesy.
