Pacquiao vs. Marquez II
15-March-2008
My cousin Andy invited me and my family to go to Las Vegas with his family for the
Pacquiao vs. Marquez boxing event in Mandalay Bay. Although my cousin could not get
extra tickets for the fight, he said that we'll just go to the after-the-fight party.
While waiting for the fight to start, my cousin Chuck and I was just relaxing in the strip.
We had $0.99 hot dogs and chips and drank a few bottles of beer. When the fight was about to
start we went up to our room to watch it. To our surprise, no other hotel other than Mandalay
Bay is broadcasting the show. Needless to say, we were not able to see the fight! Bummer... :-(
"Good luck Manny!" |
"We hope he wins!" |
After the fight, we went to Mandalay Bay for the After-Party. There we met up with Andy, his
wife Michelle, the Governor of General Santos and two other close friends of the Governor.
My wife and I have met the Governor before when we went to General Santos last 2005, we met
him at my cousins Dive Resort while he was scuba diving for the day. So this was the second
time we met.
There was a lot of people on the after party. We first stayed at a nearby bar just to chat
and drink. We were waiting for Manny to come to the party before we would go in. But it seemed
that Manny was not feeling too well after the fight that he did not even go to the after party.
Nevertheless, we had fun in Vegas. The women went shopping and the kids played at Circus Circus.
