Fight of the Century?

It's finally here.. The long awaited fight between Pacquiao and Mayweather! It's almost too good to be true! Hahaha. A lot is riding on this fight and many have dubbed it the fight of the century! Let's hope it goes down in history in favor of Pacquiao!

Originally, Jeric and the boys were supposed to be in Vegas. But, seeing as how they wanted to watch the fight and it was closed circuit, it would have been $150 a person just for them to watch it in a bar. Way too expense! Then, they thought about renting a place to host the fight. But of course, that never worked out because that was expense too.

In the end, Jeric decided to setup the projector in his parent's garage and have us watch it there. It was actually a nice spot to have it too. We had the bbq grill out and before the fight ever started, we all had some delicious burgers while watching the Clipper game.

Of course, it still didn't go off without a hitch. While watching the Clipper game, we totally lost signal a few times. I guess the cable box in the garage would lose signal every now and then. This was scary and we were all imagining that we'd lose signal at the most crucial part in the fight!

Still, we stood our ground and hoped that it would stick. Then, right before the fight was to start.. the signal was lost! Hahaha. Everyone (but me) ran so fast into Jeric's parent's bedroom to watch it there. I eventually made my way there and Jeric saved me a spot. :D

Jeric's parents, Liz and her friend Ham, stayed in the garage though and just waited it out. Then, they shouted that it was back on and everyone ran back outside. But of course.. it blacked out once more and we all went back inside. LOL! It eventually came back on in the garage and they all went back, except me. I was tired of hoping on and off Jeric's parent's bed (it's super high). And I was tired of walking back and forth. So I just stayed and watched the rest of the fight there.

Now the fight..


Pacquiao vs Mayweather!! YEY!!

The fight started out how fights normally do.. each getting a feel for each other. Then the 3rd round came and Pacquiao exploded after a below the belt hit by Mayweather! We were all going crazy and, honestly, had the fight continued this way, I would have had to leave and do something else because it was quite stressful for the baby. I remember cheering and going crazy with everyone else and then feeling a bit light headed. Perhaps I over did it. LOL. But, sadly, I did not have to leave the room and stop watching. The fight was oh, sooo boring after that. It was such a waste of money and not a soul didn't feel utterly disappointed and of course, there's also the fact that Pacquiao lost.

I believe it was a fight where we all got duped and the two of them made out with a mother load of dolla dolla bills ya'll!
