Way to go Manny!!!
Remember sweating him play 10 000 and 15 000 sets in February 2007, in Manila, against a mayor who also liked to bet high. Yes, the bets were $, not pesos
If I am not mistaken they played races to 21 in 9-ball, but you had to win with 2 games. I believe Pacman gave some hcp to the mayor.
They had decided to play 7 sets!!! 7 x 10 000 $...
They started around 8-9 in the evening, and at 9 in the morning Pacman was 1 set down, but they still had a few sets left to play. They finished this marathon-match in less than 24 hours. Don't know who won in the end, but it was a close match with some exciting sets so probably only a 1 set victory.
Manny knows how to pocket some balls, that's for sure.

Their heavyweight champion is an ex-pro wrestler with 6 fights? There's a joke.
ODH got his jazz handed to him by a younger and hungrier fighter in his prime.
The 2-1 betting odds was ridiculous. It went down to 7-5 when Pac's backers came to Vegas earlier this week.
Caaaa ching!!!!

I disagree with that statement. I have regretted every PPV UFC fight I have paid for. Boxing does have its share of duds but then you get that one great fight that sucks you back into the sport. The most recent was the Margarito-Cotto fight a few months back. UFC is pretty boring to me, and the way I see it that sport is resembling WWE more every day.
I have Direct TV and had to pay an extra $10 to get the fight in HD. Am I the only one who is really pissed off about that? I know that I pay an extra $10 a month per HD reciever on my account. Since I pay for these receivers shouldn't I get all programs in HD that are offered. They pulled the same move the NFL Sunday ticket package selling the package for one price and then only giving the games in standard definition after the first week, I had to pay an extra $100 to be able to watch the games in HD. Do companies like comcast charge extra for PPV programs in HD as well?

Money Earned.
The Golden Boy is expected to make just over $20,000,000 and Manny is supposed to get around $11,000,000 after all is settled.
I guess he can play some $10,000 sets. Also, he has been designated a National Treasure in the Philippines if I have the title right. Also, made and making movies.
When I saw that picture of him without the shirt I thought I was looking into a mirror...except for the mustache.

How many Pool Rooms had free PPV of the fight ???
In Phoenix, We were lucky to have a free showing of the fight on several giant screens at Bullshooters, while we competed in the Desert Classic Tour, stop # 9. We should have panned around the room with Lenny's live stream.
It was Standing Room Only, and its a hugh room. Also on, was the hugh in-state rivalry football game, ASU vs. U of A.
I nailed almost every Tucson pool player with an EVEN bet. They didn't care that ASU was a 12 point favotite. (the idiots!)
Final score... U of A, 31- ASU, 10. Then the creep's robbed me for several more $$$ playing pool after the tournament.
It was not a good night for Dickie.
Dick (the smart Bookie)
PS. Gum9ball and his Road partner AD, got me drunk. I am plotting revenge.

Well Mr Bookie,
Sorry you had "not a good night" but if memory serves me you seemed to have a very good time as you invested in your future. It was fun "getting" you drunk and taking advantage but I seem to recall trying to quit when we were even and then you put a shot of Yukon Jack to my head and suggested we play another set.
It was a fun time and for once I was able to book 3 winners in one night: The U of A game, the De La Hoya fight and winning a race to three in one pocket playing the world famous San Jose Dick. It was a good night for me and I had nothing to do with your adventures with the AD. That was all your doing.
