PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Manny Pacquiao (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Tasmanian Devil (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Pacquiao might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Its Time for War. There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.
