So on my way to Gaisano Mall Cinema last Sunday for the much anticipated battle between Manny Pacquiao and Miguel Cotto of Puerto Rico, I took a few shots along the major thoroughfares of Davao City. Remember, I took these photos on the central business district of Davao around two hours before the main event and you’ll notice that the city became virtually a ghost town.

I mean it’s Thursday and “Firepower” is just a few days away. Due to time difference, it will be Sunday morning here in the Philippines by the time Manny Pacquiao and Miguel Cotto squares off the ring. But until now, I haven’t decided on where to watch this fight.

I know this is an exciting fight and a classic in the making. Having watched Pacquiao’s last two fights in Gaisano Mall Cinema here in Davao City, i’m itching to do the same thing. Among other options I’m also considering are SM City Cinema with friends Jeff and Junjun, in a hotel serving a lunch buffet or simply here at home on live stream video.

I have had some negative feedbacks on watching in a hotel served with lunch. So I might drop that off from my list. With regards to SM City, both Jeff and Junjun have already their tickets. So, the possibility is that we won’t be seated next to each other. Again, I’m dropping that off. So I’m down to two -at Gaisano Mall Cinema or on live streaming here at home?

So, it’s three days to go, two options in one mega fight!
