Manny Pacquiao of the Philippines celebrates after defeating Miguel Angel Cotto of Puerto Rico in their WBO Welterweight Championship fight at the MGM Grand Garden Arena on November 14, 2009 in Las Vegas, Nevada. Pacquiao won his seventh world title in as many divisions and what amazes boxing experts is he hasn't show any signs of losing power as he fights bigger stronger opponents. Pacquiao's six titles came in a half dozen weight classes ranging from 112 to 140 pounds. He weighed just 106 pounds in his pro debut in 1995 and captured his first title in the 112-pound flyweight division. AFP PHOTO/Mark RALSTON

7. mail peetava Manny Pacquiao ning Shane Mosley vahel toimuva poksi WBO kergkaalu tiitlimatšile müüdi esimese kolme tunniga 16 tuhat piletit.
"Uskumatu, lihtsalt uskumatu," lausus üritust korraldav staarpromootor Bob Arun. "Ma ei ole kunagi korraldanud matši, kuhu nii kiirelt nii palju pileteid on müüdud. Manny Pacquiao ei kavatsegi lõpetada maailma hämmastamist oma saavutustega."
Tiitlikaitsja ning maailma parimaks poksijaks peetav filipiinlasest Manny Paquiao hämmastas maailma, kui sai eelmise aasta maikuus kodumaal valituks Sarangani provintsi kogresmeniks.
Matš peetakse MGM Grand hotellis Las Vegases.
