Okay so I’m one of the millions of Filipinos that root for Pacquiao. It’s a matter of national pride. It’s for the benefit of our reputation of being the basket case of Asia. At least with Pacquiao dominating the boxing scene, we can, for an hour or so forget the immensely embarrassing problems besetting the country.
Sad to say, almost all live feeds of Pacquiao fights are with a fee. They do broadcast the fights on TV but with 30 minutes to one hour delay and loaded with advertisement. Sometimes 2 round fight can last up to 4 hours if you watch it on free tv.
I know, nothings for free, and even if it is “free” it comes with a price.
Here I am 30 minutes nearing the 10 am pacquiao fight, browsing the internet for any free live feeds. Here are some links I stumbled upon:

A Boxing-Crazed Nation
I kid you not. My government’s Armed Forces declared a seven-hour unilateral ceasefire in its campaign against communist insurgence to give troops time to watch the Manny Pacquiao-Manuel Marquez fight.
Military operations will cease at 8:00 am, March 16, 2008 Philippine time and will end at three pm same day. And I only know this today, Pacquiao is a military reservist holding a rank of Master Sergeant.
To declare a suspension of operations to watch a boxing fight? Priceless.
