Why was Pacquiaos celebration scripted by HBO?

[GrizzleBoy]

I went back and watched the fight again.

At the end after Manny wins, some dude with an HBO shirt on runs upto him while he's being held up in the air by one of his seconds and points towards the corner in a somewhat urgent manner.

At first it looks like a member of team Pac celebrating aggressively in a "you da man!" kind thing but then...

Manny sees the guy pointing at the corner, kinda goes "Oh ****!" and briskly jumps down into the corner.

The camera cuts to a brisk view of Haton on his back, then goes back to Pacquiao and lo and behold.......he's on his knees and starts praying/crying/whatever in the corner with his face in his gloves......................lol wat?

Here's a vid for you, skip to about 5:30 and watch the celebrations.

I couldn't help feeling the whole thing was kinda.........I don't know..........scripted?

Since when are celebration sequences/prayer/tears of joy pre determined by HBO lol?

It's pretty lame dont you think? I think 24/7 is gay enough at times, but that's a bit too much play acting for my liking.

I wonder what else is pre determined before fights take place?

So noone else finds this funny?

the video is down so it's hard to say

Ahh damn that's a ****ing ***** lol.

Ah well, I'm sure there's other vids of Pacs celebration that people can see, either downloaded, taped from tv or on youtube.

It's not how you make it out to be.

But I hear what you are saying.

This is a team of people paid to get us the best shots of things and they can't let things get away like amatuers, these camera man have orders and I am sure they have gone over things like what does Manny normally do after a fight. So the man calling the shots from the booth has a script he has to go by so they dont miss any shots. He will be telling people to get in position to get these shots. Shots that will later be used in some other time they need it. A guy is constantly barking orders to the men who are viewing the cameras and are running the switch boards and they are also communicating with the men who have the cameras. HBO are pros. But I am sure no one would have had to remind Manny to kneel and talk to himself. He would have done it sooner or later but that is the shot that the team of men wanted to get out of the way. But yes, you did make a valid point but it's not as you make it seem as if Manny is fake.

HBO pays big money for the footage they are buying from Arum so they have to get thier moneys worth for produciton later.

[- JCHING -]

LOL yea, I just rewatched the fight and noticed the HBO guy pointing at the corner lol..

But Manny would have done that anyways, HBO just wanted to capture it for the cameras at the right moment..

[FMJ The Best]

You're looking too far into this ****.

Attempts to discredit greatness are at an all time high.

Wow, you guys are amazing.

It really is how I'm saying it to be honest. Everything I said happens in the video. I respect Pac, I'm just saying this kind of scripted **** really is just a little too much fabrication for my liking.

Crying/Praying when someone with a headset on tells you to just doesn't seem right to me.

If he was going to do it anyway, I dont see the reason why they had to force it out of him?
