HBO is going to COVER MANNY's FIGHT!

Thats bold on HBOs part. I am certainly not going to complain about another opportunity to see Manny.

gym That gym is promoted bye the battery brand 3K

3 k battery 3 K battery , its one of the most important gym in Thailand, over there the fighters use the name of the gym where they have alwways trained like Fahsan (3K Battery)

Actually the whole Battery thing is sponsors. The battery companies sponsor the fighters, so they label them as 3K Battery. At least, I'm pretty sure that's what I read about it. Cheers!

hehe ill remember that....anyway fotta run nice weekend all back Monday. ;) Uh, come again?? :confused:

yuo put em in torches and stuff tracey they make electric things come to life :D sorry couldnt resist ;) Funny thing is I kept thinking "double A" and Metallica's "Battery"...so were on the same page evidently! :D

At the risk of sounding stupid, just what is the whole "battery" thing anyway? I know the K-1 (or whatever) is more martial arts than boxing, but have no clue what 'battery' is :o yuo put em in torches and stuff tracey they make electric things come to life :D sorry couldnt resist ;)

You would think he could get another name other than 3K, considering a figther already has the sponser name 3K Battery. I can't believe that HBO is gonna spend the money to go all the way out there and cover that stuff. The only promotional tool I need for the Pacman/JMM rematch is to have watched the 1st one.

Although it most likely won't be LIVE as it says it's going to air the fight the same weekend of the fight, it still is going to be great. Read more here, http://www.philstar.com/philstar/News200411051602.htm Michael Buffer may even be flown in they say to add to the event. This is going to be so sweet! Cheers! :D HBO was there the first fight for Wlad after KO'ing Sanders and all they broadcasted was twenty or so seconds of highlights as a filler bit on their real broadcast.

I have read it, too and the newspaper says it will just show some highlights of the fight not cover the entire fight. Well, that's just my understanding of it. Fahsan is popular only in Thailand, his homeland. This fight is for the Filipino fans only and not for worldwide viewing, i think. Not much interest from HBO with this tune-up fight of Pac, but its good news for us pac fans that this fight will be shown by HBO, I also think your right Chito, that HBO will only show highlights of the fight, but then again maybe this fight will be to short the every minute will be highlights.....

in addition to him not offically being an HBO fighter, most of the fight schedule for HBO is already filled

yeah definately good news

PacMan-Fahsan 3K No interest here in BKK. Fahsan who? ;) He'll get massacred just like Rakkiatgym. We know who wins already. Will Yoddamrong get Monshipour's red WBA superbantamweight belt in Paris this coming 8th-Nov? That's the hot topic lately. Weird! That fight is on my schedule that I just updated yesterday, but it doesnt say a thing about it being on HBO...matter of fact, it implies that it's not broadcasted at all. :confused: ( I, too, was wondering who the hell Fahsan 3K?? is)

I don't know what happened with the HBO deal. HBO alone didn't want to finance any of the money for this fight and couldn't get any dates for Manny to fight this year after Marquez bout. He's not listed on their site as an HBO fighter either, so I'm not sure how that contract went. As for this, there was no annoucement prior to this that the fight would be aired here(US). Cheers!
