Why was Pacquiaos celebration scripted by HBO?

[GrizzleBoy]

Well considering the people from Setanta sport were saying

MANNY SHOULD NOT BE CELEBRATING!

I guess we can't please everyone. You get mad if they make him pray so they can the shot out of the way, and the British Announcers get angry if Manny Celebrates.

I don't care if you like the fact that it was scripted. I understand why it was done. It don't piss me off. When Floyd prays, I don't it is sincere either lol but Manny is always talking about God. Floyd on the other hand is always talking about ***** this and biatch that and phuk here and so on. Sorry you are not happy with this and I hope you don't hurt yourself over it because it is not that important, you said yourself you know how things work so why are you making such a big deal about it?

What the commentators said pretty much has NOTHING to do with what we're talking about.

Believe it or not, you can still not celebrate without HBO telling you to not celebrate. You know like, acting naturally without your actions being planned beforehand. etc. If Manny didn't celebrate, at least it would be down to his own decision and not because some dude in an HBO shirt came upto him and said "dont celebrate" lol.

"Hey God hold on a second, I'm gonna praise you in a bit, but first I need to let HBO show a shot of the guy I just punched in the face till he lost consciousness so they can get the awesomest angle of me praying to you. Oh btw Jesus thanks for the ability to get paid to potentially kill people, I know this is what you want for me being a Catholic and all. KO your neighbour as your would like to be punched or KO'd right? Okay guys are we ready now? Okay God, they got the shot lined up I can praise you now!"

I mean come the **** on man lol.

I see that you couldn't care less, but I love boxing and my ability to spot BS when I see it too much to just say "oh well thats how it is".

That is why HBO hired those cameramen, they know what shots to take. And they have done that to Pacquiao even awhile back. From what i remember is the 2nd fight with Morales.

Hardly.

It's just that people on this board and ESB think they one word, one liners are good enough to be counted as actual discussion and end up thinking they're "owning", you.

Either way, the only reason I even went over there is because boxingscene is ****ing about.

Did you also notice that the philapino national anthem HBO played backing music due to the fact that hattons fans would of been booing.. and the the British and American anthems were accapella.

It's all about TV, baby!

It's probably for a commeraritive DVD or an HBO special and let me tell you, as a documentary producer, we need our money shots and Manny kneeling at the corner in silent prayer is a money shot. This is what personifies Manny, a religious fighter who owes everything he has ever achieved to his creator. To miss this shot is unforgivable. The director would have been in deep ****.

As much as a documentary is about reality, producers or directors often control or manipulate a situation to get the shots they want, as long as what they ask the protoganist to do is not out of character. Sometimes, in the heat of the moment, like Manny's unbelievable KO of Ricky, you forget the things that made you who you are and it is up to the tv show guys to remind you.

I'm sure Manny didn't need to be reminded, but the producer didn't want to take the chance.

And cut.....
