Pay-per-view
We used our new LCD TV in the office to watch the big fight live on pay-per-view.
It's a very different experience watching it live and with minimal commercials. The whole thing just seems to flow better and the experience is exhilarating. That's the way to watch a fight, which may turn out to be Manny Pacquiao's greatest. He really showed class today and he beat the guy convincingly. Just look at how the guy fell down. He literally kissed the canvass.
What's funny is, we all jumped in excitement when Manny knocked David Diaz out and immediately got out celphones to text people of the result.
Those commercials, I think are bordering on vexatious. That may backfire on the advertisers, on sheer volume alone. There are even advertisements while the fight is in progress, occupying at least 1/3 of the screen. Good grief!
I know as I write this entry, the fight is not yet finished. It may come to a point where there may be a commercial for every punch the fighters will make. At that point, the sport will die a natural death, from suffocation.
Anyway, I look forward to the next pay-per-view. It was a good experience for me, not only watching the fight like that, but for the bonding session I had with my partners. That, I think, is the more important point of this decision of hours to get the fight live.
And all of these were happening while my kids were partying with the children's party of our associate's kid. So they had a bonding session of their own, as it turns out.
A good day today, indeed.
