$20M for Pacquiao in Margarito fight

New World Boxing Council (WBC) super welterweight champion and international boxing superstar Manny "Pacman" Pacquiao is to take home a guaranteed fight purse of US$15 million (around P645 million) plus around $5 million in pay-per-view (PPV) share from his resounding victory over Mexican Antonio "Tijuana's Tornado" Margarito.

According to ESPN sports analyst Dan Rafael, Pacquiao earned a total of roughly $20 million or P860 million from his thrashing of Margarito on Saturday (Sunday in Manila).

Surely, he'll land higher from 8th place in the Forbes Magazine's List of World's Richest Athletes, and surpass other famous athletes including Miami Heat superstar LeBron James. If he'll stay away from converting his cash prize to the peso-value, he''ll definitely reach the billion-mark for this fight, assuming the dollar strengthens against the peso.

The newspaper said the deal resulted from talks among executives of Apple, representatives of the Beatles and their record label, EMI Group Ltd.

The Journal, however, cautioned that the talks were taking place as recently as last week and "there is still a chance that Apple could change plans at the last minute."

There have been a number of reports over the years of the Beatles coming to iTunes but the music of the iconic British pop group has yet to make its debut in the Apple store.

Filipino tax informer seeks P11-trillion reward

Danilo Lihaylihay, a Filipino tax informer, may become one of the world’s wealthiest men if the Supreme Court concedes to his filing of a multitrillion-peso claim against the government.

Lihaylihay is asking the high tribunal to direct the national governemnt to pay him P11.875 trillion in "partial claims" for supposedly cracking information which led to the retrieval of the Marcoses' P47.5 trillion in fraudulent wealth .

The amount he is demanding is larger than the P85.1 billion of the illiciit assets of the late dictator Ferdinand Marcos, his family and cronies which the Presidentictial Commission on Good Government (PCGC) had actually reclaimed as of June 30, 2009.

It is even a number of times bigger than the Aquino administration's proposed national budget for 2011 of P1.645-trillion.

This case may seem ridiculous and  contemptible, but Lihaylihay argued that RA No. 2338, or the Informer's Reward Law, clearly states that any person who helped recover the illegally acquired assets was entitled to get 25 percent of that reward from the government.

(Reports from Inquirer.net Sports Column)

MANILA, Philippines – (UPDATE) Underscoring his tag as the world's best pound for pound fighter, Filipino ring hero Manny Pacquiao bucked a size disadvantage to outclass a game Antonio Margarito of Mexico and claim the WBC super welterweight

Pacquiao went through the motions in the final round, with the outcome all but wrapped up in the first 11 rounds.

Margarito took heavy shots but stayed on his feet. Pacquiao completes his classy performance with a late combination that lands flush on Margarito's face.

Who's pair of gloves will prevail? Surely, a lot of boxing fans out there are waiting for this new chapter in history. It can be remembered that, "Margarito's reputation was tarnished by an incident in which his corner is alleged to have tampered with his hand wraps prior to his bout with Shane Mosley, which were found by the CSAC to contain sulfur and calcium which, when combined with oxygen, forms 'Plaster of Paris'" (Wikipedia).

Meanwhile, there has been no record of violations or misconduct for Manny "Pacman" Pacquiao who usually wins via knockout (data shows 38 out of 51 fights won were by knockout). He is also the WBO Welterweight World Champion (Super Champion) and is recognized as the number 1 pound-for-pound best boxer in the world. Will these be enough to defeat his rival? I guess we'll find it out in the days which are to come.
