Timbaland, Jojo and Justin Timberlake Live in Manila Concert

February 19, 2010 by Janey

***UPDATE*** Timbaland concert will supposedly start at 930 PM tonight to make way for Earth Hour.

Rumor has it that Timbaland will have a concert in Manila and his special guest is supposedly Justin Timberlake!!! I love Timbaland but shouldn’t it be the other way around –a JT concert in Manila featuring Timbaland? At any rate, I don’t mind who’s on the spotlight but I would love to see both Justin Timberlake and Timbaland in one show -it would be one sizzling performance!!!

U92 is launching, which is the push behind the concert of Timbaland who is supposedly coming to Manila together with Jojo and JT. I’m so excited to get confirmation on this soon. My only gripe is, I wish it was going to be held in Araneta Coliseum.

It’s a Match: Pacquiao – Hatton on May 3

April 23, 2009 by Janey

The May 3 bout between Filipino boxing champ Manny “Pacman” Pacquiao and British slugger Ricky Hatton is very much anticipated by many boxing fans. According to the promoters, the seats are all sold out even if there are still 10 days left prior to the match.

This supposedly 2^nd to the last fight of Pacman will be held at MGM Grand in Las Vegas. Have you bought your tickets? In Manila, you can still catch the action via closed-circuit viewing at various restaurants, sports bars, and hotel lounges.

Promotion of the Pacman –Hatton event is co-handled by Oscar De La Hoya’s Golden Boy Promotions and Top Rank. Top Rank’s Bob Arum expects this fight to overshoot existing pay-per-view records.

“Given that the live gate for this event is sold out, coupled with the sellout of tonight’s San Francisco Giants baseball game where Manny is the guest of honor, indicates to me that ‘The Battle of East and West’ is on track to break all existing pay-per-view records,” Arum said in a statement.

This bout highlights two of the best pound for pound fighters in the world today in the form of Manny Pacquiao and Ricky Hatton. Floyd Mayweather Senior, currently Hatton’s trainer, claims that Hatton will undoubtedly knock Pacman out. On the blue corner, Pacman’s long time trainer, Freddie Roach, said in an interview that he will bet his house (one of the many probably) that Pacman will knock Hatton’s lights out.

This is going to be a very exciting fight since both great fighters are at the prime of their career. Pacman has yet to face someone who is also at the peak of his boxing strength and skills. Hatton’s form is exactly Manny’s form when he was starting out… that brawl sense of style. Defense is a little loose while the punches are straightforward and onrushing. Mexican boxers, Barerra, Marquez and Morales have reached their winning climax when Pacquiao met them as a young fresh blood.
