5-3-2015 Pacquiao- Mayweather boxing match

The boxing match between Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather, Jr. on May 3, 2015 was one of the most highly anticipated boxing matches ever here in the Philippines.

I went to photograph people watching the match on live pay per view at three different places in Poblacion, Makati.

I ended up staying to watch at the third place with the tent. got kicked out of the covered court for taking photos (some guy said i may try to use the photos to make people think he’s running for politics. i don’t even know who he is) and the second place was too crowded.

Aside from the negative experience of being kicked out of a venue by a paranoid would-be-politician (see above), I was happy to be welcomed by the group watching Pay Per View on a 32″ TV in the tent a few streets down.
