Here's Your Manny Pacquiao/Shane Mosley Fight Night Open Thread
Manny Pacquiao will fight Shane Mosley in Las Vegas, with the WBO welterweight title on the line, tonight. But is it truly a fight when everybody already knows who is going to win, and when the person who everybody knows is going to lose doesn't betray even a hint of anger toward his foe?...

Another interesting tidbit about Charlie Bell: his wife...

Watch This Manny Pacquiao Puppet Sing A Sweet Ballad
Unless you have Showtime or are a boxing fan, you probably haven't noticed much buildup for the Manny Pacquiao vs. Shane Mosley fight this weekend.
