We have a shift during Sunday and I noticed a lot of guys running back and forth from our work station to pantry to watch the Pacquiao and Marquez Fight. Some of the agents are putting their customers on hold just to watch the fight.
I do not know what is going on but based from the news that I can hear, it is like I am so updated with every punches and fall.
What do you think about the their fight? Do you think this 4th match is already too much? Please share your thoughts.

I don't know anything about these fights, so I don't know if it is a mtter of taking things too far or anything like that.
What I can say, however, is that I think putting customers on hold so that you can watch any sporting event is really something that is taking things much too far. I believe that when you are at work and dealing with customers, you should concentrate on your work as opposed to paying attention to some sports that are on the television.

Hi dorannmwin! I agree that when you are dealing with a customer, you should prioritize them first. This specially applies if they are calling due to a very important reason. Most of my colleagues are actually leaving their work stations and are going to the pantry area to watch the fight. I do not take calls so I do not need to put anyone on hold just to watch the fight. I am not a Boxing fan but I really like it when Manny has a Boxing battle.

Hi AmbiePam! I want Manny to win but I expected that he will lose. Marquez is really good and based from their last battle. I can see that Marquez is really leading. It is just so sad that he lost and I am sure, a lot of Filipinos are sad as well due to this.

Both of them made so much money, more than any of us can earn working hard for years

Hi louievill! I definitely agree with you. They are so freaking rich specially Manny Pacquiao. But in fairness to Manny, he always see to it that he will share his blessings to his kababayan and other people. I admire him as he openly discuss his faith to the public. I hope Manny will become an inspiration to millions of people world wide.

Are you also putting your customer on hold just to post in myLot? 
Sometimes I would like to, but I haven't tried it yet. Well, Pacman was knocked out. I didn't continue watching the fight when I learned from my friend that Pacman was knocked out in the 6th round. I turned off my computer. I felt so sad.

Hi wittynet! I have colleagues who are putting their customers on hold during the fight. I am not one of them as I am not taking calls. I am in charge with emails so basically I do not talk to customers via Phone. I think it is better to put the customer on hold than to talk to them while your mind is thinking about the Boxing fight.

I believe its time for him to leave his boxing career and focus his attention in being a congressman of Sarangani province.

Hi voracious! Sports and Politics are very diffcult to balance. I agree with you but I think Manny should choose which one to prioritize. I still prefer for him to choose the Boxing career over Politics. He is far better in Boxing than in Politics. He can still help tons of people without being a Congressman.

I think Pacman should retire before i heard a lot of bad comment from the people because of his defeat.
So now what i think he should prepare for another fight to Marquez to prove the people that they are wrong throwing shame against Pacquiao...

Hi Gracia2010! I think Manny will not retire specially if his last fight was a defeat from Marquez. Manny is a fighter and he will train really hard for the next battle. I am sure there are a lot of people saying bad stuffs about Manny. Well we can not please every one but Manny really did a good job.

It was a sad thing that Manny lost this fight. Anyway according to him, it's part of the game. I knew he did his best during the fight.

Hi ARIES1973! To accept his defeat, that makes Manny a real hero. He loves boxing and he is aware that losing is part of it. I was also sad when I heard that he fall during the fight. But I know Manny did his best for the country.

This is not the last fight! Says Pacman. He will do the best training next time. Marquez and Pacquiao earned a lot of Money through their fights. It is possible enough that there will be a Marquez-Pacquiao 5.

Hi nykalex88! Marquez is a very strong opponent and he respect Manny as well. I believe that Manny will train very hard this time. I think Manny should concentrate on his boxing career more than politics. Yes, there is a big chance of another fight between the two after six months.
