Last week, HBO (Home Box Office) Sports sent a TV crew here to shoot footage of world featherweight boxing champion Manny Pacquiao. The idea was to show how Pacquiao is loved in his home country.
The footage will be aired to promote Pacquiao?s fight against International Boxing Federation and World Boxing Association featherweight titlist Juan Manuel Marquez of Mexico on May 8 in Las Vegas.
HBO Sports TV producer Brook Silva-Braga flew in from New York City. He contracted a crew from Virgin Earth Inc., a production outfit based in Tokyo, to execute the filming. Shinichi Yasuda was the cameraman and Hans Jensen, the sound man.
