HAD the fight between Manny Pacquiao and Juan Manuel Marquez for the International Boxing Federation and World Boxing Association feather-weight titles on May 9 not gone beyond the first round, Solar Entertainment executives would have collectively lost their shirts.
?That was why my heart went to my throat when I saw Marquez being knocked down three times in the opening round,? said Peter Chanliong, Solar Entertainment Chief Operation Officer, who was at the press briefing of Rod Nazario, Pacquiao?s business manager, at the Emerald Garden Restaurant in Ermita, Manila on Friday.
