?Kid , take me to your favorite Chinese restaurant. I don?t care if the food is lousy as long as it is pricey.?---the great Filipino humorist ?Ka Doroy? Teodoro Valencia once said. (Tagalog: ?Bata, Dalhin mo ako sa paborito mong restawran. Kahit hindi masarap. Basta mahal.?
Tonight, Manny Pacquiao defends his world welterweight championship in Macao, China.
The odds against opponent Chris Algieri seem insurmountable (9:1 at press time).
Mismatch?
It matters not?..as long as the pay-per-view tab is expensive.
