Thousands gather for live feed of Pacquiao-Cotto fight

MANILA, Philippines – Thousands of Metro Manila residents gathered in their cities' auditoriums to watch the live feed of the "Firepower" match between Filipino champ Manny Pacquiao and Miguel Cotto.

Around 5,000 residents of Pateros trooped to the Pateros Coliseum for the via-satellite showing of the fight that would spell history in case of a Pacquiao victory.

A large screen projector was installed on the second floor where about 4,000 people have been seated, while six 42-inch LCD TVs were put up on the ground floor for 1,000 more viewers.

Mayor Joey Medina said this was the sixth time they were showing Pacquiao's bout for free to Pateros residents.

Satellite feeds of Pacquiao's bid to set a record by winning his seventh title in a different weight division are also being provided to other Metro Manila residents in other cities for free.
