Clippers & Spurs was an exciting game. I despise that 2 faced Doc Rivers, so I guess I'll have to pull for the Rockets in that series only.

Morning, Doc ..

Amazing that thing generated $500 million .. It really took advantage of today's "look at me!", follow the leader generation .. Bars were packed with people in Affliction shirts that know nothing about boxing and never even saw Tyson fight in his prime .. All the majority know now is UFC and this fight did nothing to change that ..

you forgot "TapOut" tshirts... Boxing to me died after the "Tyson, Buster Douglas, Sugar Ray Leonard, Lennix, Holyfield" Era.

My Filipino coworkers all seemed pretty sad from their fb posts about the fight. They def are major boxing fans.

Pacquaio is like a god to them. None of them working last night; they request off work for all of his fights
