My friend James mentioned it would be cool to go to LA and stalk Manny Pacquiao. That was all the convincing I needed so we headed down there. Ok, so we really didn't stalk Manny but we did hang out around his gym to try and snag some autographs.
We got to the Wildcard Boxing Club where he trains and it was a mad house. It happened to be media day for his next fight and there were crews there from HBO, 60 Minutes, and whatever the big TV station in the Philippines is.
We were just about the only people there to get his autograph due to James's shrewd negotiating skills. We didn't actually meet Manny but we met his brother and his hair dresser. We also ate at his favorite Thai restaurant, which is now my favorite Thai restaurant.
