LAS VEGAS -- Defeated presidential candidate Mitt Romney was a guest ringside Saturday night at the fourth fight between Manny Pacquiao and Juan Manuel Marquez.

Romney also visited with Pacquiao in his dressing room before the fight, wishing him well in the bout.
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/12/08/romney-pacquiao_n_2265358.html
"Hello Manny. I ran for president. I lost," Romney told the fighter, according to Pacquiao publicist Fred Sternburg.

Pacquiao is a congressman in the Philippines, and has said previously he might run one day for the president of his country.

Romney and his wife, Ann, were guests of Nevada State Athletic Commission chairman Bill Brady at the fight at the MGM Grand hotel arena. Brady hosted a fundraiser for Romney during the presidential campaign.

The Romneys arrived during the undercard, drawing little reaction from the crowd.

I doubt Pacquiao will even remember meeting Romney after that punch.

Are Mormans allowed to partake in bloodsports?

Rather amusing. Allowed to do stuff like that but can't have a cup of coffee.

Required, if they want to wash their sins away (and those sins are bad enough).

Because this thread is stupid and there was no point in posting it. The Huffington Post is basically a liberal version of the Drudge Report and posts incredibly pointless news articles; you don't need to post one of their filler stories here. Nobody cares that the Romneys went to a boxing match. It's completely irrelevant and pointless. There's no reason to put it here, and thus there's no reason to read it, and since there's no reason to read it, you get put on ignore so I don't have to.

A month out from the election and the media is still keeping us updated on where the Romneys are and what they're doing. But this latest outing suggests Mitt might be starting to let himself go. I mean, a Harvard-educated multimillionaire and his equestrian wife...going to a boxing match...in Las Vegas?? Mitt might as well start wearing flat-brimmed ball caps and put a TAPOUT sticker on the back of his car.

It's spelled "Mormon", but yeah, we can. We even have our own; it's called Churchball. Basically, imagine a basketball game started with a prayer, but which devolves into a half-brawl, half-game every single time. It's pretty brutal, especially when you realize that many Utah Mormon congregations have Polynesian families that love sports. Imagine getting crashed into by a Tongan guy who is over 300 pounds of solid, mostly muscle. If you're playing the game right, something will usually be broken by the end.

Well, after all, these rich people are all very public criminals, so its a bit much for them to expect to just be left alone after all they've done to everybody else.

Whether you get worshiped or jeered at, you've got to expect some feed-back after you utterly dominate the lives of the little people beneath you.

"Hello Manny. I ran for president. I lost."

Mitt went into Manny's locker room to introduce himself and said this.

President Pacquiao would be pretty cool, regardless of his political views (which I believe are to the left in his country). I'm not a boxing man or anything, but I have seen the commercials.

It's sad that this was even a news story.
