Sadly we don’t have a chance to watch basketball. It will be a chance of a lifetime for others who really wanted to see how their NBA star playing basketball. Not just be in the country for some tour wearing parish clothing or advertisement endorsement. Although it is been a dream come true to our very own PBA players as well as to our Philippines team basketball players to play with their idols in NBA in a basketball game.

World Cup, a major sports event that has also been called the Football World Cup has just taken place. The Soccer World Cup that only happens every four years is currently won this year by Spain. An estimated 715.1 million and hundreds of thousands visit South Africa just to see the games live. I am sure personalized footballs are among the widely bought items for souvenirs. This cup event is mostly won by Brazil and Italy.
I usually get up from bed 9-10 am since I usually work late at night since it is still my son’s Kyle vacation from school. But today I woke up early because I know today is the first game of 2010 NBA finals between the Lakers and Boston Celtics. I am excited to see the game because this will be the rematch of the team after 2008. These two teams won most of the NBA finals trophy where 15 are by Lakers and 17 by Boston. That’s why I can let the day pass without watching it. It is like I took phentermine because I am suppressing my appetite first then I will eat later after the game.
According to some reports and writings the number one pound for pound boxer of the world Manny Paquiao already owned eight houses and the latest of it was in the United States. The cost of Manny Pacquiao’s new house is estimated at almost two million US dollars with designer and luxury furniture. He deserves all this because we know how hard he works in the ring and not just that, he also shared his blessings to his team.Sometimes we tell ourselves that it is better that we pursue a career in boxing and have a lots of beautiful houses like those in Wilmington NC real estate but as we all know not all boxers are blessed. Some ended with nothing, some died in the ring. I know someone before who has a famous name in boxing and ended up a shoe polish boy. Better to take care of what blessings we have right now because we do not know the future holds.
December 6, 2008 will be another judgment day on who will win the Manny “Pacman” Paquiao with the fight records of (47-3-2, 35 KOs) and Oscar Golden Boy Dela Hoya with (39-5, 30 KOs) in a 147-pound weight limit and 8-ounce gloves boxing match. Question still remains on how much Manny Paquiao will earn in this fight because he sacrifices a lot of things in this fight. His WBO world title belt and fined thousands of dollars for this fight are at stake. As we all know Dela Hoya is a much bigger fighter than Paquiao but who cares? As long as Paquiao will lose in this fight he could have the money that he could have for a life time.
The fight is expected revenue to exceed more than US$100 and with the 60-40 fight agreement. Where will Dela Hoya get the 60% while Paquiao 40%? In this fight Pacquiao is estimated to earn more than 40million USD the biggest earning he will get in his entire career fight.
can retire after this fight, I think. He has all the money unless he has plan to run again in politics. He will surely lose all this.
Olympic fever is still on the run. Every country is now giving recognitions to their respected Olympians who brought them gold.I was able to see three final in equestrians when Anky van Grunsven of The Netherlands won her third straight gold medal in Olympic equestrian individual dressage.
Her famous horse Salinero brought her a score of 82.4 percent in the Grand Prix Freestyle. This Salinero was also her partner in 2004 in Athens where she also bagged gold medal.
For now I just love to see horses with their english saddles on their back. wishing that I could able to ride in a horse, too.
I can’t deny the fact that I am a sports fanatic. Just as my whole family is a sports fanatics as well. For me, games like basketball, boxing and tennis among others are my favorites to watch. But to watch the game live is something different from watching it on TV. You can’t explain the feeling of being there where the action is as it happens.I am sure that’s the feeling also of those people who prefer to watch certain sports live. You will really feel the heat, the adrenaline and the unexplainable delight upon hearing the cheering of people for your favorite players on the act. People sometimes spend a lot just to watch near the ring or the court. Others even travel just to be able to see the game live.
Luckily, there is the Worldwide Sports Travel now that offers service to those sports fanatics who want to watch their favorite sports live in

Long-time Miami Heat assistant coach Erik Spoelstra, 37, will take over to become the youngest head coach in the National basketball League NBA. Pat Riley stepped down as head coach of the Miami Heat on Monday after a league-worst 15-67 season. Fil American Spoesltra was born on Nov. 1, 1970. He is the son of Jon Spoelstra, a long-time NBA executive who helped run the Portland Trail Blazers, Denver Nuggets and New Jersey Nets.
Spoelstra becomes the NBA's youngest coach, 69 days younger that Nets coach Lawrence Frank. Jon Spoelstra spent a career as a marketing executive with the Trail Blazers, Nuggets and Nets, his expertise so valued that in 1983, with the Trail Blazers in need of an injury replacement at point guard, the Pacers traded veteran Don Buse to Portland in exchange for a week of Jon's consulting. Added by the Heat as a video coordinator before Riley's September 1995 arrival, Spoelstra nearly was forced out when Riley attempted to hire one of his former Knicks employees for the position.
A former prep star who once took 32,000 shots during summer break in high school and later was a teammate of Heat center Alonzo Mourning at the Nike All-America Camp.
A career at the University of Portland led to tryouts with the Trail Blazers and Nets, but the pro aspiration for the shooting guard led no higher than a two-year hitch in Germany's second division in the industrial town of Herten. Spoelstra spent two years as a player-coach for Tus Herten in the German professional league following his spell at the University of Portland.
That's when he was contacted by current Memphis General Manager Chris Wallace, who had been handling scouting for the Heat prior to Riley's arrival.In May 1995, Erik Spoelstra was in with the Heat.
Manny Paquiao suffered two nasty superficial cuts on the right eyelid that required 10 stitches and a doctor’s permission before fighting Diaz on June. But the business with Marquez was over. Pacquiao is guaranteed big money whenever and wherever he fights. Win or lose the fight with Marquez is estimated at about $2.45 million on pay per view income alone, and sure it is certainly more than the $4 million earnings he received from his last fight with Barrera.And now Golden Boy Promotions has offered Manny Pacquiao $6 million for him to face Juan Manuel Marquez a third and last time. The offer was made by Golden Boy CEO Richard Schaefer during the post-fight press conference that got a little out of control due to the building controversy following Pacquiao’s close win.
Money for Manny, means business continued J
