Estrada to watch Pacquiao fight

-

It won't be a walk in the park for steel-fisted Filipino Manny Pacquiao when he stakes his World Boxing Council (WBC) International superbantamweight crown against Filipino-Australian banger Arnel Barotillo with President Estrada at ringside on March 4 at the Ninoy Aquino Stadium.

President Estrada has accepted the invitation of broadcaster Jay Sonza, who is teaming up with seasoned promoter Bebot Elorde with Pagcor-Casino Filipino as main presentor in the megacard dubbed "Tapatan: Walang Atrasan."

"If Pacquiao is thinking that his mere presence alone will scare away Barotillo, then he is terribly mistaken," said Elorde, who has sent the plane tickets of Team Barotillo Thursday.

Elorde stressed that the Sydney-based Barotillo is no pushover and "if Pacquiao takes Barotillo lightly, he will end up flat on his back."
