Something I've always wondered:
The country's name is The Phillippines, but when you speak of someone of that nationality, they're a Filipino. Anybody know what the deal is with the spelling change?

Me and my friends were just laughing at how much Batista pretty much towered over the rest of Pacquiao's entourage. Haha Lol yeah apparently Filipino's are short yet Batista is like 6'6

I have no idea, despite the fact that I live there. It can also be pronounced as Pilipino or Pilipinas, though.

Yeah, Dave wasn't exactly hard to miss! Too bad about Hatton not showing up though.

Well in the Filipino vocabulary it is Pilipino, no F's, so you can say Filipino is like an international way of saying it. And as a Filipino, a shout out to Manny Pacquiao for the fight.

^^ lol yes. And is Batista trying to make people ike him less and cheer for Hatton more? Dave accompanying the Hitman's opponent is hardly the best way to become popular, at least in the UK. That said, if the bout features Batista doing a run in as Pacquiao is knocked out, Batista Bombing Hatton, then dragging Pacquiao on top for an inexplicable 3 count, I will change my mind on Batista. Or you know support his fellow Filipino. I don't get the Big Dave hate, the audience never boos him, and well he's got an even Bigger following in the Phillipines than he does in thE UK. Yeah Batista's treated like a God everytime he's in the P.I. I know why Batista supported Pacquiao (and as I said I support Hatton et al for the same reason) , I'm just saying it won't make him very popular amongst the UK fans. That won't bother him I'm sure but I was just making an observation. I understand that but still....Going against Hatton is a no-no in my book. Same with Khan and Audley Harrison. Amir Khan sucks, can't wait to see his weak ass chin get KTFO again. Calzaghe and Froch are the only uk boxers I respect. Khan did awful against Prescott but I still think he's a decent boxer. And i;'m of the opinion you shouldf always respect and cheer for your home nation boxer. I like Hatton, I like Audley, I like David Haye. The fans during Harrison fight on the Khan/Prescott undercard really pissed me off. UK crowd viciously booing the patriotic British boxer against his opponent. Not good. And Hatton got mauled by Pacquiao. Shame, I love Ricky, but I think that's it for him. He lost to Mayweather, lost convincingly to Manny, he's not going to get a rematch and has nowhere to go now. Shame as I love Hatton but...i don't know where he goes from here.

Hatton joins WWE, turns heel and attacks Batista blaming him for his loss?

WWE.com has pics up of the fight, but only has them with Batista's back turned to the camera. Guess they couldn't get good seats.
