Pacquiao vs Clottey Live in Marriott Hotel Manila

Brace yourself for another exhilarating boxing match from the undisputed “pound-for-pound best fighter in the world”, Manny Pacquiao! After scoring a TKO over Miguel Cotto last November, the man dubbed “Pacman” was on the hunt for his next big fight. Emerging from the contenders was a hard-hitting welterweight originally from Ghana, Joshua Clottey.

This coming March 14, Sunday, Pacquiao is stepping into the ring again and ready to clash with the former IBF titlist Clottey. As our very own Pacman takes on the powerful fighter known as “The Hitter” inside the cavernous Dallas Cowboys’ Stadium, Marriott Hotel Manila will bring you all the action from the opening bell onward.

Like Pacman’s powerful left and right jabs, Marriott Manila offers two impressive venues on where you can watch “The Event: Pacquiao vs Clottey”: the modern Velocity Sports and Entertainment Bar, or the Grand Ballroom.

For only Php1000, Velocity will treat you to a Champion’s Set Breakfast plus two ice-cold San Miguel beers. Velocity Bar’s casual, cool and contemporary décor is anchored by a multiple large flat screens and state-of-the-art audio systems.  Accommodating up to 200 people, each spot in the place is a prime seat to catch the action; Velocity lets you choose whether to sit at the bar, in booth seats, in a lounge area, or even a screened-off area that mimics a theater experience.

On the other hand, the hotel’s Grand Ballroom telecasts the action via a large projector screen, making you feel like you’re in the Cowboys’ Stadium yourself. For Php1500, you get a Filipino brunch buffet with free-flowing iced tea, chilled juices, coffee and tea.

With all eyes fixed on the massive Cowboys Stadium in Dallas, Texas, “The Event” promises to be a fight like no other. Don’t fail to watch this exciting event! Call 988 9999  and reserve your tickets now.

Housed on the ground floor of the sprawling Marriott Hotel Manila across NAIA Terminal 3, Velocity Bar and the Grand Ballroom are a quick 15-minute drive from the Makati business district and merely 15 minutes from Bonifacio Global City Taguig.

For more information and reservations, call the hotel directly at 988 9999 or visit www.marriott.com/mnlap
