Name some fights that were attended by the President of the country

Luisito Espinosa's title defense against Cesar Soto was witnessed by then Philippine president Fidel Ramos sitting alongside Jose Sulaiman in an elevated location.

 

President of the Phillipines went to Pacquiao's fight vs DLH

 

I believe McCain and Dana White are connected through boxing as well

 

I know I've read many times that McCain believes MMA should be illegal, so I don't know how close their connection really is...

 

Rocky Drago

 

The premier of the Soviet Union was there for the Balboa-Drago fight.

 

Romney attended a recent fight...not quite president but hey! I think it was Pacquiao-Marquez.

 

P.W Botha saw the Coetzee vs Tate fight in South Africa. And left the arena when Tate won the decision.

 

Juan Peron attended an Archie Moore fight in Argentina (Atleast one). I believe the two became friends, and Peron even asked Archie to settle down in Argentina, offering him land as far as the eye could see. The offer was obviously turned down by Archie, but he said he was tempted and was treated incredibly well by the people in Argentina, even better than he was treated (by some) in the States.

 

There had been talk of Obama going to Khan vs Peterson but didnt.

I think the Irish President may have been at Macklin vs Martinez.
