OK, nobody cares.

Anyway, it's just an empty podium right now. Lots of media types milling around.

 

Starting, if anyone cares to hear from Pavlik, Arce, Vazquez etc.

 

Arum says that Pacquiao will be at ESPN2 FNF (also in Las Vegas) after weighing in tomorrow, to support Bernabe Concepcion who he promotes.

 

Diego Magdaleno is on the mic, saying he is humbled at the opportunity to be in the co-main event on FNF tomorrow and that he is excited to have his brother (fellow undefeated prospect Jesse Magdaleno) on the card with him.

Nice kid, seems really nervous speaking publicly.

 

WBO President Paco Valcarcel is talking up Pacquiao-Mosley. He calls Pacquiao the best fighter of all time and Mosley the best challenger out there for him.

He says he is especially thrilled about the Mexican-Puerto Rican rivalry being renewed by WV2 and Arce. He calls Jorge something in Spanish that I don't understand and laughs; not his usual nickname "Travieso"...

"Maroero"? :huh

 

Arum introduces 2-0 (2) flyweight Jonathan Gonzalez as one of Puerto Rico's best fighters right now.

Gonzalez thanks the PR and American media and says to watch out for a new boricua star to be born.

 

French Canadian lightweight Pier Cote speaks through a translator.

Pretty routine stuff, giving thanks and honored to fight on the Pacquiao-Mosley card.

 

Jose Benavidez thanks Arum for the opportunity, short and sweet.

 

Arum reiterates everyone that the ENTIRE card can be seen with the non-televised undercard streaming live on Top Rank's website.

He introduces the televised portion of the PPV (4 fights) starting with Ray Narh.

Narh is the first person so far to give a shout out to his God. He says he's here to TCOB and doesn't want to lose because he doesn't want to be stuck fighting bums. He says Alvarado brings a lot to the table and that is what he likes because being matched tough brings the best out of him. He is sure his hands will be raised in the end.

 

Narh's manager/trainer (not sure) says it's a great matchup and starts to make an analogy:

"It's like when two elephants..."

- and the stream cuts out, and is replaced by a loop of the thirty-second TV spot advertising the PPV. :roll:

I really wanted to hear the end of that sentence.
