  • Manny "Pacman" Pacquiao won the boxing match against Oscar Larios of Mexico via unanimous decision on the 12th and final round to retain the WBC International Super Featherweight Title on Sunday, July 2nd 2006. It was Manny Pacquiao's most recent boxing match in the Philippines which took place at the Araneta Coliseum.
  • Venue for the 1975 'Triller in Manila' were Ali and Frazier nearly punched each others lights out.
  • @kingrex Thanx for your concern, you're right this is not taken inside araneta coliseum, b'coz the venue is square or rectangle in the pic. Contrary to the coliseum which is round what ever angle you shoot you camera. Besides, it is not acceptable to post pic with a lot of people in it and about religious activities. So I delete it. To all the user who post pic here in WM, Please! avoid posting pic which is not relevant to the tagged place, you may be banned by other UL2 if you continue doing it. Please! be cooperative, Thanks to all.
  • i think this place is too small than SM Arena
