It was still a little exciting, though,” said Loy Kaloso, who works for a bank in Pasig City.
He wasn't among those who walked out but Kaloso admitted the fight was not the most exciting one.
“(Joshua Clottey) did not put up a fight. He was playing it safe,” he said, adding that Pacquiao's fight against Miguel Cotto in November was more thrilling.
Only a smattering of applause greeted the announcement that Pacquiao had won by unanimous decision over Clottey although some cheers rang out as Pacquiao was seen celebrating his victory.
