The Clash in Cotai: Pacquiao Vs. Rios
While several hours worth of fighting took place before the main event, things really got started when the Pay-per-view cameras began rolling. The arena turned pitch black and the screens dotted all over the venue lit up with clips of the most iconic boxing matches that have gone down in history. American Idol alum, and “Glee” guest star, Jessica Sanchez also took the stage to sing the American and Filipino national anthem. An interview was then played between Rios and Pacquiao, whereby Rios confidently declared that he was going to “retire” Pacquiao with this fight.
