Two Big Wins last Saturday Night

The Celtics win against the Bulls, and Manny Pacquiao's win against Ricky Hatton, a little bit more connected than most people know.

Saturday was the biggest sports night of the year for me by far. What with seeing the final chapter of best seven game series of the decade and My favorite Boxer Manny Pacquiao meeting Ricky Hatton (who is a favorite of my as well, but I had to root against him for the first time).

A lot of Celtics fans could be Hatton fans, if this is the case, this post is not meant to offend them. I am also not campaigning for people to replace Mickey Ward's place in our hearts.

I just wanted to point out a connection that not all Celtics fans might know.

The Number 1 pound for pound boxer in the world is a huge Celtics fan.

The guy actually had the whole team as guests to his fight last year and was like a kid in a candy store when the guys visit his locker room.

I am sure Manny and the Celtics were super focused for their respective events. But I am pretty certain that there was an extra smile in their faces upon learning the results of each others matches.
