why PacMan won

Some called it foolishness.  Others said it was a sham, a circus.  Still, many called it a mismatch.  It was a mismatch indeed.  Just the other way around though.  Many so-called experts were dumbfounded.  How can this be?  Unknown to most, there was something going on 'behind the scene' before the fight that determined its outcome :

GOD :  What is this I heard about one big fight on earth?  Who's fighting?

Angel :  It's between Manny Pacquiao and Oscar dela Hoya!  And its about to start! 

GOD :  Ow! Manny!  I know him.  He talks to Me every now and then.  In fact he's praying to me again, asking for help on his fight.

Angel :  Then there's Oscar dela Hoya.

GOD :  Who's Oscar?

Angel :  The Pretty Boy.  Cute.  Many of us lady angels here has a crush on him!

GOD :  Never heard of him.  He never talked to me.  Never called My Name.

Angel :  He did Your Honor, on several occasions!

God :  Ya?  When?  I don't remember.  You have a record of those?

Angel :  Let me see, ... it says in our logbook,  every time he sees a beautiful and sexy woman he says, Oh my god!

GOD :   Sorry, can't remember.  So tell me, who's favored to win?

Angel :  Oscar of course!  2-1!

GOD :  Really now!  Says who?

Angel :  Almost everybody.  The experts, the sports buffs, gamblers, you name it... except of course the Filipinos. 

GOD :  Ows?  But I see it differently.  I see the opposite.  In fact, instead of 2-1, I see it 8-0!  In favor of the little guy, Manny.  Reminds me a lot about my boy David before.  He too kept on praying.  He too had a giant to kill.

After a while:

Angel:  You are right again, as always, Lord, Your boy won!

GOD :  He deserves it.  And look now, before anything else, he's thanking Me for the big win!  How can I say no to him then?  And the fact that I get free advertisement every time he thanks me on worldwide television!   He's doing it more effectively than a thousand priests or pastors!   Hmmmm, I sure can use him more….
