THIS weekend is being called by sports experts in America as the world’s “Sports Armageddon.”
Morning in the United States will see the NFL Draft (The NFL or the National Football League is about American Football—huge guys in protective padding, fighting over a gigantic scale model of a piece of Serg’s chocolate).
Then, there is the possibility of an NBA (we all know what this is) Game 7 playoff game scheduled during that day. Also, there’s a chance the second round of the NHL (National Hockey League, a game played on ice) playoffs start on the same day. Baseball games are also set as the Philadelphia Phillies play the Miami Marlins, and the Boston Red Sox play the New York Yankees. And then like that’s not enough, there’s the Kentucky Derby. But the big betting doesn’t stop with the horses. Culminating a single day’s sports hoopla is finally, the biggest sports event of the year: Mayweather vs. Pacquiao.
Sports Armageddon, they say? I think it makes a lot of sense.
I don’t know about you, but this recent Ariel TV ad with a catchy tune seems more than just your regular advertisement. How one can turn a soap ad into a karaoke hit is beyond me. It’s almost divine, apocalyptic. There’s something very fishy about the track being released, just before the big Mayweather vs. Pacquiao fight this weekend.
I smell, or rather, hear, a universal omen. The signs are glaring, and the Ariel ad carries a prophetic tune announcing the winner ahead of time.
Let me explain.
First off, the lyric repeats the price, “7.50.”
Seven plus five equals 12. That translates to 12 rounds of boxing.
Seven is mentioned first, because it means that Pacquiao and Mayweather will go at it for the first 21 minutes of boxing action. But the last five rounds, like how soap eliminates stain, our National Fist, Pacman, will send his American foe to the ropes for some good old-fashioned banlaw (rinsing).
But there is a point and a zero to account for. The zero at the end means that there will be no knockout for Pacquiao.
But Ariel is a brand from the United Kingdom, you say? Well, the ad featured a price point in pesos, so that should be enough to root for the Filipino boxer.
That said, I see Pacman winning via unanimous decision. But remember the point between the numbers? Manny will throw a huge punch in the seventh round that will be a punctuation point of a wallop turning the fight around in his favor. Mayweather will not be able to withstand a relentless Pacquiao out for the kill.
Also, the brand Ariel happens to start with an A. The A is formed like a triangle. And a triangle is how a surface of a pyramid looks like, and the pyramid is most often, associated with the Illuminati.
There you have it. My prediction. Nostradamus style.
It all makes perfect sense. So I’ll bet my P7.50 on Manny. Any takers?
But what if Mayweather wins? I guess Finally by Ariel was just a pretty darn good jingle.
