Mitt Romney may have jinxed Manny Pacquiao

12/9/2012

The one nice thing about losing the presidential election is that you have a lot more free time. Ex-GOP candidate Mitt Romney's leisure activity of choice on Saturday night was attending the Pacquiao-Marquez fight, and even paying a visit to aspiring Phillipino politician Pacquiao before the bout. According to Pacquiao's publicist, Romney introduced himself by saying, "Hello Manny. I ran for president. I lost." After that, a sad trombone probably played and a tiny rainstorm formed over Mitt's head. Unfortunately for Pacquiao, the Romnegativity seemed to carry over into the fight, as Marquez bested Manny with a decisive 6th-round knockout. [Source]
