This post is directed generally to our friends living in the Phillipines but not specifically:
I was watching 60 minutes on Sunday and they did a short peice on the "Pac man" and his stature, not only in boxing but in the political arena as well. According to CBS, Manny is nothing short of a national hero. He has been elected the the house of representatives, a congressman if you will.
When Manny is in the ring defending one of his 8 tittles they say (60 minutes) the entire country stops, even the crime, everything comes to a standstill while the enire population watches thier country's finest boxer skillfully perform his craft. Manny was portrayed as a man who loves his country very much and is going to do his best to make it a better place. There were hints of politcal aspirations as high as president.
He will be challenged in our country, in Dallas at the new stadium, a huge forum, Saturday by Antonio Margarito a much taller opponent. I may be watching the future presidient of the Philipines boxing highlights on Sunday morning. Having watched him fight several times and being somewhat familiar with his opponent, I'm thinking the fight will go the distance and I'm looking forward to it. Both boxers are 31-32 years old and are fighting for the super welter weight title 147#-154#
I wondering if our members living in the Phillipines can enlighten me to just how popular Many Pacuiao is and if they will be watching and what thier predictions are.
Go Pac Man:thumbsup:
