Nations collide: Manny Pacquiao v Miguel Cotto is Puerto Rico v The Philippines

By Gareth Davies, Telegraph.co.uk

Manny Pacquiao against Miguel Cotto is a sporting war between two countries. No question. Both prize fighters have major profile in their respective homelands.

As the fight at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas on Nov 14 gets nearer, expect that national rivalry to become more acute. Cotto’s head trainer Joe Santiago believes both men are clearly fighting for their countries, as well as themselves.

“For the island of Puerto Rico it is huge. Everybody knows what Pacquiao has done and we know what Miguel is capable of doing. It would not only be huge for me and Miguel, but for everybody in Puerto Rico. It would be a huge win especially with what Pacquiao has done in his last few fights.” READ MORE
