“There is bad news all the time in my country. There is not enough food. We have typhoons. There is corruption in the government and too much crime. So many people are suffering and have no hope. Then, I bring them good news and they are happy. I know that millions of people are praying for me and that gives me strength. My fight is not only for me, but for my country.”
This is another example why so many boxing fans love Manny Pacquiao. His humbleness and God fearing ways have endeared him to fans all over the world. IN the summer of 2010, Manny Pacquiao became a congressman because of his love for his countrymen and his desire to help those in need. It was a way for Manny to give back to the people that have supported him so much.
When Pacquiao fights, his entire country shuts down to watch him. And when he wins, the entire country celebrates as if they won too. It's an incredible relationship between Manny and his countrymen. A relationship that Floyd Jr. even commented on a few weeks ago when Floyd stated that he likes how Manny's fans will love him no matter what.
Pacquiao will once again cause his country to shut down in November as he fights his rival Juan Manuel Marquez for the 3rd time. The fight will be live from the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas Nevada, on November 12th. The first two fights between JMM and Manny ended in controversy. The 2004 fight ended in a draw but many critics believe that Manny had won. The second fight ended in a split decision but many believe that JMM won. Freddie Roach and other members of Team Pacquiao are rooting for Manny to KO JMM and end this feud once and for all.
