Comments Thread For: Photos: Pacquiao Given a Hero's Welcome in Manila

Pacman has earned the boxing lessons that he might have earned by fighting Floyd - undertrain, overconfidence, carelessness, overaggressive, etc. We can expect a much better Pac next fight.

Jinkee is pretty but she wears too much makeup.

PACMAN pls retire!

Jinkee is pretty but she wears too much makeup.

I respectfully disagree...I think she's average at best. Though her makeup does make her look MJ style.... its appalling.

Who's that mofo behind Manny in pics #3 and #4? He was giving invisible handjobs while Michael Buffer was announcing. Seriously. Watch the footage again. Invisible handjobs to his face.

Damn, is Jinkee still white over the KO? DDDDAAAAMMMMNNNNNN!!!!!!

Hahahaha

I noticed that too.......I was like "what's the f**k is up with that?" Looks like he's warming up for a big facial

[flint]

Why is jinkee wearing his glasses?

[Hougigo]

Probably should have gotten crowd pics so we can see the hero's welcome.... oh well

Philippine boxing icon Manny Pacquiao speaks to supporters upon his arrival at Manila's international airport on his return from the United States after his knockout loss to Mexican rival Juan Manuel Marquez in a non-title bout in Las Vegas last Saturday night at the MGM Grand. Despite facing calls from family members to retire, Pacquiao promise to continue fighting. Pacquiao was welcomed as a hero by supporters.

I like Pacquaio more now after his loss then before. If Pacquiao can be successful in his return people will love him even more. He's always been a class act.

Well deserved. He put it all on the line like a true warrior. Nothing but respect.

Definitely.

Contrary to what some are saying, his brutal loss absolutely does not affect his legacy, on the contrary, it's all part of it. A fighter has to own his entire career and not just the parts where he looked good. But when Manny looked good he gained a loyal following, that's good for Manny, and that's good for boxing. He received the welcome a champion should receive when he's respected regardless of whether he has a belt or not, or if he lost.

What Manny Pacquiao has done is not just transcend boxing but sports in some sense. Boxing is a tough sport so he didn't get the monetary compensation he deserved but what he did get was worldwide acclaim and an almost lock on a great political future in his country. Not bad for a guy who came from nothing.

Its in defeat we see the truth, its in defeat we can look at a situation with different eyes. The two highest paid athletes are boxers, wow, just wow....

Great posts, man.

A true boxing warrior and a legend for the sport. Regardless of his next move.
