btw how big is boxing over in the Philippines, did it just get big cos of Manny or was it always a big sport over there
Google the past Filipino boxers and Filipino champions. Thrilla in Manila didn't just happen for no reason. Many other sports are pretty popular as well. Basketball is no.1, MMA is hot right now, soccer is also recognized, billiards(that goes without saying), as a matter of fact, some of the top pool players are from the PI, and these are just to name a few.
I've always been a fan of Floyd, i was a fan of Floyd even before Manny. And i am still a fan of Floyd in regards to his skills. But as a person, i liked him more when he was humble and normal, now he's just a cocky a$$hole.
