The Pacquiao Effect: What Philippines looks like when He Fights

That is pretty amazing stuff. The man is like a holiday for a whole country.

I'd believe Pac can clear the streets in the same way a world cup final can in Germany but how do we know those pics weren't just taken early in the morning? At 0:30 you can even see a batch of cars up the far end of the road? Is it even daytime there when Pac is fighting in Vegas? We had a similar thing when Katie Taylor was fighting in the Olympics. Was pretty cool for a boxing fan to see, but at this stage even Taylor admits the AIBA blew it after.

I've seen a few of those time lapse videos and they are really cool.

This is how he did it. Basically took multiple photos of the same scene and used the empty road space to edit out the cars. I like the sentiment behind the video despite using some creative liberties though. http://24.media.tumblr.com/43522224b4f4645abbcaaae61c60cf76/tumblr_mj2lz7Nb6B1rlmtk4o1_250.gif

Wow Amazing!! It makes me remember the effect Julio Cesar Chavez Sr. had in Mexico, really similar

Im a mexican, born and raised, now living in the US. I can tell you this... all mexicans, my family friends, coworkers, everyone I know that is mexican loves MP and how he fights... Even though he was the "mexicutioner" it was always war and we all respect him in and out of the ring. And if he cheated, who gives a ****, his wife forgave him and now he reaches for Gods forgiveness... I personally like him more than JMM. So yes, coming from a mexican who is sorrounded by mexican, I vouch for the love we all give this little guy. MAB, Morales and MP= Greatness JMM="robbed" lol all day all day all day same here, no dislike for Manny, dude is awesome

Between Marquez and Pacquiao, only one of the cheats on his wife (w/ random women and prostitutes), is an alcoholic, gambling addict and doesn't pay taxes. Pac wasn't just fighter of the decade, he was husband of the decade too. He found god doe. That's the difference between most people and Pacquiao. Most people get stuck on their faults while he has the mental capacity to improve.

Edited or not, Pacquiao's impact is nothing short of magical. Seriously, has there ever been a fighter more loved by his people than the Pac Man?

No, I don't generalize my opinion on two online posters. I was using that as an anecdotal example (mostly facetiously). I base my opinion on real experiences w/ real Pacquiao fans. Key word: my opinion. Lol coz only pinoys can be 'real pac fans' right?

wow so many jealous butthurts! LMAO

All you need is Will Smith a german sheppard some infected zombie types and you get i am legend.

You don't have anything supporting what you're saying. "Pac is well respect by Mexicans?" What support do you have for this assertion? Or your character judgments of JMM. While you were making generalizations (based on psuedo-objective criteria), I was stating a subjective opinion, which was that Pacman fans are very annoying (just like mayweather fans) and watching their favorite fighter get KO'd was FVCKING SWEET. Nothing wrong with rooting for a fighter to get KO'd imo. And Pac is not very nice imo. Ok you win, you're absolutely right. PAC is not a nice guy, Mexicans hate PAC, and Marquez is a humble role model.

And Morales are well loved also in the PHilippines, he also made several local commercial in the philippines and one is together with Pac... you generalize your opinion based on two Pacstans?? lol!

Whilst the video might be edited for artistic value, I can attest that this is happening whenever pacman fights. Almost all the population are either in the gymnasium, at home or sports bar watching pacman's fight. crime rate is at 0% even rebels and soldiers declare declare ceasefire. That's crazy. I watched a documentary about the slums in the Philippines, and even though people over there are extremely poor they find ways to watch Manny fight. http://i.imgur.com/LSZxEtx.png I normally think nationalism is stupid but on the other hand it can give these people some joy for a brief moment.

Wow thats truly marvelous

Have you ever read a post by pac boy or other pac stans? I rest my case. So pacboy = whole nation? Lol You have no case

Fake or not, it makes the JMM KO even sweeter. Slayed the hero of a whole nation. PAC is a nice guy and he's well respected by both pinoys and Mexicans. You act like like there was some Mexican vs Pinoy war going on. The two sang karaoke together for crying out loud when promoting the fight. Everyone knows it's just Marquez that whines a lot. After PAC fought morales there was no bad blood and they stayed friends and that shows you the difference in character between morales and Marquez. http://youtu.be/xgLTgV0H-dU
