Let Pacquaio do what he wants. He owes the U.S media nothing.

I agree!!!!!

[M.I Truth ?]

Gotta be careful who you snub. I never was one that was big on award presentations but some of them you have to go to.

I can picture Arum on one end of the phone, panicking trying to convince Manny to come, and Manny on the other line pretending the phone is breaking up. "Sorrey Bob. I con't hear you."

[THRILLAinmanila]

Wow, something has to be going down for Pac to decide not to go to this
very important event.....

I think Pacquiao has to go to the award and on that early show, I mean he has the rest of his life to grow old and and be with his kid. A fighters prime doesn't last that long, he should soak it all up while he can.

honestly, pac is entitled to go where ever he wants, BUT if he has media obligations he should fulfill them. He isn't just coming to NYC for the FOTY award or to support mayol's boxing match, he's also got a spread in time magazine, the Early show on cbs and some other stuff. so pac should man up and just get his ass over here and take a vacation after that.
