A Question for PINOY Boxing Fans...

[NYU Alum]

For me this guy should be in the headline because technically he is brilliant but i guess they cant have two stars at the sametime which is sad really, But isnt Donaire american?? or grew up in america?? If so that might be another reason why he isnt as popular as Pac in the phillipines.

This is what Wiki says...

Nonito Donaire, Jr. (born on November 16, 1982), is a Filipino-American professional boxer. He was born in Talibon, Bohol, raised in General Santos City in the Philippines, and moved to the United States at the age of ten.

He is currently the WBA interim world champion in the super flyweight, and is rated by Ring Magazine as the #6 pound-for-pound best boxer in the world.

He is also the former IBF and IBO flyweight champion of the world.

pinoys don't care about that.

it's not like other countries.

as long as you have filipino blood or born in the philippines , it's all good.



donaire does get love in philippines. viloria is off and on though like his performances.

From what I hear Donaire grew up in the bay and trains out of San Leandro. He has skills and I think its only a matter of time before he gets more love. It's a shame a lot of Pac fans only care about Pac and don't try to learn more about the sport and other fighters. And yes his wife is a dime... she could get the business any day lol check her in the video

Nonito seems like he can get more of an Oscar Delahoya crossover thing happening.

Bilingual, Familiar with the States, hot wife, seems to fit in well with different groups, etc.

[CrackYourJaw]

I think it's mostly because he's a super flyweight.

[BOLLOCKS]

He's too Americanized.

Nonito gets lots of love....I admit...definately not as much love as Pacquiao gets....but he gets love...unfortunately for the majority of Pinoy boxing fans on here....Pacquiao is the only pinoy boxer that they watch/ pay attention to. Pacquiao isn't the only pinoy boxer that is watched...AJ Banal....Nonito Donaire and Gerry P get lotsa love over here...particularly Bazooka...

[PACbeatFLOYD]

It's obvious why Manny Pacquiao is a national hero: he has done great things inside of the ring, he is a likeable guy, and he has a passion for the country.

Why doesn't Nonito Donaire get more love?

Vic Darchinyan KO!

Donaire is a nice-looking kid who speaks good English:
