to all pacquaio fans:- was you a pac fan before de la hoya fight?

[Ryannn]

that was my 1st time watching dude. my cousin kept gassing him up after he beat Ledwaba. personally, i think that was the nastiest KO of pac's career(Lucero).

that was one of my favorite ko's ever. Lucero was caught and was stumbling around the ring

[minasyan]

condering i've only been a lover of the sport for a couple of years no i wasn't

[Tamis!]

I've been a fan since his BLOW by BLOW days.

o.k ill admit it, i was not a fan of pacquaio before the oscar fight and quite frankly barely heard of him. so i was just wondering did you know who pacquaio was before the oscer fight? poll coming.

First time I heard of his name was when he beat Clottey... Am I qualified to answer this poll?

[J.Dempsey]

Pac made his first big impression in the Ledwaba fight. He'd only been on ESPN before that I can remember. But after the 1st Barrera fight, how could anyone not be a fan of the guy? Haven't missed a fight of his since then.

Who's pacquiao?

[Nulle]

I started watching all his fights after seeing his 1st fight w/ Barrera on tv.
Im only 13 that time.
I even became an instant fan of boxing since then.

If you haven't seen Barrera, Morales, Marquez ebfore, then you need to watch them too lol

[The Guru_]

I liked Manny since he destroyed the highly regarded Ledwaba.

[Left2theliver]

His first fight with Morales was why i got into boxing...

yer there are alot of true pac fans but there are pac fans that have only noticed him since the DLH fight, but that was mainly because that was the first pac fight that we in britain recieved.

Here is some food for thought...

Pac has basically been a star (albeit in the lower weight classes) since 99 and has been the philippines best pro. athlete by far. If you are filipino and like sports the Pac has always been the biggest name over there. Don't you think that a country who is very prideful (like every other country) wouldn't have been following Pac for a long time.

This is why I think it's ridiculous to accuse filipino's of "Just know starting to follow Pacquiao". He has big for a while over there so for those of NSB to say that is very ignorate and foolish (accusing them becoming fans just recently)

Also Pac did huge #'s in the lower weight classes, and if you look at some of his older fights, you will see a huge filipino crowd/country flags etc in the audiance rooting Pac on. He's always had his country behind him.


Now there is no denying he has gotten bigger after the Oscar fight, but the is due to different nationalities starting to become fans of his...esp after he destroyed a lot of their national Icons.
