It's way too premature to call this a rivalry between the two contrast this with Puerto Rico and Mexico it took years to build this.

Pinoys have to win fights to be consider a rivalry. The top Pinoys fighters will lose to the top PR fighters except for Manny.

perceptions you mean? anyway there's no rivalry really they're just using it to sell the fight...and besides that's juanma lopez talking out of his ass so don't view this rivalry thing as something negative on pinoy's side.
