    but if you look around there's probably a lot of bars in your area that do it to.

    I remember my ex draggin' me to Hmong karaoke night at the Ramada Hotel. A bunch of thugged out Asian guys singing pop-country songs. Bizarre.

    Nonito isn't bad at all. He hit the notes, what more do you want?
    lmfaaooooooo...

    you shouldve called clint eastwood.

        Donaire could take those lower division to the next level, usually Casual Boxing Fans don't give a **** about Divisions lower then 135 lbs - 130 lbs UNFORTUNATELY!

        but Donaire yesterday as well as the Tournament on Showtime is starting to get those Casual Fans attention...and that 118 lbs division is LOADED, even more loaded then the 140 division to be honest

        all the talk about Donaire moving up to featherweight to fight JuanMa or Gamboa is extremely PREMATURE, because he has a ton of competition in his current division to worry about, for you newcomers to the 118 lbs division you might want to get familiar with these fighters:

        Anselmo Moreno
        King Kong Agbeko
        Abner Mares
        Yonnhy Perez (despite losing to Agbeko, Perez is still a very dangerous fighter)
        Koki Kameda
        Vic Darchinyan (didn't look too bad or old against Mares, he actually looked solid and some thought he was Robbed)

          He can be and imo right now he is more exciting than any time in Pacquaios career. Manny will always be the greater fighter because hes done it for so long but right now Donaire is one of the baddest men alive. I ***ing love this dude. I like how he acts like a regular dude. I look forward to seeing him fight live in the future. One thing that really needs to happen though is he HAS to be more active. The dude goes a long time between fights. He should be in the ring every 3 to 4 months tops.

              I almost spit my beer out when I read that I laughed so hard. Are you seriously on crack or do you just make idiotic statements and giggle like a school girl because you know how dumb they are. Manny is anything but boring outside the ring. This is the same Manny that was a known late night pool hustler, had an illegitimate child, multiple affairs, and was known as a party animal after his breakout win over MAB. Donaire has done what to make you think he's some kind of rockstar? When you attract as much attention and love as he does from an entire nation not a select group of sports fans like Donaire then you must be pretty exciting.

                  Yeah, I think the problem was with promoters back in the day. He has been a bit more active but another problem is the Latin Fury PPVs or whatever the hell they call them. He needs to be on HBO 3 times a year, no excuses. I don't think HBO is going to disagree either after last night.

                  No, he's right man. To most people, especially Americans, Manny is boring. Yeah, he does off the wall things and is a happy guy but it doesn't really translate that well on the television. People like him outside of the ring but I'm not sure anyone really says "yo, that's a really cool dude. I want to party with him." Nonito being able to speak English and speak it well, not to mention being very respectable to his fans and opponent really open a new avenue for him. Manny may be awesome to his people but I don't think many think he's exciting outside of the ring. Nonito is a breath of fresh air and has the chance to do both.

                    Ok this is too easy. I'll bet all my points than in one year from now more casual fans will still talk about Manny or Floyd and only the hardcore fans will know Donaire. But if he's as exciting as you say and has all these favorable attributes then you have nothing to lose, right?

                      Ive noticed haters like to start CIVIL WARS . "Nonito DOnaire is so much better than Pacquiao" OOOOooooo Aaaaaa They did the same thing with Froch in an effort to discredit Calzaghe.

                      Joe & Carl are both good.

                      Manny & Flash are good as well.
