[puga]

i think pinoys support donaire when he's inside the ring...but when he's disrespecting his dad in front of the camera and when his b1tch wife opens her mouth is when they stop .......

Ask angulo what's the purpose of a US citizenship, people come because this country offers more opportunities than any other. Once you're a citizen, you don't have to worry about visa, which is a pain in the a$$ lately because of some circumstances.

You also have to realize that Americans love feel good stories, why do think Bob wants to PAC on CBS so bad, because he knows that Americans will eat that **** up.

You missed the point of my comment. I was saying that he wouldn't have more followers than Manny just because he's American and can speak English better. The only popular American fighter now is Floyd, sad to say.

Exactly @ your second point. That's exactly why Manny is selling like hotcakes to the American public. Rag to riches 7-division boxer turned politician has a ring to it. Again, Bob's fault for not properly handling Donaire's career.

Isn't it kind of Arum's fault that Donaire wasn't a PPV fighter?

You would kinda think that he was involved somehow

[joelab75]

Nobody will ever recieve that kind of love again, but he recieves VERY little support from his own people

And i think they are threatened by Donaire taking attention away from Pac

If Donaire is asking Filipino to support his PPV fight its not going to happen. no one in lower division fight in a PPV.

U kidding right? threatened by Donaire? Pac is threatened by Donaire because he beat Montiel? LOL

Filipino support Donaire but asking to pay for his fight seems unfair right now. Manny was never a headline in any PPV back in 118-122 lbs and Pac was already way more popular than Donaire to the Filipino people back then.

That's bull****, Arum doesn't speak for Filipinos. It's not the entire truth, there are many in the Philippines that fully support Donaire. Donaire is not the JCC Jr of the Philippines. He was just there not too long ago and pretty much made appearances on every major sports networks doing interviews and such.

I don't like that Arum tries to create more friction than what's really there.

Arum is just a bloodsuckin greedy mofo who's holding the man's career back.

filipino americans like myself is glad there's someone like Donaire... he has my utmost support

[LeadUppercut]

Donaire was not born in any part of America; North or South. He was born in the Phillipines. That makes him Phillipino! Just FYI.

He has lived in the US for most of his life, and Filipino's are not interested.

Many people were born in one country, but claim nationality in another.

If he don't get any respect from the Phillies, then I imagine that he will never fight there, and will rely on US fans for his support.

Anyways, that is irrelevant.....
..... Nonito is an elite fighter, so he can do what he wants.

[LeadUppercut]

lol, Im not getting into this again.

but he is a dual citizen of both the Phillipines AND America, and has been living in America since he was 11(over half his life).

he is as much American as he is Filipino. that is a fact.

That's how I see it, be interesting to hear Nonito's viewpoint.

[komandante]

Arum is no Filipino, what he says that Filipino doesn't support Donaire is all BS. Bob only knows Pacquiao. Pinoys in the Philippines generally doesn't buy PPV cause you can watch it for free. Also wrong to say that its all Mexicans at Mandalay Bay that is false.

[LeadUppercut]

Why do Americans try to claim Donaire?

The US aint all that, he should come here, we will take him, in a flash
