Comments Thread For: Arum: Filipinos Don't Support 'No Pay-Per-View' Donaire

[Canelo Phresh]

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 lives here, makes money here and has citizenship here hes american.

Why do Americans try to claim Donaire?

Woods has only ever been an American. born, raised, only a citizen of the good ol USA.

Doesn't mean much. He grew up here. A naturalized citizen and even went to the Olympic trial trying to represent the U.S. Donaire should have been catering to the American audience all along. There is such a thing as Filipino-American him being one and countless others here in the U.S.

As an American, I will support him. It is not like Filipinos in the Philippines will be buying his PPV fight here anyway. Who supports Donaire will most likely fall under the shoulders of the American audience. So, Filipinos threatening that they will not support him is ridiculous and a non-issue. Also, I don't even think the majority of the general Filipinos (public) care who Donaire's promoter is.

I should have included a picture. it would have made it more obvious.

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

Who is they? I don't think any Filipino in the next 20-50 years would be able to take the attention away from Manny. lol.

he lives here, makes money here and has citizenship here hes american.

And this is sadly why he doesn't get as much support. He's built up his career in the United States but nobody in America cares about the lower weight classes. He's starting to get more media exposure in the Filipino Channels though...
