Look at 1:36 the guy said he bought HBO PPV in Israel. Filipinos in Israel ordered HBO just to watch Manny Pacquiao. This year I could hear countless Filipinos all over the world switching from HBO to Showtime just to order Manny Pacquiao's PPV fight. I say Pacman's fans really know how to support their boxer. So, if Mercito Gesta ever becomes a bona fide PPV star expect Filipinos to stick with boxing for a long time. Imagine Israel PPV. No wonder it takes forever to count the PPV numbers.
Do you consider Pacquiao fans to be legitimate boxing fans?

*** NO! Not all but I would say 90% (and that is probably being generous) are new to boxing, 98% of them are only a fan of Pacquiao because he is Filipino like they are. I understand being PROUD OF YOUR OWN, it is nothing wrong with that, but when you disrespect the HISTORY OF BOXING, that is what I have a problem with, when someone who only been watching boxing for a strong 2-3 years start trying to disrespect Past Legends only because they want others to consider their favorite fighter "THE GREATEST EVER"
That happens a lot with these NEW BOXING FANS! "Armstrong Wasn't That Great" "Ali Wasn't That Great" "Ray Robinson Wasn't That Great"they do this so they can try to move their favorite fighter up on ATG List I guess...but TRUE BOXING FANS see post like that and just laugh and you can tell right away that the people who post stuff like that are not even "BOXING FANS" they are just a "FAN OF A BOXER"
Then when you correct these misinformed fans "OH YOUR RACIST" "Oh Your Jealous Of Pacquiao" blah blah blah
This is why you have Boxing Writers, Websites, Reporters basically CATERING TO PACQUIAO FANS now because they are EXTREMELY EMOTIONAL and SENSITIVE when it comes to Manny. So now Writers just PRAISE HIM because it is easier and they attack Mayweather which is also MUCH EASIER lolComment

Da **** is this bull****?
Any pro boxer right now would KILL for the fanbase and support Manny Pacquiao has.
MAYWEATHER AFTER DARK: EPISODE 5 from FightHype on Vimeo.
Floyd Mayweather @ 1:02 - 1:45
" I like the Filipino people, because the Filipinos, they're gonna stand behind him win lose or draw."
"His people are gonna still love him unconditionally. The black american race...we don't have that."
TS is just bitter the boxing world doesn't give two ****s about dominicans or their fighters.Comment
