          pacquiao is actually pronounced "pac-YOW", with the emphasis on the last syllable

          donaire is pronounced "do-NAI-re", with the emphasis on the second syllable.... NAI rhymes with "pie"

              are you sure about that? according to the illiterate TS and his ******ed friend, there's an "N" towards the end of his last name. Pacquiano, easily confused for "pak-queena"

This leads me to believe that A) youre illiterate and you cant read, or B) youve never seen a Manny fight or C) youve watched a manny fight and had the volume turned down the entire time.

                Which is it? illiterate? ******ed? deaf?
                Is my friend illiterate..yeah probs, haha. Yes ive seen Pacquiao fight, yes i know how the announcers pronounce it. No im not illiterate and yes i can read..thats kinda been proven throughout this thread, with me reading your fanboy responses and me replying to them. Again yes ive seen Pacquiao fight, and no the volume hasnt been turned down.
                Im neither illiterate..******ed or deaf, i was simply asking a question. But it seems that some pinoy names are read incorrectly, someone mentioned that donaire is pronounced incorrectly by most announcers.
                I dont know what else to reply with to your comment...

                  even my 3year old nephew is closer to pronouncing it properly: PAK-YA-YO

                      Well, unless everyone over the last 8 years has said his name wrong just watch any of his fights. I've always heard the the same pronunciation.
