Srs Question: Why is Manny Pacquiao so beloved?

[Richard]

Came from poverty to win riches.Is a exciting fighter to watch. Was a sinner(who isnt)and tried to better his life by turning to God.

[Scopedog]

Why is this a question? He's had a ridiculously strong career, fought craploads of great fighters from Super Bantamweight all the way through Welterweight and usually won, typically in exciting fashion. All of that made him a cult hero in the Philippines too. Yes, his fanboys have been annoying over the years but it's really not hard to see why he has them.

[KillaMane26]

Pac one of the best fighters of all time especially at the lower weights...I don't know the ngga personally same as literally every other fighter.

I have more of a problem with his fans than him...And the vintage HBO asskissing he used to get.

[IHITBACK]

because the ENEMY chose to support him, same as kov and ggg americans hate blacks so theyre gonna get HATE back at them, you get what you give......karma "for ever action their is a reaction in covored in racism, they dont wanna admit the truth, (they cant admit when they're wrong) Trump talking about an AIRPORT during the civil war, a simple mistake he cant cop to, shows everything about the enemy the enemy and thier dishonesty

[IHITBACK]

americans claim to love religion / racism / patriotism we fought against a russian, with an american WHO WON A GOLD MEDAL, BY A RELIGION WEILDING GUY WITH A BIBLE IN HIS HAND........CERTAIN GROUP STILL WAS HATING HIM.....MANY EXAMPLES

[DaNeutral.]

He's a massive legend. Some spiteful turds dont like it but they can piss and moan all they want there is nothing they can do about it.

All I know is when the big fight came, one guy had a needle in his arm getting fluids and the other didn't.

And the other guy beats up women instead of fking them.

They all may be sinners but the little dude fought like a mother fker and that's why people like him. He's had a dozen more exciting fights than anyone I can remeber outside of Gatti.

[hugh grant]

Probably loved so much as he's the best of era but don't boast about it and self pro claim. Got a shout of being GOAT but dont self proclaim

[WholeSoul75]

Pbc loves manny, so much pbc aired highlights of the may vs. pac (during Thurman vs pac ep.2) explaining to the world that pac was fighting with an injured shoulder and ineffective after 4th round. That's pbc love.

[Pac=Duran]

Pacquiao has legions of fanny-boys that idolize the guy like he's some angel and attack critics like rabid dogs...... but why?

The guy:
1. Ducked random blood testing for years (it weakens him lol)
2. Cheated on his wife with multiple hookers/actresses/girls
3. Had illegitimate son and refused to pay child support
4. Threatened to kidnap said child
5. Accused of assault, buying votes, and fraud in the Philippines
6. Wants death penalty for drug users (was one himself)
7. Supports Duterte who is a mass murderer
8. His biggest wins were against shot fighters at catchweights

I can go on and on.

Why do people like this guy and act like he's something that he's not?

Most exciting fighter to watch in history. Real humble and nice as well.
