Srs Question: Why is Manny Pacquiao so beloved?

[RadChang]

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?

[Bundt]

Probably because he is the boxing version of Maximus. Are you not entertained?

Maximus never took drugs or go to sleep in the ring.

"IF you gotta ask what jazz is, you'll never get it". Same with your question. If you have to ask why people like Manny, you just won't get it.
You'll be better off, just chillin and enjoying some Mayweather replays.

You asked why he is loved. The man is an entertainer in the hurt business, he’s not Mr Perfect.

[Redd Foxx]

Because he gave us years of great fights that embody what boxing is about. If you're a boxing fan, you appreciate what Manny gave us.

I sure did.

He was in fun fights. Kept beating mfers few thought he'd beat. Had charisma outside the ring. Singsongy way of talking made him the classic tough guy who sounded more ***** than he was (ie Tyson & GGG). People don't usually care to deconstruct so much about a guys career as you did to find reasons to dislike him. Most people/casual boxing fans are neutral or optimistic about their entertainment so just look for the positives not so much the negatives.

He is very popular and there isn't a damn thing you can do to change that. He will go down in boxing history as an all time great. There are some other Pac haters who will agree with you but the vast majority will not. Most great boxers get a few haters like you. By your user name your whole reason for going was to heap hate on Pacquiao, That's really sick.

[Phenom]

He is overrated his entire career is based on 09-12 literally 3 years of weight manipulation and avoiding drug tests
