he not only transcends the supposedly dead sport of boxing but also the filipino race, one of the reason were proud of being filipino. his affable nature endears him to the people,and with all the accolades he's getting he's slowly putting the philippines back on the map. he also has cross over appeal, even my american friends mentions his name when they knew i was a filipino. so it is conceivable that his popularity is not limited to the philippines but resonates throughout the world.

what the hell are you talking about? boxing a dead sport? tell me di ka sports fan no? no one talks much of boxing anymore since the days of muhamad ali, george foreman, mike the-ear-biter tyson and other legendary boxers but that sport isn't dead. he is not the only filipino who excells in that sports there are other boxer who came before him and other filipions who is not also part of that field that puts the philippines on the map for us. yun nga lang his is the time na popular siya dahil sa straight wins niya andthe way he finishes off his opponents. manny the great hope?
 see my reaction?

im a boxing fan way even before pacquiao conquered the boxing world.unlike other guys who just appreciatae boxing or watch boxing because of pacquiao, i watch boxing because of the excitement it generates. i can tell you're just riding the pacman bandwagon like most filipinos do and i bet after pacquiao is gone you wont even recognize other up and coming boxers in our country. dont take the word "dead" literally, what i meant with that is boxing doesn't shine like like it once did, the thrill is gone,UFC is taking over evident of the pay per view numbers, which in case if you don't know is the number of household buys here in the US used to gauge how successful a fight is. yes, i agree with you that like pacquiao, his predecessor's did make our country proud but they didn't have the magnitude of effect that pacquiao creates that reverberates around the world. he makes a whole country stop on its track when he fights,not even the charismatic ali or the fear generating tyson or the good looking oscar delahoya or even the great sugar ray robinson could do that,and again don't take the word "stop" literally. thank god for pacquiao boxing is making a buzz once again and along with it,it raises our personal pride of being a filipino. our era is fortunate enough to witness a phenomenal pugilist that comes once in a lifetime. my prediction, pacquiao by ko in the late rounds against cotto.

hold on, you claim to be a boxing fan way before pacquiao and yet you are not familiar with the boxing circuit these days. and i'm not one of those craze filipino who is bowing and worshiping the land he walks on. do you actually understand my first commment? if i were one of those filipino i would agree with her but i didn't.
UFC is indeed becoming a fast fame sports but only to those who are fanatic and those who follows it. reason for that fast fame is that UFC has its own show on spike TV whereas boxing only comes out if there is a pay-per-view match. back to pacquiao, the different of his fame from other boxers is that he is given a lot of publicities. he is the talk of the town, people's champ but mind you he is not my champ nor a hero.

first of all, what made you think i'm not familiar with the boxing circuit? and why are you talking about praising and worshipping the land? clearly bro, you don't know what you're talking about. UFC is a fast rising sport because of the excitement it generates not just because it has its own show heck boxing too has its own show, people will pay something their moneys worth. thats why pacquiao is popular they pay to see him fight not just to dance in the ring and create a snooze fest atmosphere ala floyd mayweather. and comparing pacquiaos fame to his predecessors, he is way ahead of them, one of the reason is the accomplishment he's achieved. where can u see a guy who fought his first professional fight at flyweight and slowly worked he's way up to welterweight and still be competitive? he's a 6 time world champion, a distinction he shares with oscar delahoya, and if he prevails against cotto which i firmly believe he will he would achieve something no one has ever done before, an unprecedented 7th championship belt and that is surely going down in history. im not taking away anything from our great boxers such as the bad boy from dadiangas rolando navarete,pancho villa, and flash elorde, they are all great boxers but pacquiao is an all time great boxer worthy of getting mentioned with the names and likes of muhammad ali, henry armstrong, sugar ray leonard , and sugar ray robinson. and lastly no one is asking if pacquiao is your hero or not, who cares? everybody has his own hero, unfortunately for you 90 million of filipinos has manny their hero.

you sound funny, have you read my comment right? what are you talking about worshiping the land?
what i mean was "worshiping the land he walks on" anyway, where can you find a reality boxing competition? coz i think i've missed that on cable. oh wait are you talking about the tfc reality tv show where manny as one of the sponsor/host?  you mentioned so many boxers and yet claim to have some show and yet you claim boxing is a dead sports. hmmm.. anyway, i'm not taking that notion that manny is indeed a great fighter but the difference in here is that his time has all the lime lights and all this publicities. the problem with the old boxing circuit is that none of these new technological gadgets that we have today. manny came out from a time of great tech and today publicity sells. he is great no doubt in the ring but what made him more greater is the media who caught on with the hype. its all in the media. and i didn't say you have to care if he is my hero or not its a bold statement dude, analyze that.

damn bro, i'm losing hope for you. i didn't say that boxing is dead i said boxing was supposedly dead as written in most boxing articles. boxing has espn fight night show there's even the contender hosted by sylvester stallone and others. and all you can say is pacquiao is popular because of media? every athlete is popular because of media. and about the worshipping the lands you said this:
"and i'm not one of those craze filipino who is bowing and worshiping the land he walks on. do you actually" so why are talking about you worshipping the the land you walk on? and saying that pacquiao is not your hero is a bold statement? what's so bold about that?

you just broke your own argument, how can that sport be a supposedly-dead-sport to what the writters and you claim if there are other boxers who came to fame with this sport then and now? and plus the show? and my advise do not beleive anything you read buddy like i said publicity sells and writters can stimulate their articles for other people to picked up. dude, dude, c'mon do you actually read what i write? "so why are talking about you worshipping the the land you walk on?"  dude, haayyy i said and I quote "and i'm not one of those craze filipino who is bowing and worshiping the land he walks on." i didn't say I worship the land i walked on. c'mon!

obviously, you need to improve on your reading comprehension, when did i claim the sports of boxing is dead? i've wrote,"supposedly dead" refering to boxing articles thats why i said thank god pacquiao is lighting up the sports again.and can you please go over my post before you reply because im just tired going over the same thing over and over again. now your telling me not to believe boxing writers, scribe, journalist and analyst? what? are you saying you know a lot better than them now? damn bro,apparently just basing it on your post you just know boxing because of manny pacquiao, you dont know the roots of it, you don't now shit about boxing, you cant even stick to the topic and support your claim and the worst part is you cant even understand what your post is.and please stop pretending you know a lot about boxing cause your getting ridiculous as we go.

me being ridiculous? my topics are actually dead-on on the conversation and that's supposed to be my line. try to read my comment correctly and i've been explaining that to you for the last two comments already. how do you define supposedly? meaning beleive so you know now why i assume that you claim that boxing is dead. and if the sports journalist really claim that boxing is at that status before manny pacquiao came where does all those fame boxers coming from? you don't actually believe what they write because what they do is stimulate their article so that people would pick up their articles. i'm not being specialist nor expert but when it comes to that i don't think liberal media really knows how to sell. so my advise again is to do not believe what you read. you really made me laugh on that worshipping the land he walks on part mind you it took me two comment box to hit that point to you. for real, read my comment well man don't just type and click the comment box.

damn, now i really have to spoon feed you,do i have to break down everything for you?
"how do you define supposedly?" "supposedly dead" and i'm referring to the boxing articles. which means, its supposed to be dead but guess what? somebody took the boxing world by storm creating buzz resonating around the world not just because he's a champion but also a tremendous athlete. does that look like "claiming" to you? "meaning beleive so you know now why i ASSUME that you claim that boxing is dead" so your just assuming? your not even sure that i'm "claiming" boxing is dead? jesus christ for gods sake! "and if the sports journalist really claim that boxing is at that status before manny pacquiao came where does all those fame boxers coming from?" like i said you can't compare a good athlete to a gifted and phenomenal one. their were famous boxers before pacquiao but it pales in comparison to what manny has right now.that was the time when sports journalist thought boxing is dead because of pay per view numbers against UFC and their was no one at that time carrying the torch for the sport like the times of muhammad ali. sugar ray leonard and mike tyson where boxing headlines most of the newspaper frontpage,until of course pacquiao came. they get famous because they fought the best competitors in or near their weight class division. why do you think names like muhammad ali, sugar ray robinson, henry armstrong still lingers and getting mentioned around specially when talking about elite fighters? and during that time of henry armstrong and muhammad ali and sugar ray leonard there wasn't too much media to hype them? which goes against your claims that pacquiao is more popular than his predecessors because of the modernization and technological advances were experiencing today.so why are they, up to now still the base of merit for excellent fighters? its because they fought at the highest level of competition when they were at their peak and add to that their fighting style and amiable demeanor.same goes with pacquiao. and do you even think all boxers reach to that level? hell no! only the most dedicated and hard working boxers can achieve that zenith of success. so don't even compare the fame of a good boxer to pacquiao caused honestly its like comparing the moon and the sun. "you don't actually believe what they write because what they do is stimulate their article so that people would pick up their articles." well, i'd rather go with what they say than go with your opinion.  i read a lot of boxing articles and i dont believe every article i read but when all the articles points to one direction andand has common idea how the hell can you say not to believe them? and again i'm talking about boxing articles here so dont you go fishing for another media topic that you can throw in the table as i'm sick of that game of yours. "you really made me laugh on that worshipping the land he walks on part mind you it took me two comment box to hit that point to you. for real, read my comment well man don't just type and click the comment box." heres what you said: "and i'm not one of those craze filipino who is bowing and worshiping the land HE walks on." for your sake i will try to make it really comprehensible for you. why would you inject such statement when talking about boxing? does that clear everything for you? and what i asked you was,"why are you talking about praising and worshipping the land?" am i asking you if you are worshipping the land or not? no! so why are you putting that idea of worshipping and praising the land in our discussion? and who is that HE your referring to in your statement? was it pacquiao? who are those crazy filipino? are you referring to pacquaio? if yes, he's not worshiping the land he's honoring it you idiot. what's the point of you telling me that your not worshipping or praising the land? a silly statement if you ask me. "hold on, you claim to be a boxing fan way before pacquiao and yet you are not familiar with the boxing circuit these days." what made you think i'm not familiar with the boxing circuit? when in fact your the one who doesn't have any clue at all evident on your previous post. and i bet you don't even know the natural fighting weight of pacquiao, do you? "its all in the media. and i didn't say you have to care if he is my hero or not its a BOLD STATEMENT dude, analyze that." now this one is a killer line right here. hahahaha! i gotta commend you on that bro,  you gave me a good hearty laugh on that bold statement of yours. what in the world is so bold about telling me pacquiao is not your hero? and analyze? analyze my ass. -i dont know if your on crack dude but we can talk about your kikay kit if you want,maybe that way you can add more substance to your post. lol!

it looks as though you are adding words on your response at first you wrote " supposedly dead sport of boxing then in the next box you wrote dont take the word "dead" literally, what i meant with that is boxing doesn't shine like like it once did. then on your fourth box you wrote i didn't say that boxing is dead i said boxing was supposedly dead as written in most boxing articles. I mean you are literally adding words on your replies nagugulohan na tuloy ako kung ano ba talaga ang main argument mo sa issue na yan. reason after reason after reason tsk tsk tsk.if you don't literally know the meaning of "assume" it means take to be the case or to be true so why on earth would you say that and i quote "so your just assuming? your not even sure that i'm "claiming" boxing is dead? jesus christ for gods sake!" hahaha clearly you don't know what you are talking but its ok i'm here, i'm here. what game? oh you mean the liberal media part? dude, if you actually believe on some articles then that's your choice. but what i'm saying is that not all has its own merit that is why i'm advising you not to believe on them. the funny part about it is that they say one thing and retract the next hahahaha, i'm not adding anything so don't be afraid. all media on all genre carries that same agenda, the more controversial their articles are the more it sells. that's the point!about these "and i'm not one of those craze filipino who is bowing and worshiping the land HE walks on." you really have no idea where that comment came from huh? that's the part i laugh the most you know why? that's a direct response from your own comment. you said: i can tell you're just riding the pacman bandwagon like most filipinos do and i bet after pacquiao is gone you wont even recognize other up and coming boxers in our country remember now? that respond came from that comment really bro, you need to read what you write so that you would understand the whole debate. you are now repeating what you write pfftt.. have you have anything to say anymore? its true, that is my bold statement coz from what i heard a lot of filipinos claimed manny pacquiao is there hero and i'm not one of them. and i have to say this again, your arguments has a lot of holes and it made me laugh my ass off when you said that i'm on crack. you don't even know your statements and yet laugh at it there's a difference between your own statement from a copy and paste statement, you see, if that really is yours then you would know where on your statement that person is replying from but sad to say you've missed a huge argument and yet said for your sake i will try to make it really comprehensible for you now tell me who between us needs more understanding? i would say you! wait i forgot to

wow, you are really an amusing creature to behold. lol! you didn't even try to answer or defend your side of the fence, all your doing now is trying to find a fault when in fact its not even a fault its just that, that tiny brain of yours couldn't comprehend due to limited vocabulary.
-t looks as though you are adding words on your response at first you wrote " supposedly dead sport of boxing then in the next box you wrote dont take the word "dead" literally, what i meant with that is boxing doesn't shine like like it once did. then on your fourth box you wrote i didn't say that boxing is dead i said boxing was supposedly dead as written in most boxing articles. I mean you are literally adding words on your replies nagugulohan na tuloy ako kung ano ba talaga ang main argument mo sa issue na yan. reason after reason after reason tsk tsk tsk. you have a hopeless case bro, iv'e already explained this for the nth time. but due to reading comprehension problem i wont waste my energy going over it again as it will only fall to deaf ears. go over it again, maybe after 2 years you'll get it. lol -if you don't literally know the meaning of "assume" it means take to be the case or to be true so why on earth would you say that and i quote "so your just assuming? your not even sure that i'm "claiming" boxing is dead? jesus christ for gods sake!" hahahaha! another case of reading comprehension problem. i think the only word you understood was TRUTH. so your puny brain was telling you, ASSUME=TRUTH haha! if you take the whole meaning of assume which is, "take to be the case or to be true" the meaning changes. and for your sake (again) i'll explain the WHOLE idea of it for you. its saying that your considering something but without proof or with doubt. meaning your not even sure about me "claiming that boxing is dead". and one more thing, you forgot something, why not put the whole meaning to make it really clear? lol! here it is:take to be the case or to be true; accept without verification or proof oohh!! a kick to the balls! now that one really backfired at you. the more you talk the more your getting exposed bro. and don't just take a single word take the whole idea of the sentence. -what game? oh you mean the liberal media part? oh uh. comprehension problem.lol - but what i'm saying is that not all has its own merit that is why i'm advising you not to believe on them and again your drifting away from the topic, so your advising me not to believe them? answer my question on the previous post which is "when all the articles points to one direction and and has common idea how the hell can you say not to believe them?" are you telling me to just believe articles that i want and not to believe on the articles i dont want? seriously bro? that's an explanation of a kindergarten. your not even scratching the surface of the topic. -the funny part about it is that they say one thing and retract the next hahahaha, everybody knows that you idiot. lol -i'm not adding anything so don't be afraid. afraid? lol! anything you say is garbage anyway, you cant even support it with facts. lol - the more controversial their articles are the more it sells. that's the point! and again everybody know that you idiot! lol! and about "i can tell you're just riding the pacman bandwagon like most filipinos do and i bet after pacquiao is gone you wont even recognize other up and coming boxers in our country." your responses was "and i'm not one of those craze filipino who is bowing and worshiping the land HE walks on" hahahaha,another case of comprehension problem, i wasn't even talking about the land or praising or worshipping. wow! you have your own way of interpreting things man. lol! i was talking about people who rides on pacquiao's popularity man. damn, your response was way off the chart. but i like the way you interpret it though haha that was hilarious.-you are now repeating what you write pfftt.. have you have anything to say anymore? its true, that is my bold statement coz from what i heard a lot of filipinos claimed manny pacquiao is there hero and i'm not one of them is this another one of your bold statement? hahaha. better know the meaning of words before throwing out there son! anyway,im not surprised anymore as you have your own interpretation. lol! -your arguments has a lot of holes really? its not even an argument anymore, its more of a question and answer. you ask, i answer, why? because you dont have anything to bring on the table heck you dont even have a strong ground to support, so are you still thinking this is an argument? its even a lecture sometimes, i gave my insight and view about boxing all you do is ask and find fault which i am more than welcome to answer which was really hard because of comprehension problem. -made me laugh my ass off when you said that i'm on crack. you don't even know your statements and yet laugh at it haha, the more you talk the more you exposed your stupidity bro.if you dont have any clue or idea on certain things its better to shut up, that way, atleast i can give you the benefit of a doubt. so i guess this is another comprehension problem.for your sake (again) let me explain about crack. here is the literal meaning of crack: Crack, a fracture or discontinuation in a body. you took the word crack literally again you dumb ass. lol! crack also means drugs,so if somebody told you, " are you on crack?" it means "are you on drugs?" or you can also use it to indicate laughter, let say, "she cracks me up" meaning "she makes me laugh". so which term of crack do you think i used in my sentence? sirit na? heres for you: are you on crack? cause you crack me up. ahahahha. you do get it now,do you? and i'll remind you again don't just interpret a single word, take the whole idea of the sentence. -there's a difference between your own statement from a copy and paste statement, you see, if that really is yours then you would know where on your statement that person is replying from but sad to say you've missed a huge argument. now this is unexpected, do you even know what you did? hahaha! im sure you don't,as usual. thank you for complimenting my post bro, i really appreciate it. does it really look like i copied it from an article? hahaha. like i said bro the problem is your reading comprehension, you need to broaden it. its evident you have a comprehension problem, you're interpreting a sentence by using words and not ideas. and please don't try to be a smart ass on subjects you don't know about as you really look pathetic when you don't know what your talking about. and honestly, its pointless to continue with this as your comprehension problem seems to be worst than i expected. lol! all i can say now is goodluck on your future endeavors in life. (sana maintindihan ka nila. lol!) deuces!! (for your sake if you dont know the meaning of deuces, it means peace out! i'm out! lol )
