Pacqiuao is a good guy and i have no doubt he can come back just as strong as he left off. A KO loss can happen to anyone. *******s on the other hand is quite annoying, they should all get KOed.
Must be hard to feel like you've let your whole country down. But the support shown from the Filipino people must be nice for him. I hope he bounces back, for his sake. It would be a shame to see a legend like him retire after a devastating loss like that.
How can anyone hate this guy? I am a Marquez Dan, I always believed (and still do) that Mayweather is a better technician but damn, Pacquiao brings a beautiful human element to boxing! Much respect to him
Dude has a lot on his shoulders....he is THE MAN in the Philippines and carries his entire nation into the ring. Defeat can bring a man down, or allow him to rise up. Look at Joe Louis...Schmeling KO'd his ass but he came back to win. But look at Al Gore...lost the presidency and went into hiding, grew a beard. I give Pac props. He represents his country to the world very well. Guy is an elected politician trying to help his people.
Filipinos always smile even in front of danger, or even when hurt. That's what Manny did. On the interview, Her wife was crying about seeing his husband getting knocked out like that (which is normal to women, duh), The interviewer told Manny and told him it's ok to console his sobbing wife on tv, Manny smiles and when he started to talk he started to cry when manny said he was thankful for all the fans, he said that that is how the sport was all about. The interviewer said that the Filipinos admired him through his wins, and the filipinos will continue to support him even though he lost, (that's when manny started to wipe his tears). Manny said that he was worried more about his family, and also the morale of the filipino people that he thinks he let the people down more (maybe he was talking about the great storm that hit his hometown that killed more that 600 lives). Manny said he accepted the loss and that was his job " when the time comes he gets defeated, it's time to accept it" Im not good at translation like what Bogo used to do, but **** t. “Don’t fight if you don’t want to lose,” he said. “That’s sports.” - what a ****ing G
some people talk a lot of **** here... asking him to "man up"? really? I suppose you want him to go all Valero on his wife and kids?
I think it has more to do with his family wanting him to retire especially after that ko, plus the burden of winning that fight with the current event in the Phil were hundreds died and hundreds more missing. Typhoon I believe.
poor guy. he has a big heart and the weight of a nation on his back. i feel for him i really do. people mocking him over that are just not adults, plain and simple (almost certainly virgins as well). they haven't got enough life experience to comprehend the love the man must have for his people.
Here's a rough translation: MP: I was overwhelmed by the love and support of firstly my family, then my fans and supporters. I'm very much OK with the result, but I feel bad for making my family and supporters sad (for the KO and for the loss). It was my job to make them happy and I feel so bad that I let them down. I'm OK and already accepted my defeat because it really comes, it's part of my job. But whenever I see Filipinos, supporters and especially my family in tears because of the fight's outcome, it breaks my heart. Then the media simply reassures him that we (Filipinos) are still on his side.
he was crying because of the support he's received, also he said that he doesn't like seeing his family hurt and sad. He wants them to be happy always. Said that boxing is his job and losing comes with it sometimes and that you have to accept it. The reason why he was crying is he saw his family and fans crying and hurt. can't hate on the guy.
