    This, please. I have no interest in the religious conversion he seemed to have just as he became a politician.

    The song is about a hot young girl who fears no one will love her when she gets old and becomes irrelevant, its an amazing and haunting song by Lana Del Rey. However its a horrible and very gay song choice for a Pacquiao video.

    I liked it. I can see the subliminal message regarding his fans and his wife. Luckily, he has the most loyal of fans and they'll support him forever. He'll go down as a hero in his country and be remembered for a long time. It was touching. Good job!

    I get what they're going for but I associate it with The Great Gatsby and couldn't divorce the two. You might like this abuffy. This is my favorite Manny tribute.

    No worries dude, I get where your coming from. Thats the reason I actually chose the song though, Im a big fan of the book and the character Gatsby and I felt Pac has something similar. From the book,

    "If personality is an unbroken series of successful gestures, then there was something gorgeous about him, some heightened sensitivity to the promises of life.… [He had] an extraordinary gift for hope, a romantic readiness such as I have never found in any other person and which it is not likely I shall ever find again."

    It needed more ring highlights.

    Aww this makes me sad to think he is in the twilight of his career. Makes me wish I was not so young when he was in his prime. It's weird to think I wasnt even 10 years old when he fought Morales. I wish I could've been more consciously aware of him at the time. Oh well, that's why I have YouTube! Hopefully there's another superstar fighter like him in my lifetime.

    Ths was good too, but it was more one to get you pumped up right before his next fight. Still Will's was perfect for where his career is at right now. :nod
