    I think it's friggin ridiculous

    50-60 people just sitting around workshipping you

    The guys he grew up with like Bigboy , no problem

    But all those hangers on is just sad

    I don't think its insecurity so much as never having a childhood, being forced to provide for your family at such a young age never getting to play with your friends, kinda of sad that people have to endure that in a 3rd world country, which makes his story that much more interesting.

    Its also disconcerting that he has that big of an entourage because there are people that are just plain using him.

    No one i mean no one has 50-60 good closer friends

    If your gonna surround yourself with 60 people who will do whatever you command, make them hot babes !

    Its a Filipino thing. Nothing to do with insecurities. I can see how it would seem that way to a westerner. The more the merrier is the best way to describe it. Its their culture.

    Finally, somebody that isn't an ignorant dolt. It's Pacquiao BARKADA... It's not a sign of insecurity. If there's anybody that shows signs of insecurity it's the...:lol::smoke

    Seems like all mega star boxers have large entourages. Ali's was bigger than that i think, and he paid them all even if they didn't do anything. Part of the territory. Having guys around that tell you you're the best non stop.

    A lot of people have big entourages, but Pac's is pretty big though.
    With Sugar Ray Robinson, most of his people would serve a purpose (Barber, driver, ect)

    And with Floyd most are body guards and some close friends (50, P Reala)

    Source?

    Pac said himself on 24/7 he likes a lot of people around because it makes him happy and helps him relax, or something along those lines. Obv its lost in translation. He isn't very articulate speaking english

    Ever been to a Filipino family party? Super fun. Guaranteed there's lechon, alcohol, games, and karaoke. Packed house wall to wall and everyone's invited lol.

    It's a filipino thing ...

    I would say a man having an entourage of 5-10 300lb roided out bodyguards is more of a sign of insecurity.
