Pacquiao's fame in the Mexican community really intrigues me.

    Mexico and the Philippines have similar cultural background and Manny Pacquiao is a personification of a true gentleman hence, his being acceptable to the Mexican fans.
    By contrast, ODLH flaunts his wealth which is an anathema to the humble Mexican people...

    Pacuiao is a spanish name. And he can sorta speak spanglish. Plus he fight's like a rabbit. Former poverty stricken skinny 108 pound kid soaking wet he fought through adversity with blood sweat and tears.Got KTFO And schooled badly but still tried to the end.

    :rofl

    Mexicans dont like Oscar because he claims to be an American first and foremost. Thats pretty much the main reason.

    PAC did nothing to his family. He hates PAC soooooooooo much that he always bet on the opponent of pac. Pac lost to morales and i lost count how many wins he had after that... The problem is Nallege
    NEVER LEARNS and keep on betting against PAC :lol:

    Now is the best time to bet on the opponent of pac. But in the event PAC upsets DLH... There's only one thing to tell you..you never learn :nut

    Such a pathetic hater. You must be sad. :dead Unless being pather hater makes you happy :!: :think

    Does Pacquiao claim to be Mexican?

    Maybe it's a height thing.

    Filipinos love watching sluggers with big fighting hearts, just like Mexican boxing fans.

    Filipinos respect slick, technical boxers and counterpunchers, but they prefer watching an old school brawl instead of a virtual chess match.

    Maybe Mexicans are like that too.

    As early as 2002, when Pacquiao was barely known even by the American boxing fans, I've heard Mexican boxing fans call Manny with a Spanish nickname, "Gallo" which in English translates to fighting rooster.

    If you've ever watched a live cockfight, you'd see the similarities between Pac's old fighting style to 2 roosters fighting, with razor sharp blades attached to its leg, battling to the death.

    He beat their legends, he's a humble guy, he's small and he's fighting the most hated Mexican in the history of Mexico.

    Yeah I'd say Pac has the support on this one.
