Sarangani congressman Manny Pacquiao takes off his congress robe in order to get up the boxing ring in the biggest fight of his career against “Sugar” Shane Mosley.
The two famed fighters faced off with the media in a press conference for their fight. According to the tale of the tape, both fighters have their advantage. I think Manny has the upper hand because he is so much younger than Mosley so I believe he has more energy for an enduring fight.
When interviewed, it was refreshing to hear Mosley honor Pacquiao when he said something like this would be a difficult fight because he acknowledged that the Filipino contender is a really good fighter. This is so much in contrast to the Mexican opponents of Pacquiao who would always make threatening statements in the press con. Mosley is very humble so this should be a very interesting fight.
But when asked, Pacquiao said that his greatest fight is not in boxing but in how to bring solutions to the poverty problem in his country, meaning the Philippines. With that, he gained a lot of approval from listeners. I think that Manny is getting better at this social game, he answers like a Miss Universe candidate! hehe
Anyway, Manny is already a sought-after endorser in America. He is now the official face for Hewlett-Packard as well as the Pacquiao Produce line of farm products. He is now the 12th most bankable athlete in the world and his status is rising.
I just still hope and pray that Pacquiao will be careful with all the blessings entrusted to him. He should take care of it and handle it properly.
Meanwhile, “PacMom” Mommy Dionisia will soon be celebrating her birthday so she is not watching the Pacquiao-Mosley fight. Instead, she is preparing for her grand birthday bash with an outfit that is fit for a princess. She said that she is asking for a Hermes bag from Manny as a birthday gift. Oh well, Manny, that’s your Mom and it’s gonna be Mother’s Day and her birthday. I guess she also deserves it. hehe
