Thread: does Pacman not get respect cause he's Asian???

i've noticed on these boards that there are more Pac haters than lovers
i personally think he's the shit and is definately one of the best at the moment
his display of skill was undeniable and those who say otherwise are probably racist or just don't like asians
give the guy some props will you? he was brilliant and i look forward to his upcoming matches

please explain, the racist thing?

There are haters of fighters from all races here, and it's not because of their race.
I can't think of anyone here that doesn't have him on top 10 p4p, let me know if anyone here doesn't.

In response to: "those who say otherwise are probably racist or just don't like asians". Wow...that is a stupid comment.

First of all, I think MOST people on this board are pac fans...and even if they are not a fan I've NEVER seen anyone hate on him.


Pacman gets tons of respect from basically everybody. I don't know what you are talking about saying people hate on him cause he's asian.


Perhaps you are "1magining" things

Pac gets plenty of respect. If your using boxing message boards to gauge the popularity of your boy, you're using the wrong measuring stick.

Pac gives boxing fans hardcore and casual what they want to see. Action fights, where he lays it all out every night giving fans their monies worth. Respect comes in the form of how many tune in for his fights.

Your boy is more popular with the overall public than the heavyweights these days. I cant remember a time when 130 pound title fights could outdraw a heavyweight title contest.

trust me your boy is well respected.

what burns me is that most pac disciples take it very personally when one makes an observation about Pac's fighting style. I like Pac and he is in my top five current fighters. it is the fans that bother me.

theres no racism here, but i also noticed that after the 3rd fight with morales. people just started to shoot pac down. kesyo pac beat up an almost dead EM, why didnt u guys said that before the fight?

Yeah i gotta disagree too. Pac gets respect even from people who dont like him.
Hes probably in everybodys top 10 P4P list and not once have i heard a negative comment about him being asian.
Id say Filipino boxers even get more props. "yea hes from the Phillipines" sounds a lot better than "Yea, hes from England"

If one things for sure is that in this here site, there is no such thing as color lines and or segregations..... The only tim you will read anything near racist is when IDIOTS just create an account to post as many stupid things as they can before a 'Mod' deletes the threads and before he gets banned....
For the most part theres always someone here watching the site making sure this doesn't happen....

About PAC, coming from a HARD CORE ERIK fan I give him the outmost respect I can, I have become a fan and can't wait to see what he does in 2007.... It's gonna be a hella'vu year for him thats for sure....

It was said before the fight that Erik was already done and past his best days...... But like I said even then that takes nothing away from Pacs win, cause the way Erik threw those punches with conviction could have KO'ed anyone but Pac just shook them off like if a fly had bumped into his forehead...

Pac is getting the respect he deserves, thats why hes moved up in the P4P rankings, Div. rankings and most IMPORTANT hes won over thousands of fans, including myself... Theres nothing you could do but like the guy hes exciting, explosive and powerful, whatelse would you wan't?

Personally coming from someone who is Asian Pacific Islander myself, I can see how one can say he does not get the LOVE he so deserves for being Asian, but also I was at the GRAND FINALE RINGSIDE and i saw the 18,000 plus people 1/2 divided into MEXICO and API's both representin. For many years hard core mexican fans come out and take pride in representing their fighters. one interesting thing i found was that the mexican fans were chanting: MEXICO(ME-HICO),NOT MORALES?

while the pac fans were chanting: MANNY MANNY MANNY

so its interesting to see just by that, the mexicans take pride in mexican fighters period, where the API's wasnt chanting FILIPINOS, or MANILA, or ASIANS but MANNY!!!!!!

interesting huh?

but yeah its very similiar to yao ming in the nba, or ichiro in the mlb these are the new OG API cats FINALLLY starting to represent and thats great for the sport period.

I think the reason people think Pacs fans are annoying is because it's often Phillipinos who know very little english but spam forums with the Royal approach... Somebody posted a thread called dillusional fans that had some quotes from another board or something it was hilarious.

Probably its bacause hes beating up on old legends its not the best way to become popular remember Larry Holmes beating Ali, I hated the man for years and wanted him to get his. But when he did Id become very fond of him

TheBestP4P check this picture I took at Dodger stadium.... Do you recognize the stands?

yo thats SICK rawbert!!!!!!

hows ya granny? should of rolled thru man we had a good time at the the last tetas spot ahhaha

How are people biased against him? He's ranked #2 p4p by the Ring Magazine, and most people here think highly of him... just because people say he wouldn't be able to beat guys like Mayweather doesn't mean that we are disrespecting him.

put it this way as i was checking into my flight today, wearing my GRAND FINALE tshirt the lady at the counter says hey thats a cool BRUCE LEE tshirt u have on i wish i was able to see him fight.

u make the call biotchez!
