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.
