In Defense For The Filipino

I would like to ad this. For what it's worth. I think miles and a few others who gave Manny a chance to prove himself and slowly respected him as a fighter are very classy. Kudos to you Miles. Now we will see if Manny continues to be a douche. I do not blame you and others as well, Manny brought this to himself.

I was always wary of Manny because he kept fighting people I liked and to cap it all off would then go on to beat them or at the least get the result in his favour. So, I wasn't keen on Manny for a long while, though I did enjoy seeing him beat up DLH. After the Cotto fight, I just thought "to hell with it it. If you can't beat them, join them". I was on board for this fight and hoping we would see something spectacular, but unfortunately it all seems to be off over something that on the surface doesn't seem to be all that complicated an issue.

Pac has acted like a surly child who simply refuses to play ball. It doesn't seem to matter that he lets down all the fans and in the process is turning his nose up at a massive paycheck. It's a shame really and makes Manny look like a bit of a git.

before hand, great post titleist. and for whoever said filipino doesnt have the height for basketball must have forget who spud webb and mugsy bogues was and how tall they were.

anyway.. miles i do agree that pac has acted like a child by refusing. i dont argue that. i know that his dignity was questioned there and you have to understand the filipino culture about dignity pride. and im not saying its right or wrong. but back home people could get killed because of accusations. its very caveman-like but when you try to question somebodys reputation it comes out as an insult esepcially if you dont have proof. i dont know but most filipinos who have lived in the philippines would back me up on this that even in commercial ads on tv you cannot use the name of the other brand. here in the states and maybe there in england comparisons on certain brands could be harsh. example is "dodge has better fuel consumption than honda and toyota". back home it will be like " toyota is a better car than brand X and brand Y"

Thanks Josef. Yes, you cannot use the name of the competitors brand. Filipinos are very sensitive about those kind of things.
