    the main reason why pacquiao is like God-like in his country is because they don't have any sports stars there! if the philippines had multiple megasports stars, do you think he'd be as popular as he is now? of course he wouldn't. those poor people, until now, had nobody to cheer for. it's good that pacquiao arrived in the philippines because that was basically a dead country, sports wise.

    here in the U.S., we can pick from hundreds of sports stars in baseball, hockey, football, boxing, basketball and others. boxing isn't a mainstream sport here anymore. boxers like mike tyson, muhammad ali, oscar, sugar ray leonard are household names and pacquiao will never have the popularity of these four boxers. the only ones who know pacquiao here are boxing fans and his filipino fans. maybe pacquiao is more recognized in asia, big deal! the U.S. is the mecca of boxing and this is where popularity counts the most because this is where the biggest fans live and where the boxing money is.

    i feel like you are looking down at filipinos. pac isnt the only one who had brought pride to the philippines.

    Bowler Rafael "Paeng" Nepomuceno, for being the "Greatest Filipino Athlete of All Time", "Athlete of the Century", and "International Bowling Athlete of the Millennium"; for receiving the prestigious International Olympic Committee (IOC) President's Trophy; for winning over 100 tournaments, including four World Cups and two other prestigious international titles; for winning an Asiad gold medal; and for still being an active player

    Shooter Jethro "the Jet" Dionisio, for being considered the world's fastest shooter and for being a six-time world champion in pistol shooting; and for still being an active player

    Billiard player Efren "Bata" Reyes, for being declared as the best billiard player of all time; for winning the World 8-Ball championship five times; for clinching the 1999 World 9-Ball title; for winning over 100 international tournaments; and for still being an active player
    the philippines also has the best pool players in the world.

    there are tons of athletes here in the philippines that is doing great worldwide.


    now going back to the topic, pac is not as popular as odlh. looks plays a huge factor too and pac is nowhere near as handsome as odlh.

    When Oscar lost his fans were still behind him. They still loved him and his haters still hated him. When Pac loses you will see a drop big time. Especially on this forum and many other forums where Pac Land obsessions rave an rant on the internet. Most of his fans will diminish and 20yrs from now he will just be like Barry Bonds with a huge asterisk.....if not for roids...for beating people on there way out. Maybe a *Catch Weight / Weight Drain Asterisk. (: Can't wait to see his little lovers come to his defense in about 30 seconds lol

    Both are Philippine citizens but only Lincecum carries the Pnoy bloodline.
