Fellow Mindanaoan and world boxing champ Manny Pacquiao is back on the cover of TIME magazine. An article about his rise, fame and everything else in between can also be found in this most recent TIME magazine article about this Filipino boxer and the best pound for pound boxer so far.

Manny “Pacman” Pacquiao is set to face Puerto Rico’s Miguel Cotto on November 14, 2009 at MGM Las Vegas, Nevada. If he wins, this will be Manny’s 7th worth title in different weight classes.

Which reminds me…where will you watch this Pacquiao vs Cotto fight?

Hollywood star, HBO “Entourage” producer and former rapper Mark Wahlberg loves a fellow Mindanaoan, too! This picture clearly shows just how big a fan of Filipino boxing champ Manny “Pacman” Pacquiao Mark Wahlberg is!

Check out the print on Mark’s shirt: “Pacman Knows”

This isn’t the first time I’ve seen Mark openly support the Pambansang Kamao, though. I’ve spotted him on TV doing the red carpet along with Pacquiao.

Thumbs up!

Mindanaoan gani, lahi ra gyud! Another Mindanaoan boxer is the current toast of the boxing world! General Santos City native Marvin “Marvelous” Sonsona recently defeated veteran Jose Lopez in a fight in Canada. Ang get this — Marvelous Marvin Sonsona is just 19 years old! Wow! Which reminds me…Perhaps Marvin should reconsider his boxer name and change it to Marvelous Mindanaoan Marvin Sonsona! Hehe

Lopez is said to be undefeated for 6 years. Unfortunately for him, a Mindanao boxer took up the challenge and…well…the world now knows who’s better

Sonsona, who boxing experts say has powerful southpaw stance, fought in the junior bantamweight division. He defeated Jose Lopez via decision.

AYOS!

Found this video, by the way, courtesy of Queensberry Rules (check out more videos in that site too):

Hopefully, Marvelous Marvin Sonsona’s victory over Jose Lopez will further inspire our government to support local sports and athletes especially those coming from Mindanao, Philippines!

Congratulations to Team Sonsona!

Pacman vs. Golden Boy: Pay Per View Or Not?

Who’s looking forward to the upcoming Manny “Pacman” Pacquiao – Oscar “The Golden Boy” De La Hoya bout as much as my family and I am? Can’t wait to watch the exchange of jabs, hooks and upper cuts on December 6, 2008. The event, which will be held at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, is dubbed the boxing match of the year! Do you think Oscar will win or will the Kibawe, Bukidnon-born Pacman deliver a knockout?

Anyways, as we all know, HBO Pay Per View (PPV) will carry the bout on December 6, 2008. So now I’m a bit confused as to whether or not I should avail of the PPV. The local cable company here in my area is offering its subscribers the PPV service for P700.00 (roughly US$15.50) If I pay on or before November 30, 2008, I only need to shell out P600.00 (roughly US$13.33)

Now the big question is — should I avail of the PPV service or not?

My brother says there’s no need for me to shell out money because there’s always the Internet. We can just check the updates online. However, my mom says we should still avail of the service because there’s nothing like watching the event live. She has a point, too. Still, I’m a bit hesitant because I availed of the Beijing Olympics weeklong live coverage and that wasn’t worth the money at all! Hmm…anyways I still have a few days to ponder on this.

What about you – are you going to watch the Pacquiao – Dela Hoya fight? Who’s your bet?
