Months after his retirement, the Filipino Champ Manny “Pacman” Pacquiao is back and ready to dance one last time, as he squares off against the much younger Jessie Varga
And common to Filipinos is how everything just slows down on the day that Manny fights.
Facebook Live has become a huge success in the Philippines as it caters to many needs and wants of Filipinos.
For those who cannot afford cable television to watch the big fight, many fan pages are now live streaming the fight. The Facebook Live is being broadcast to other Facebook users from inside the Thomas and Mack Center.
As of posting, the live stream is now featuring the co-main event which is the fight of Nonito Donaire where he will defend his title as WBO Super Bantamweight Champion against the undefeated challenger Jessie Magdaleno.
A Pacquiao victory against Vargas will not only cement his legacy in boxing, as he has long done that, but will only prove himself as a new class of his own – a lawmaker who delivers haymakers.
At the age of 37, he is the only boxer to win world titles in 8 different weight classes.
The moment he steps into the ring to face his younger and taller opponent, Pacquiao will make the record books as the first senator to be inside the ring.
Beating Vargas and winning the title will also make him the first senator to become a world champion.
“I want to set another record in the history of boxing as the first senator and champion,” Pacquiao, trying to stretch his good years inside the ring, said up on stage during Friday’s official weigh-in at the Encore Theater of Wynn Hotel.
“It will mean a lot because it will be a big honor for my country,” the senator said.
