Looking Forward to the Pacquiao – Cotto Match

It’s exactly a week before the ‘Firepower’ match between Filipino boxer Manny Pacquiao and Puerto Rico’s Miguel Cotto. The fight will be held on November 14 at the MGM Grand Garden arena in Las Vegas, Nevada. The winner will lay claim to Cotto’s WBO welterweight crown.

Next week, the Philippines will once again grind to a halt to watch the Pacman work his magic in the ring. It’s always fascinating to me how Pacquiao can single-handedly bring such peace and quiet to the entire country. He inspires many who have put the hope of national renown on his shoulders.

Time Magazine has acknowledged how special Pacquiao is to Filipinos and to the world of boxing. The popular boxer is on the cover of the issue that’s coming out this weekend (sneak peek at Starmometer). He looks pretty fierce in that cover, eh?

The Philippines has been through a rough time recently, with the string of typhoons and resulting flooding. We need a bit of good news to make people smile again. We are looking to Manny for that little ray of sunshine.

Good luck, Manny!
