Legacy matters to Manny Pacquiao fans worldwide

Bob Arum went on record stating that “nobody in the US’ cares whether Manny Pacquiao fights Miguel Cott for the WBO welterweight title on Nov. 14.

That inspired me, based on a reader’s suggestion, to call for a Pacquiao and a Cotto Fan Roll Call at my email address of mlcmarley@aol.com.

I only asked those supporting Pacman-Cotto as a world title bout, giving Megamanny a chance to garner a record seventh weight division title, to give name and where they reside.

Maybe “nobody in the US” cares about this issue but I’ve had thousands of responses in a few short hours and they come from all over the world.

News Flash to Arum: to Pacquaio's ardent fans, legacy matters.

Here are some of pugilistic precincts which are demanding Packy-Cotto have the belt on the line:

Cebu, RP

San Diego

Miami

Jersey City, NJ

Singapore

South Africa

Saudi Arabia

Dubai, UAE

Wicklow, Ireland

Metro Manila

Davao City, RP

Toronto

Perth, Australia

West Valley City, Utah

Columbus, Ohio

Waxhaw, North Carolina

Taiwan

What do you think of that, Uncle Bob?

But “nobody cares” right?

Last time I checked, North Carolina, Utah, Ohio, Florida and California had not seceded from the Union.

Keep those emails coming to mlcmarley@aol.com, mark them ‘ROLL CALL’ and give your name and where you live.

The fight goes on! the crusade continues!

Btw, my fellow Examiners are cordially invited to participate as are boxing scribes anywhere, especially the Pinoy stalwarts. Paging Messrs. Giongco, Lagumbay, Trinidad, Cordero and all the rest.

The more the merrier.
