I was talking to my friend, boxing writer Ryan Songalia of BoxingScene.com when he brought up the idea of "Manny Pacquiao should dedicate his fight against Margarito to abused women". At first the thought sounds like a simple and clever way for Pacquiao to get back at and shame Floyd Mayweather Jr. who is facing domestic charges, for all the trash talk he has unleashed against the newly elected Congressman of Saranggani Province. But as I delved deeper into the issue, I started to seriously say to myself, "why not?"
Boxers have had a very highly publicized violence against women rap. Without going too deep into it, fighters like Arturo Gatti and Edwin Valero have been involved in domestic violence which ended in tragedy. Abuse against women should not be tolerated in any society and boxers of all people should not be involved in such acts of violence.
If Mayweather as well as his uncle and trainer Roger Mayweather who is also charged with assault against one of his former female boxers Melissa St. Vil, are indeed proven guilty of charges filed against them, they should be penalized for it fully. Pacquiao on the other hand has not had any history of domestic violence or abuse against women in any form. The 31-year-old Filipino slugger is happily married to his beautiful wife Jinky who is the mother of his four children.
With Pacquiao's history of standing up for worthy causes, this issue should be a 'no brainer'. The Philippine legislator can really help bring attention to this often swept under the rug issue and promote a zero tolerance approach to abuse against women. A true fighter has no business laying his hands on a female. One might wonder, had Mayweather focused more on trying to lay his hands on Pacquiao and making their fight happen, instead of facing jail time and counting days while he is in the slammer, he would be worrying about facing the best southpaw he will ever have faced while counting the millions he will make against him.

Do you remember Jinkee crying in church because Pac broke his vows and cheated on her with other women? Jinkee is obviously an emotionally abused wife....
" Fight for the abused women"? I think it's a very good idea D'Source because all these years Floyd thought of being mentally abused!
IS IT BECAUSE THE MAYWEATHERS HAVE A LIBEL SUIT AGAINST WOMEN THAT'S WHY THEY WANT PACQUIAO TO DEDICATE HIS FIGHT TO ABUSED WOMEN?WHY ONLY NOW?WOMEN ABUSE HAPPENS ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD.GO FIND AN INSTITUTION WHO CAN BE OF USE TO THESE ABUSED WOMEN YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT

dennis can you request bob arum to invite the guiness world record team on pacman/margo fight for pacman's eight weight division title or even the world heritage team for the first man to be inducted being new 8th wonder of the world.
GAGO! KUPAL KA... BAKIT KAYA DIPA MAUBOS ANG LAHI NYO? CGURADO DADAMI PA KAUNG GAGO SA PINAS. TAMAAN KA SANA NG PARUSA SA ITAAS NG MALAMAN MO SINASABI MO.
HINDI SI JINKY YAN.NANAY MO YAN!
SO CHEAP IDEA,DEDICATING A FIGHT TO ABUSED WOMEN.ANY OTHER PLACE TO DEDICATE THIS IDEA?HE SHOULD DEDICATE THE FIGHT TO ALL GREAT BOXERS WHO PASS AWAY.NOT BATTERED WOMEN.WHAT'S THE IDEA?
what do you expect from d'source of cheap ideas
may anak sa labas si manny di ba? pano na yong babae hindi nga nya binohgbog physically parang inabuso na rin nya yon.
este anak,meron ka bang katibayan na me anak sa labas si manny pacquiao?ilabas mo at ng malaman ng buong mundo.kung narinig mo lang yan sa kung kanino,mabuti pang matulog ka na lang at huag ka na mag comment dito.
sa mga taga pasay ka mag tanong. sa mga billiard spotter na kaibigan ni manny. alam yan ni jinki. tapos pagawin mi si manny ng bill para sa diborsyo para magaya sya kay tiger woods. pustahan tayo.
manny won't do it. it's gonna be an insult to his dad who left his mom for other woman.
Hehehe.. nakakaawa talaga ang mga taong walang utak. tsk, tsk..
lalaki ba? eh kung may anak di ba dapat nasa gym na? baka nakuha yung galing ng tatay.

paul williams had already made an issue about battered women on his latest interview on the williams vs martinex presser. that was a swipe on floyd and roger. lol
swerte talaga ni idol pacman... buti pa si pacman natikman puki ni krista ranillo.
ako puki ng manok lang nakatuhog pa sa barbecue stick. hahaha
What!!?? You mean to tell me this is not a novel idea? It's outdated and copied!? I am shocked.
floyd improved his record to 42 and 0 after beating josie harris, great tune up match, easy win for floyd, easy fight.

Not cool... boxing is a blood sport... unless it is something personal to Manny like maybe a death in a family... people will not buy it... perhaps think of this as a gimmick.... or something not worth of giving attention...
will not look genuine. just my 2 cents. cheers
So it waters down the dedication to his countrymen and to Bob Arum's son, RiP? Since he already dedicated it to the memory of John Arum, it would look two-faced to include a subtle jab at the Mayweathers for their vagina bashing.
Excellent point. However, being two-faced does not seem to bother the author. Still can't believe he actually suggested to do this to "shame" floyd. A 10 year old has deeper insights than that. What a wus.
GOOD IDEA. ABUSED WOMEN ISSUE HAD BEEN IGNORED. BUT I WOULD SUGGEST TO DEDICATE THE FIGHT TO ABUSED WOMEN AND CHILDREN. THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF VICTIMS EVERY MINUTE AROUND THE WORLD.
AS A CONGRESSMAN AND THE BEST BOXER OF THE WORLD, HE CAN HAVE A CRUSADE TO STOP AND PROSECUTE THE ABUSIVE PEOPLE.
HE SHOULD TAKE ADVANTAGE TO ANNOUNCE AND DEDICATE THIS ISSUE SINCE THIS FIGHT WILL BE TELEVISED ALL OVER THE WORLD.
Sure. Dedicate a boxing fight to victims of violence while inflicting violence televised worldwide? No. Not a good idea.
Dedicate violence to victims of violence !!! YEHEY
Sounds like a gimmick that will only make him look fake. How about dedicating it to a cause that he really believes in? That's up to him to decide.
According to d'source it's up to him to decide. What's your problem?
Naku, andaming bobong pinoy dito...
Mga walang kwenta mga comments.
.
isa ka na sa mga bobong yon, pinoy ka rin di ba?
Good article dennis d source... you have a free rights to write what article you want. inggit lang yan mga pinoy dyan mga utak talangka yan.
isa ka na doon pinoy ka rin di ba? baka hindi ka lang utak talangka kundi utak alimango, mas malakas manghila yon.
there are bum pinoys who keep throwing trash on all sites making pinoys look bad.
what i want to see is a good fight. one that will be remembered for a long time.
swerte talaga ni idol pacman... buti pa si pacman natikman puki ni krista ranillo.

To Mr. Guillermo wala ka bang paraan na maharang o matanggal ang mga bastos na pahayag patungkol sa asawa ni Pacman? Pagpapakilala ito ng walang paggalang sa ating pambansang kamao at pagbabandila na ang Pilipino ay may ugaling salaula.
