What does boxing have to do with the Internet? Plenty. Just look at the success of Manny Pacquiao, who is the top boxer across six weight divisions and subject of the wildly successful site mannypacquiao.ph, which today notes that Manny has arrived in Las Vegas as he awaits Saturday's bout against Miguel Cotto.
The Houston Boxing Examiner, the Indianapolis Fight Sports Examiner and others have done a great job covering Manny from a sportsman's and boxing history perspective. Let's now take a look at how he has become an Internet phenomenon.
Not withstanding his own site which he already dominates, Manny does a great job marketing himself as well as other fighters from his homeland of the Philippines. Pacland, as it is called, pays homage to many parts of his homeland.
The site also has links to other boxing sites and boxers as well, including PhilBoxing.com, which in and of itself is a great reference to South Pacific boxers.
His site is getting numerous hits due to his upcoming and much-anticipated fight against Cotto. The bout is scheduled for this Saturday (Nov. 14) at 9 p.m. (ET) at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas. It's available via pay-per-view on HBO.
So watch his site, and watch the fight, as it will be one of the best we have seen in a while. Call your cable company provider for cost, availability, etc. And check Manny's site for updates.

i wouldn't say it's the best i've seen if pac does what freddies predicting and knocks him (cotto) out in the first round......which btw i think is highly unlikely to happen
#1floydfan, your floyd on the outside, looking inside! LOL
yeah right floyd/cotto will be wayyyy bigger than pac/cotto....just like delahoya and hatton was.....guaranteeed....but we want pac/mayweather cause that would be the biggest....if only he beat cotto......i don't always get what i want though...so i want be surprised if cotto whips his a $ $
did i forget to mention mayweather/marquez? lol
#1floydfan so much trash talk like you idol Mayweather. You exist too trash talk. How pitiful you are. It seems you don't have friends and love ones, that you only live to spread hatred. You shouldn't be in this site, go to your idol Mayweather internet site. Make a big name there.
Pacman is indeed No. 1 in online hits, I can't even cope up reading all of the links embedded in Pacland coz' it's too numerous!
There's just too much written about him and it seems that writers are not running out of any topics about Manny Pacquiao. This is unprecedented where I believe no other boxers surpassed the internet hits that was generated by the name Manny "Pacman" Pacquiao!
it was unlikely that pacman would stop delahoya too..and hatton..and now its still unlike that pacman will kock cotto out in the first round..maybe not...maybe on the later rounds..or maybe cotto is too strong for him...im excited...
Writers rushing to overtake one another to be publish at pacland or wright-ups on many sites waiting for valuable comments from fans in the internet.wow it's huge.Pacman the most exciting entertainer in boxing.congrats amigo
hatred? is that what you call it? well i call it facts baby
pacman is number 1....go! go! shanghai voted pacman num ber 1
when you hear the name manny pacquiao,the impact of that name travels like the equation of albert einstein,e = mc2 that fast.internet surfers all over the world listens to that name PACQUIAO at a speed of light because boxing afficionados are also lurking over the globe,oh,what a pac, he's so fun to watch.
#1floydfan is like Ellerbe in the "i want muscles" video on you tube
#1floydfan ..whatever.. your such a LOSER .. even floyd himself will disgust you .. LOSER
good luck to both fighters. will be a tough one for manny. cotto will come in much heavier. no way it's a KO in rd1 for manny. expect this to go 8 rounds or more. remember, cotto took massive shots from margarito and lasted 12 rds. margarito had illegal cement gloves on!
Pacman should demand if ever he'll fight Mayweather that Mayweather should remove her skirt & blouse and agree to a winner take all of the purse if ever Pacman is found to be clean and free of any illegal substance in his body.
Got something to say?
