Though they have not entered into the ring, that will have to wait until Saturday night, Manny Pacquiao has won the battle for most popular ring arrival.

Arriving at The MGM Grand in Las Vegas, Nevada on Monday afternoon local time, an approximate 1,000 fans showed up to greet Saturday nights gladiators.

Top Rank Public Relations Representative was quoted as saying that, "about 70 percent of the fans are here to see Pacquiao."

Luckly for Miguel Cotto, boxing is not a popularity contest and the real fight must be won inside the ring.

Thought Manny-Mania may run wild in Las Vegas, Manila, and the Internet, these rabid fans cannot throws punches or evade Cotto's strong left-hook.

The popularity contest ends at approximately 8 P.M. P.S.T. on Saturday night.
