Filipino Boxer and consensus Pound for Pound king, Manny “The Pacman” Pacquiao has decided to attend the BWAA Awards in New York after he said earlier that he was not going to attend the awards in which he was to be presented with the prestigious “Fighter of the Year” award and instead spend time on vacation with his family. As reported by Ronnie Nathanielsz of BoxingScene.com Manny Pacquiao Decides To Attend BWAA Awards in NY. Bob Arum insisted that Pacquiao reconsider and fly out immediately to avoid any media backlash because the American media has been very good to Manny and that it would be a sign of disrespect to not attend the awards because “In the whole history of the awards there has never been a fighter that hasn’t shown up” to accept the award.
With Manny Pacquiao you never know what he is going to do next just like the baseball slugger Manny Ramirez of the Dodgers, Pacman always sparks some controversy, Is this is just Manny being Manny?
