Business Insider knows the way just to sneak through a maze-like path into the heart of a champion’s fame and ingenious disposition. One of the recent articles of the journal revealed how pound-for-pound king Manny Pacquiao and currently a member of the House of Representatives of the Republic of the Philippines, is being looked up by people from all walks of life today and yesterday, whether 2 or 92 as one of the most influential and legendary sports personality in the modern era. What’s spectacular is that, Business Insider also noted that despite the popularity of boxing among sports aficionados and enthusiasts is clearly on unsteady ground and is in danger to hit rock bottom and in need of a little cement, still, a fighter and a legend has the ability to stop time, even the crime rates in the day of his fight, lighten traffic, change the course of the rapidly plummeting popularity of the sport, and glue people to their seats, biting their nails and howling at every punch and turns whenever there is a boxing fight. Manny Pacquiao, of all people.
Don’t you think it’s weird that during the inauguration of a president of the Philippines, people usually resume with what they are doing, others still do the laundry and ironing while glancing at the television screen. Traffic is as heavy and congested as before, and crime rates take its toll. But take Manny Pacquiao and another good fighter to bout in rule the boxing ring and you’ll be just fine. Lesser crime rates, cleaner streets, less congested traffic, and people would stay put on their seats, lamenting at every commercial break, groaning at every hit and miss, like they too are part of the fight. That’s what you call awesome!
The journal also did not miss how the so-called People’s Champ could fill out football stadiums and gigantic gymnasiums with people who want to see the fight on big screen big time, like a cool pay per view. He jam packs arenas and for that reason, he is a reputed bankable athletes the world has ever known. Ruthless politician too. While everyone is anxious, awaiting the mega fight between him and haughty Floyd Mayweather Jr., he still showed off his flair, ran for Congress and produced a number of films. That’s multi-tasking, magnified! And to complete his seemingly busy and perfect life, he even launched music albums, updating his curriculum vitae every now and then with his accomplishments outside the ring. Can other fighters do these things at the same time? Maybe not now, maybe never later. Nothing rocks like the People’s Champ.
