Can Pacquiao finanlly make the Philippines #1 in the world at something?!

From here on out, World Jr. Lightweight champion Manny Pacquiao (46-3-2, 35 KO) is playing for the icing. Only 29 years old, win or lose, he’s at the point in his career where all of the accolades a fighter can dream about are already in hand. He is considered a god by many Filipinos around the world and is a World champion in three weight classes (112, 126, 130) with another title to boot at 122.

Pacquiao (46-3-2, 34 KOs), from General Santos City, Philippines, boxing's No. 1 pound-for-pound fighter, attempts to become the first Asian to win four sanctioned world titles in as many different divisions, when he challenges Diaz (34-1-1, 17 KOs), from Chicago, for his title, tonight at Mandalay Bay Resort & Casino in Las Vegas.

Pacquiao vs. Diaz pay-per-view telecast, beginning at 9 p.m. ET / 6 p.m. PT. (June 28)
