The Paq-man Fever Post of the Week

How do the deaths of Arturo Gatti and Michael Jackson, the leadership style of North Korean dictator Kim Jung IL, the upset of Maidana over Ortiz, Kobe Bryant and a golf game between Oscar De la Hoya and Miguel Cotto all relate to Manny Pacquiao?

Well, we here at the BTBC aren’t too sure either, but somehow, someway Boxingconfidential.com owner and Examiner. com writer, Michael Marley, found a way to tie them all together and file the Pinoy-heavy package under “M” for Manny.

To be honest, Mr. Marley has been writing from a “What would Manny think?” perspective for some time now and using gushing nicknames for Pacquiao like, “Megamanny,” “The Pinoy Idol,” and, a personal favorite, “Humble Superhero.”

It’s only fair that he finally get the recognition that he deserves:

This week we pay homage to the Grandfather of all Pac-man sack-swinging and present the coveted Lifetime Achievement Award in Pacquiao Nut-Huggery to Michael Marley!

Congrats!

In closing, we present Mr. Marley’s epic pièce de résistance, “Michael Marley’s Open Letter to Manny Pacquiao:”

Dear Manny:

It has come to my attention that I need to bring some things to your immediate attention. I do realize you were a little busy, particularly on Saturday night.

Why did you only batter Ricky Hatton for just five minutes 59 seconds, Megamanny?

Were you trying to get over to LA for a quick flight back to Manila?

How did your sainted mother enjoy her first trip to the US?

Please tell her the whole country is not as wild and whacky as Las Vegas.

I hear your religious Mom spent most of the fight on her knees. In that regard, she was just like the overwhelmed Hatton, eh? Your mother was praying and Hatton didn’t have one.

Listen, do not get upset by me calling you the Happy Hooker. It’s nothing tawdry but merely a reflection of your amazingly fast and powerful punches, which Paulie Malignaggi predicted would make Hatton look like a guy stuck in quicksand, and your smiling warrior persona.

Every week The BTBC will bring you the best in outlandish, hyperbole-filled posts made by Manny Pacquiao’s goofiest nut-huggers.
