Message from Manny Pacquiao November 19, 2009
Nov 19, 2009
Now that I have celebrated my victory in Vegas and in Los Angeles I am just really looking forward to celebrating with my Country and all my Filipino fans. I am flying home today and can not wait to enjoy the parade and an all the people that come out to cheer the victory.
I understand that a lot of people want to know if I want to fight Floyd Mayweather. The truth is of course I do. But right now I do not want to focus on that. I want to enjoy my victory as it was the hardest fight I have ever been in. Man could Cotto hit hard. My ear and eyes are still healing from some of the hard blows. Once I am done celebrating this victory and resting with my family my promotional company will have my next fight all planned out for me and whoever the fighter is I will want to fight them. I understand Floyd wants to start talking about it now, but he fought a month ago, so he has had time to celebrate, to relax. If the Mayweather fights happens with my promotions company it will be my biggest fight ever and I will be ready and be very happy to fight Floyd Mayweather Jr., but only if the terms are right and that is something for my promotions company to handle not me.
I wanted to give a special thank you to all my fans on mpboxing.com and mannypacquiao.ph thank you for all your support a special thank you to Rocky "Sylvestor Stallone" for wishing me luck right before the fight. I love using that song walking in, as Rocky is one of my hero's and his movies really inspired me to become the person I am today.

Good work manny, you the greatest!
you know manny i love to watch you fight and the whole world loves you. the speed dazzles me , the foot and the power is amazin.
but i love you more as you are a good human being - you are like the icon of the ordinary man. i admire you the way you take care of your family and the way you live and your nice humility. i often tell my kids about you
i also care for you. i am an old man compared to u manny. people will always be jealous of you but know the majority of the people in the world love you. perhaps 1 more fight with mayweather and i want you to quit and have a nice life and enjoy time with your wife and kids.
i wrote this letter to you and i have never written a letter to anyone because you impress me as a human being and also as a par excellence fighter . love to u and to your family. i pray that you win and i know you will defeat mayweather - trust me
god bless you my phillipino brother
thanks for all the memories

Manny, you are a Filipino Hero as long as you always put your feet on the ground. Ability has put you there on top. It's character that will keep you there. Good luck and more power. May God and all the forces be with you always.
