Manny Pacquiao’s Twitter Account


So what is really Manny Pacquiao’s twitter account? There was once the @CongMP, created in February 2011, which was said to be his verified account until it was deleted a month later because of some buzz and boos that did not sit well with the boxing champ. I wasn’t able to follow the tweets of @CongMP but I’ve read news about the controversial tweets.

Some criticized his grammar. Others took a swipe at his online behavior. Others demand that he should focus on his job as a lawmaker. Well, there must be cheers for him too. But when you are not that adept with twitter and you read the messages, especially those that mention you, you will somehow get lost in the conversation. Who says what? Who should I reply to?

Mayweather vs Mosley fight at the MGM Grand this May 1, 2010 is fast approaching. We only have to count a few days, and then we will witness the realization of all the hypes behind this mega-encounter. Will it be better than the Pacquiao vs Clottey fight?

To begin with, the Pacquiao fight against Clottey was a dull one. One was firing punches, while the other hit cover. One was showing excellent footwork and boxing moves, the other just stood still. It wasn’t the match we hoped to see. After the final bell rang, 95% didn’t even want to hear the announcement. They already knew the result.
