Bob Arum: "I have never ever seen anything like the adulation that he's treated by Filipinos in the Philippines and all over the world. That's something that even Ali never really had, that type of frenzy with 90 million people in the Philippines and 11 million Filipino people around the world. As far as Oscar's concerned, Oscar was popular in the United States," stated promoter Bob Arum as he spoke about the world-wide popularity of 6-division world champion Manny Pacquiao during a conference call with the media earlier today. Having worked with several boxing icons throughout the years, Arum compared Pacquiao's fame to that of Muhammad Ali and Oscar De La Hoya, giving the nod to the Filipino superstar over his counterparts." - fighthype.com
