Manny Pacquiao Loyalists In Massive Backlash: Paclanders Petition Promoter Arum, Threaten Boycott Of Humberto Soto Bout!

To: Mr. Bob Arum CEO Top Rank Promotions I am writing you this letter on behalf of millions of Paclanders around the world, frequenting the website www.mannypacquiao.ph, to protest your appalling decision of pitting the recognized Pound for Pound King Manny Pacquiao against the unsuitable fighter Humberto Soto. Such ill-considered proposal will leave nothing but a huge backlash from us writers and fans which will severely worsen your already damaged reputation as a Pacquiao promoter who promotes terrible Pacquiao fights. Who wants a Pacquiao-Soto fight? Nobody except you. We respect your position as the decision maker of Manny Pacquiao’s fights but what we can’t decipher is the fact that Nate Campbell himself, a triple world lightweight champion, even offered to drop the Joan Guzman bout which by the way, is not yet a done deal, in favor of Manny Pacquiao. Moreover, pitting Pacquiao against Soto who just lost and holds no championship belt is absolutely shocking! Again, we don’t make the decisions but we’d like to remind you on who’s bringing the pay per view numbers. If you’d like to know where we’re coming from, have a look at the following links:

Any fighter EXCEPT Humberto Soto is enough to get your pay per view numbers up and running again. We urge you to reconsider your decision. Best Regards, Maxwell Evans www.mannypacquiao.ph
