THE second coming of American promoter Murad Muhammad to the Philippines is a visit of extreme significance as this would serve as Manny Pacquiao?s springboard to generate popularity in the United States as overwhelming as what the Filipino boxing superstar enjoys at the moment in his native homeland.
Muhammad is set to arrive in the country today along with an HBO crew that will shoot footage of Pacquiao and his fans. Their RP sojourn is part of the promotional aspect for Pacquiao?s forthcoming mega-fight against IBF and WBA featherweight champion Juan Manuel ?Dinamita? Marquez on May 8 either in Los Angeles or Las Vegas.
In a presser he sent to several boxing websites, Muhammad stated he is ecstatic about the HBO filming, so the fans in the US can see how popular Pacquiao is in his native country, a stark contrast to the crowd?s response when Pacquiao visited New York City last month.
