GENERAL SANTOS CITY ? The unofficial Manny Pacquiao website got another first by registering 80,000 unique hits on the day the Filipino boxing icon dealt Oscar de la Hoya his most humiliating loss, www.mannypacquiao.ph web designer and owner Dong Secuya said.
It was by far the biggest unique visit to the website since it was created in 2003, months after Pacquiao demolished Marco Antonio Barrera in 11 rounds.
Secuya said the website now ranks among the top five of Internet boxing sites and could well overtake top-runner www.boxrec.com, following Manny's spectacular conquest of De la Hoya, boxing world's biggest draw.
Secuya, who is based in Cebu and a noted website developer, said he created the site as a forum and avenue for avid Filipino boxing fans who have been following the boxing career of the Filipino southpaw.
He later created the www.philboxing.com as a spin-off site to accommodate other Filipino boxers.
Secuya said Pacquiao has revived and sustained fan interests in Philippine boxing as proof of the thousands of forum members in the website.
According to him, at least 20,000 unique visitors are visiting the site on a daily basis and its membership expands beyond Philippine shores.
It has also attracted many noted sports scribes, both local and foreign boxing experts, who are now regularly contributing articles and opinions to the website.
Secuya recently visited General Santos City upon the invitation of Pacquiao who celebrated his 30th birthday on December 17.
The website owner said Pacquiao could still sustain the momentum of revival in the country for the next five years.
"Manny will still be a big draw by following the footsteps of De la Hoya if he plays his card right. He now is on top of the boxing world and its biggest draw," Secuya said.
