Pound-for-pound superstar Manny Pacquiao will lead an elite cast of Filipino world and international titleholders at the Elorde Banquet of Champions during the sixth Gabriel "Flash" Elorde Memorial Awards slated March 25 at the Dusit Hotel Nikko.
Pacquiao, whose wins over legendary Mexicans Marco Antonio Barrera and Erik Morales have earned him worldwide acclaim as one of the most popular boxers of the planet, will receive the Boxer of the Year award, the supreme honor given to the country's most outstanding boxer in 2005.
This is the fifth time Pacquiao will be accorded the highest
boxing honor. Two more awards will automatically catapult him into the Elorde Boxing Hall of Fame, a revered place for outstanding boxers who had reigned for seven years in the international arena.
Flash Elorde, in whose honor the Awards are held, held the world junior lightweight title for seven years, from 1960 to 1966.
The Elorde Memorial Awards is presented by Johnny Elorde
Management International and the Gabriel "Flash" Elorde Foundation to honor top Filipino boxers and those who contributed to the promotion of professional boxing during the year.
"Major awards will also be presented to Filipino world ,
international and national champions, while special citations will be conferred on the year's best promoter, best manager, trainer, referee and judge, most promising boxer and best fight of the year", said Liza Elorde,
daughter in law of the Flash who is overseeing this event.
The Elorde clan, led by the legend's wife Laura Elorde, will be
on hand to present the various awards.
The event is sponsored by Philippine Amusements & Gaming Corp.,
Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office, Family Rubbing Alcohol, Smart, San Miguel Corp., Casa Belrina Travel, Johnson & Johnsons, Bai & Mig Party Favors and Elorde Sports Center.
