MANNY PACQUIAO blew into town yesterday, treated like a conquering hero even if a controversial draw in his match against Mexican Juan Manuel Marquez on Sunday left him without a world title to cement his claim to being the best featherweight boxer in the globe.
Pacquiao and his party, which included wife Jinkee, business manager Rod Nazario and US-based promoter Murad Muhammad, arrived at an ungodly hour at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport Terminal II in a Philippine Airlines flight from Las Vegas via Vancouver.
