DON?T BE surprised if First Gentleman Mike Arroyo ends up occupying one of the premium ringside seats on the night Manny Pacquiao squares off with Erik “Terrible” Morales at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas on March 19.
Arroyo, whose First Gentleman?s Foundation, is leading the fund-raising drive, said yesterday that he will try his best to support Pacquiao?s quest for boxing immortality by flying to the US and joining the thousands of Filipinos in attendance at the 15,000-seat arena.
“That?s going to be in March ?di ba? Yes, I will keep that in mind. Open ako sa pagpunta dyan,” said Arroyo.
President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo is one of Pacquiao?s main backers and the 26-year-old fighter has even been mentioned in the Chief Executive?s State-of-the-Nation Address in 2003 aside from being able to grace Malaca?ang a number of times following his successful campaigns on American soil.
Pacquiao, who drew with Juan Manuel Marquez and knocked out Fahsan 3K Battery last year, is already in Los Angeles revving up for the biggest fight of his career.
