LOS ANGELES?There is more at stake rather than just the boxing titles and belts for Manny Pacquiao and Juan Manuel Marquez, as Latino fans have made their presence and influence felt this early.
Pacquiao definitely hurt Latino pride when he humiliated one of their best sons last November, knocking out Mexican boxing Hall of Fame shoo-in Marco Antonio Barrera in 11 rounds.
Seeing they have an excellent chance to avenge that defeat, South American fans have installed Mexican Marquez as the new 8-6 favorite.
Pacquiao has claimed to have turned into a ?Latino champion? after his demolition of Barrera, earning friends and mortal enemies from such statements.
