Right wing motormouth Rush Limbaugh is at a loss for words. Tiger Woods has an unplayable lie because he’s stuck in deep sand. Mexican billionaire Carlos Slim is a pobrecito.
Lance Armstrong’s bike just skidded into a ditch. It’s a huge error charged to ballplayer and happy hooker employer Alex Rodriguez. Even the Dalai Lamai is looking for real wisdom.
Oprah Winfrey has been so tuned out she’s probably gone on an eating binge.
The ascension of the world’s most popular boxer and I dare say the most socially significant athlete in any sport continues in the Time magazine “100 Most Influential” poll.
There’s still time, Pacmaniacs, to make your voice heard. As I’ve written before on Boxingconfidential.com and Examiner.com, the idea is to vote day and night. The extra boost for Megamanny comes when you take the influence level meter and ratchet it up to the maximum setting for 100.
Time magazine and the poll can be found at www.time.com.
I guess my column woke up Pacquiao promoter Bob Arum because the Top Rank honcho immediately ordered flack Fred Sternburg to send out a press release about the electoral push.
Please excuse Arum as he's been busy getting his bulletproof clothing ready for his JC Chavez Jr. "Latin Fury" show in the combat zone of Tijuana, Mexico.
Sternburg credited both Boxingconfidential.com and Examiner.com for leading the way, comparing both sites to the lanterns which lit the way for American patriot Paul Revere.
“The battle cry is vote today, vote tomorrow and the day after that vote Manny,” the Denver-based publicist said "I am alerting every village and farm worldwide on this."
Last time I checked, minutes ago, the Pinoy idol was at 93,544 votes and the 100,000 vote mark is an open basket for the pride of the Philippines.
He's Lucky #13 on the list of noted personalities.
More importantly, Manny’s influence level has hit 18 which puts him the same upper echelon as California Gov. Arnie Schwarznegger. The star of “Kindergarten Cop” has more than double the votes Pacman has but the two are tied at the 18 mark in influence.
Right in front of Arnie is a Washington resident named Barack Obama. Got to say the president and the governor are in good company with Da Pacman.
Can't be long before MP says "hasta la vista, baby" to the Golden State Governator.
Pity Oprah. Proving that money isn’t everything, the TV and magazine maven has more total votes than Megamanny (97,082) but has a how low can you go influence level of six.
So who’s in front of Pacman I see a lot of candidates who Manny can put in his rear view mirror if you, the faithful start clicking like crazy.
Political maverick Ron Paul is ranked high as are TV comics Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert. Do you think any of that trio is more important or more influential than Pacman? Don’t make me laugh.
South Korena pop star Rain is ranked high as is American rap music figure T-Pain. If Pacquiao gets a big push now, he should be able to leave those and tartlet Britney Spears eating Pinoy smoke.
How impressive is Pacman’s showing so far? In a word awesome.
President Barack Obama is ranked 11th but his influence rating is only one point more than the prizefighter’s.
Let’s not rest on our laurels, people. Let’s get back to clicking.
(Michael Marley owns and operates Paccentric boxing website, www.boxingconfidential.com. He also supported Manny in his losing political race against Darling Darlene.)
For Pacman news of all kinds, I heartily recommend www.mannypacquiao.com, www.philboxing.com and the relatively new site (new to me, anyway)
This is a huge issue and tells that pacman really influence many people, hopefully some issues regarding his life style and decision making won't affect his influence, I may also predict that he may be on top of all.
