Ajay's Writings on the Wall » Miguel Cotto

And the winner for round one is… Team Jinkee!

I hate this Manny-Krista-Jinkee thing. It’s even outshadowing Pacman’s historic brutal bruising of the Sydney Olympian Miguel Cotto.Me and my friends and everyone else just can’t help but talk about it.

I still believe the Pacman-Krista affair wouldn’t have been blown out of proportion if only they possessed one thing that celebrity public figures should always be conscious about: discretion.

Pinoys will always love the underdog, and public sympathy appears to be tilted now towards Pacman’s aggrieved wife who’s stood by him through dimes and diamonds, Secosana and Chanel. In fact, the whole situation has given rise to an unofficial group called Team Jinkee.

Coming in a close second to Team Pacquiao, Team Jinkee stands for long-suffering, ‘martyr’ Filipina wives who have to endure the pitfalls of marriage in a macho, male-dominated society like the Philippines.

In happier times: Jinkee Pacquiao, Manny, her sister, and identical twin sister Janet. ~~How true that Pacman also dated the other twin?~~

The next question is: how will l’affaire Krista, if it continues, affect Mr. Pacquiao’s political stock? Or even that of Matt Ranillo? How about the box office earnings of forthcoming Manny-Krista starrer Wapakman? This early, rabid Team Jinkee members are calling for a boycott of anything that’s K-related.

We think that getting even is the best revenge, and Jinkee should just tell her boxer-husband this:

“Manny, I’ve had enough of your womanizing. I’ve had enough of talks between you and Krista.

“I will now go shopping. For a YACHT. With a boytoy in it.”

The tale of the tape is complete after today’s weigh-in of the Philippines’ pride, Manny ‘Pacman’ Pacquiao and Puerto Rican Miguel Cotto in Las Vegas. Am sure everyone’s waiting with bated breath for the outcome of the much-awaited fight. And am sleeping early to catch it at 8 a.m. tomorrow, November 15, Manila time The tale of the tape (pre-fight measurements) show Cotto is taller, younger and heavier, but never underestimate the speed and the power of Pacquiao.

Pacquiao vs Cotto : what people are saying

ajay — Fri, 13 Nov 2009 14:48:37 +0000

A few more winks and the greatest Firepower fight on the planet will commence. Here are some quotable quotes gathered from news sources:

Pacquiao on Cotto: I feel stronger at this weight than I ever have. My punches are harder, my speed is intact. I keep getting warned about Cotto’s body attack but Cotto should be worried about my body attack.

Cotto on Pacquaio: I’m prepared for the speed of Manny. My hand speed is pretty equal to Manny’s. But can Manny’s power equal Miguel Cotto’s on Saturday night? I know what I’m capable of doing, and there is no doubt in my mind that I’m going to win this fight.

Pacquiao trainer Freddie Roach: “We’re in great shape for the fight.”

Cotto trainer Joe Santiago: ” Good luck Manny, you’re going to need it.”

US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton on who will win the Pacquiao-Cotto fight: “Of course the Pacman’s going to win. I mean, is there any doubt?

Manny Pacquiao on Krista Ranillo: “No comment”

Money for The Manny. God bless the star of Philippine boxing!
