Vancouver, Canada (June 28, 2009) – During the short layover of this PAL PR 106 flight from Manila to Las Vegas, this boxing photojournalist recounts when the PacMan paid New York City a weekend visit to receive an award and watch the fight of welterweights Miguel Cotto vs. Joshua Clottey at the Madison Square Garden, the Mecca of boxing. Manny “PacMan” Pacquiao and lovely wife Jinkee, along with Adviser Mike Koncz & Lawyer Franklin Gacal, flew into John F. Kennedy International Airport arriving at 3:20 pm via Northwest Airlines from Philippines by way of Narita, Japan.
Although showing signs of jet lag, Pacquiao took time to sign autographs and pose for pictures with awaiting fans, some of them coming from far away places. Inside the elevator, a fan carrying a pair of signed boxing gloves asked him, “When will you fight ‘Money’ Floyd Mayweather?” Wearing dark sunglasses, the PacMan looked his way and managed to give out a smile. The PacMan countered teasingly, “He might kick my (behind) butt.” Although he said it in jest, everyone inside the elevator disagreed. The fan from Florida exclaimed, “You’re gonna whip his _ss (behind) and I can’t wait to watch that!” Laughter ensued. The PacMan and his group were taken to St. Regis Hotel in Manhattan on a black, stretched limousine.
