Manny Pacquiao was received this afternoon by Ney González, the governor of the state of Nayarit, in a ceremony also attended by Mexican promoter Fernando Beltran. Pacquiao, who is enjoying a pleasant holiday with his family, said he’s happy to be in Mexico for the first time and appreciates the hospitality the Mexican people have had for him and his family. Manny will return home this week to get ready to assume his post as a congressman in his native Philippines.
Wearing the jersey of the Mexican soccer team, Pacquiao said he is rooting for Mexico in the World Cup competition that starts this Friday.
“Mexico is like my second country. The Mexican fans have always supported me in my great fights and the least I can do is thank them and support the Mexico team,” stated the Philippine icon.

So if Manny is so in love with Mexico then he will have his next fight in Mexico City, right? Oh that’s right, he will want to get paid so he will go to Vegas. Got to love the American dollar, eh?
