While watching Mr. Pacquiao absolutely dominate De la Hoya this past weekend, I thought to myself: "is MP the property of American fans as much as he is the property of fans in the PI?"
For instance, is his success in boxing appropriate to be discussed in an Asian American studies class?
I think so? Although he certainly represents the Philippines wherever he may fight, his presence must now extend far beyond the islands and into America. I mean he wins his fights out here? There are just as many fans, both Asian and non Asian, out here in the US. You tell me!?
