Manny Pacquiao chose to not join Floyd Mayweather for grand arrivals at the MGM Grand Hotel & Casino; instead Manny held his own Fan Rally at the Mandalay Bay Hotel and Casino.
It proved to be a great decision because his fans took over the area to show support for their champion.

Las Vegas has a strong Filipino community and Manny’s international supporters have proven to travel extremely well which makes for a great atmosphere at an event like today’s fan rally.
It’ll be interesting to see how many of these Pacquaio fans make it into the arena on Saturday. I’m sure Manny will welcome all the support he can get as he chases history.
