MANNY Pacquiao will lose to Miguel Cotto if he will not train seriously and correctly, and if he keeps on receiving more product endorsements.

A defeat might restore some of Pacman’s past hunger and desire, which were understandably whittled away by all the riches and the adulation that he has received.

Excuses will not be made, at least publicly, as Manny will “Manny Up” and blame himself for getting nicked.

One, two or even three in his inner circle will get the axe but not Michael Koncz, who has a “Velcro like” attachment to Da Bossman Pacman.

Freddie Roach will tone down his preflight act and skip the insane KO 1 predictions next time.

All the beautiful women and movie actresses in the Philippines and the OFW’s will cry an ocean of tears. I hereby volunteer to give comfort and aid to Ara Mina and Angel Loc sin.

Pinoy men around the world will curse and gnash their teeth in anguish.

The children will wail because they won’t understand it all.

The elderly will think it’s the End of Days as predicted not by Roach but in the Bible.

Pacquiao will have a chance to write his awesome comeback chapter in the ring.

Cotto will wonder why, having beaten Manny Pacquiao and defied both the betting odds and the pundits, his “star” doesn’t shine as brightly. Why it is not as luminous as Manny’s.

Cotto will learn that beating the Manny won’t make him the Manny….

If the unlikely event will happen, Bob Arum will force a rematch with Cotto even if the Puerto Rican has another option.

The rematch will smash all box office and PPV records.

But, above all Manny Pacquiao will still be a Pinoy Idol and an international sports icon.
