VIDEO: Las Vegas Crowd Roars as They Welcome Manny Pacquiao to the Arena

The return of Manny Pacquiao brought the whole boxing family to their feet. Just before the legend made his way to the ring, the entire T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas witnessed a record-breaking attendance, who were constantly cheering for ‘Pac-Man’.

After almost 763 days of inactivity, Pacquiao’s return to action was massive. Furthermore, the crowd channeled the energy through their support. It seemed that most of the crowd was there for Manny Pacquiao, while Yordenis Ugas was just there as an opponent. Nevertheless, Vegas also had some legitimate fans of the Cuban boxer. However, Manny Pacquiao clearly had a bulk of the crowd support.

Following a few gruesome encounters in the undercard, the stage was built well for an intriguing headliner. Meanwhile, fans expanded the aura by chanting ‘Manny Manny’ just after the national anthem of the Philippines. Organizers didn’t play the Cuban national anthem, which was apparently Ugas’ request.

The 17,438 strong crowd at the T-Mobile Arena cheered their hearts out and provided massive energy to the fight night and the main event. While the crowd did their part with energetic cheering, the in-ring affair expanded that energy even more. Here’s a look at it.
