Speaking of supporters.. I guess so. Manny is making his name around the world, because people (boxing fans) love a boxer aside from the way he fight, the aggressiveness & the excitement but also of being humble person. In fact he used to pray for strength & safety to both of them fighters before the bout begins. That's the prayer of Manny once he stepped in to the ring. Not like other bigheaded boxers keep on talking than doing into the spotlight. And for other's info. Philippines had Elorde, Navarette, Espinosa, Penalosa etc. former world champions who received also a big support from their fellow countrymen. And ofcourse Manny is famous in their country but they don't have only him. Some promising & arising boxers such as Jaka, Villoria, Z Gorres, Bobby Pacquiao, Tunacao & Boom Boom Bautista that will try to create their own names.

Pretty Boy ~
In my opinion, It seems that Manny has the weight of a nation on his shoulders. He has a very strong fan base and has been ruled a "National Treasure" by the government. He is his country's biggest star, even more popular the the President of his country.
Morales isn't anywhere near as popular as Manny due to the fact that there are many more fighters of high quality coming from Mexico, Barrera, Arci, Marquez Brothers, Chavez and so many more that the fight fans have plenty to choose from when the good people of the Philippines only have Manny.
Thanks for the question Pretty Boy.

Pacquiao's got more supporters than El Terrible. People likes to see boxers who are exciting to watch and fast and that's what Manny has.

Try to look who is at top of the yahoo overall searches... Today, Novermber 20, Manny is ranked 9, while Morales is nowhere in the top 20. More people are even searching for Pacquiao than Katie Holmes, Jessica Simpson and Tom Cruise... wahahaha! Incredible!
