MANILA, Philippines – Floyd Mayweather Jr. ended his short but joyful visit to the Philippines on Saturday and headed to Tokyo for the sixth stop of an ongoing campaign embracing his fans around the world. “He loved his stay here,” said Wendell Cunanan, a Filipino who was with the 41-year-old Mayweather during his entire stay. A meeting with his Filipino counterpart, Manny Pacquiao, did not materialize even when during his stay in short stay in Davao the two boxing legends were just an hour apart. “I’m very appreciative of all the Filipino fans. “I’ve heard so many great things about your country but I’m here to see for myself,” Mayweather said in his arrival speech.
