Manny Pacquiao, a big credit to US Senator Reid's victory

US Senate Majority Floor Leader and Bob Arum's Friend Harry Reid has won his fifith term as a Senator for Nevada State, after a fierce challenge from Republican candidate Sharron Angle.

Prior to Tuesday's polls, Senator Reid was uncertain about his chances for reelection, as challenger Sharron Angle threatened to pull away in several election survey results.

Filipino boxing superstar MAnny Pacquiao flew to Las Vegas last Thursday on invitation from his fellow politician and U.S. Senator Harry Reid.

Pacquiao's promoter Bob Arum, who is a friend of Senator Reid said the Filipino champ's presence at the Reid rally could influence a sizable Filipino-American community and help tilt the balance in favor of the Democratic Senate president, who has been facing the fight of his political life.

Fanhouse's reports:

"That was a great thing that Manny did for Harry, who is a very dear friend of mine. I think that Harry is really important to this country and that he has gotten really such a bad rap because of all of these Tea Party people," said Top Rank Promotions' CEO, Bob Arum. "So, you know, I explained to Manny what Harry stands for, and that's what Manny stands for, and so they really bonded together well."

"Manny Pacquiao and I came from different parts of the world, but we came on the same side of the street," Reid said of Pacquiao, who is being interviewed by 60 Minutes for a feature that will be aired on Nov. 8, the Sunday prior to his bout with Margarito.

"Manny fights for those who cannot fight for themselves," said Reid. "It's not enough to fight yourself. It's not enough to want to be a champion. We want to be champions for others." 

Bob Arum must be very pleased with Senator Harry Reid's reelection and knew Pacquiao played an important role in his friend's election victory.

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid gives a victory speech during a Democratic election party Tuesday at Aria.

Senator Reid is expected  to acknowledge Manny Pacquiao's role in his election victory as soon as his victory officially proclaimed.
