Well, I can say that if money is the motivation Ancajas will have more reason why he needed to win and take his belt back, remember that both Pacquiao and Donaire came from the same country where Ancajas originate and that kind of fame and flowing money that he witness after the success of these two legendary fighters, he will do everything to reach whatever possibilities that he has.

Though pride still exists with Pinoy fighters, but they come from poor families who's dreaming of a better life and boxing is the only way they know to improve their lifestyle.

It's really a good fight to watch out, few more weeks and we will see the rematch.

Majority of the Filipinos who go to boxing as a career came from poor families.  Many of them are unable to finish their study making them hard to find a decent office job, so instead of them wasting their talent on some construction sites, they intend to follow the footstep of Manny trying to game fame and riches while giving honor to the country.  Sadly many of them are not as talented as Manny or lucky enough to have a decent manager or promoter.

As for Ancajas, this fight indeed will give him money and if lucky get his title back and have a good chance to fight other popular boxers in his division in his next fight.  From the previous fight, Ancajas can absorb punches from Martinez, it is just he got exhausted in the earlier rounds making him incapable of giving out his full potential.

Yup, almost all Filipino fighters/boxers that we knew today came from slums and sought refuge in boxing to make some money from fights to lift their families from poverty and so that they can put food on their table just like the story of Manny Pacquaio when he was still known as Kid Kulafu. Unfortunately, not all of them managed to build their names in the boxing industry because not everyone was born to be a boxer. While others managed to go halfway through the limelight before they got defeated and became unknown again.

As for Ancajas, he has more than enough reasons why he needed to win this fight because his career will go down if he will get defeated again by Martinez. But I believe that this time he can defeat Martinez and maybe he can go fight with Joshua Franco afterwards to claim the WBA belt.
