MANILA » Fans of Manny Pacquiao have a new way of showing how much they love the boxing superstar — by eating him.

Or a life-size replica cake at least.

Zach Yonzon, his wife Aila, and six of his staff helped finish the 66-in. chocolate cake on Saturday after working 24 hours at The Bunny Baker cafe in suburban Quezon City.

Yonzon says it was his wife’s idea to bake the cake to commemorate the mega-fight against Floyd Mayweather, which will be on Sunday morning Philippines time.

Yonzon said "Manny Pacquiao is world class, so we wanted to do something equally world class and the only way to do that is to create a cake that was extraordinary."

The cake will be handed out free after the fight.
