Manny Pacquiao condemned widely for anti-g*y comments – Boxing News
It seems like Manny Pacquiao’s visit to the United States has been unfavourable for him. His vicious comments towards g*y people and g*y marriages have already stirred controversies and now many fellow fighters are pooling in to make it worse for the WBO
welterweight champion. First, it was Mayweather who took a shot at Manny and now it is Pacquiao’s upcoming opponent Bradley.
On Pacquiao’s comments regarding g*y people, Timothy Bradley said, “g*y people have their own rights and beliefs and the great thing about this country is that they're welcome to them. I don't see what the big deal is. As I said, I have g*y uncles, g*y cousins
and g*y friends. If one of my g*y relatives told me they were getting married and asked me to go, I'd say 'Of course,' and go proudly.”
Last week, Mayweather commented on g*y marriages, “I stand behind President Obama & support game marriage. I'm an American citizen & I believe people should live their life the way they want.”
For now, Pacquiao is going through a rough time since most fellow fighters, politicians and media personnel have made an issue out of his statement. It seems like the Filipino champion’s opinion regarding g*y marriages have landed him in trouble.
Pacquiao is currently scheduled to face Timothy Bradley on June 9 at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. Timothy Bradley is currently unbeaten and Manny will be his first top of the line opponent. This fight is as important for Pacquiao as it is for Bradley. Pacquiao
has to prove that he still is the number one pound for pound pugilist in the world. On the other hand, Bradley has to prove that he can match up with the titans. This is Bradley’s first ever mega-bout and so he needs to grab victory.
The bad news for Pacquiao is that he has called upon himself controversy and hatred of the people for now. If the situation remains same, he will have to face a crowd that will be pressurizing him, which might cause him to lose the match. Pacquiao’s title
will be on the line and so he has to make sure that he wins.
