It was been forgotten for a while when he enters the ring and wins the fight against WBO welterweight champion, two-time WBC light welterweight and former WBO light welterweight champion Timothy Bradley.
Now the issue seems doesn’t to end as this has been one of the reasons why ticket sales of the event decreased. A lot of Pacquiao fans, especially his Hollywood fans missed to cheer Pacman last Saturday during his fight against Bradley.
According to Bob Arum, even Manny’s long term fan and friend Jimmy Kimmel could not do their tradition pre-fight interview because of the restriction about Pacquiao’s statements about gays.
Even wrestler to Hollywood actor Dave Bautista who has been his side and supported him for many years criticized Manny because of the issue.
As we remember, during Pacquiao’s every fight, he was visited by Hollywood stars namely, Sylvester Stallone, Keanu Reeves and his long-time supporter, Mark Wahlberg.

I don’t think Manny will be affected by the decrease of so called hollywood celebs supporters, being a Christian is choosing either you impress the world and offend God or offend the world and impress God.
Agree…
That is for CHRIST sake,I delight in Weaknesses,in Insults,in Hardship,in Persecution,in Difficulties.for when I am weak,then I am strong through CHRIST JESUS…A true Christian who devoted His LIFE and His FAITH to God must not Compromise His Belief to the Pattern of this World because We are truly Transform Spiritually and Physically by the Power of CHRIST Who by His Grace and Mercy gave Us full Assurance of ETERNAL LIFE…So we must stand firm to Our FAITH to CHRIST the Author and perfector our FAITH! Amen
I think the whole thing was misintepreted. I heard the live interview and he was just trying to make a point. He only gave an example that even animals will distinguish between male and female which is true. He never said that its better for the animals, they know whom to choose, then this statement will be wrong. So, I think The fault lies on the media. This is my thought..

nobody understand what he just said were produce from the sect he now belongs… he maybe a legendary champion
