Me too, I will not vote for as politician but I will support him as a Pro Boxer because he is the pride of our country. I'm replying on the quote statement above that many Filipino will pray for him that he will lose on the match. This is such disgusting considering MP achievement and works for the Philippines.
Let us set aside politics, for now, the fight schedule is new, I guess it's just right to show our support by not talking about politics, we support him to win, and let that politics talk start after this fight. Manny is the pride of our country, his success is also our success.
I think you are correct, the topic is manny pacquiao vs Errol spence in a boxing contest, and not Manny pacquiao political campaign, am not from the Philippines, and I know about politics news aren't accurate, you have to be there to know how the political leaders there are governing them, so it may be regional if the topic is about Manny pacquiao as a politician, but as an athlete and a professional boxer he is one of the greatest in his division and am excited to see him back in the ring again.
In the Welterweight division, only 3 champions are popular, that's Manny Pacquiao, Errol Spence Jr., and Terence Crawford, so whoever wins this fight, could fight Terence Crawford and if he still does not accept the challenge, then we will not see competitive boxing again in this division.
For the last years, I think this one is the biggest in this division as every time Manny Pacquiao fights, everyone is so interested to see it.
