Running for presidency requires big money, and we all know Pacquiao is capable of spending what is needed as he is a billionaire in the Philippines. With what he will make in this fight, the guaranteed purse is $5 million for him, so he will make more or less 250 million PHP, and PPV is not included yet.
I think Pacquiao will make more money through PPV than his guaranteed purse, and yes, that's a big help for him to finance his campaign being a presidential candidate. That's why this fight is really important to him, and he needs to win this so he can still get a good fight.
Easy money for him, but regardless of how much he will make, still unlikely he will win in politics.
The funny thing is, Manny is favored to win in any boxing fight but he is a big underdog in politics.
That says, you cannot be good in everything.
There's no such thing as easy money when you risk your health and worse is your life in the ring, we just say it easy because Manny is a great fighter, but we can never be sure if they'll always be safe in the ring.
Been watching some of his recent YT videos posted by his fans regarding his training to this upcoming fight.
And I can say, he still has this power and stamina to endure all those backbreaking exercises.
It seems he can still go the distance inside the ring, considering his age. I think I will bet on him on this one.
He should focus himself on this training and not on politics. Politics can wait though.
