MANILA, Philippines – Newly crowned World Boxing Council (WBC) super welterweight king Manny Pacquiao revealed on Tuesday that he apologized to his badly-beaten opponent, Antonio Margarito, right after their bout last Saturday (Sunday in Manila).
In an exclusive interview with ABS-CBN News aired over TV Patrol on Tuesday, the Filipino boxing champion said he visited his opponent in his locker room to offer his apology.
“Nag-sorry ako. Sabi ko 'salamat' at nag-sorry ako sa kampo niya at sa kanya (I said sorry. I thanked him, then said sorry to him and his camp),” Pacquiao told ABS-CBN's Dyan Castillejo.
The diminutive Filipino champion bashed the taller Margarito black-and-blue during their title clash over the weekend.
After the fight, both of the Mexican’s eyes were badly swollen because of the beating. There was a deep cut under his right eye, which was evident as early as Round 7. It was later reported that Margarito injured his right eye socket, and would need to undergo surgery.
“Inakap ko siya and then nag-sorry ako sa wife niya and doon sa team (I embraced him and then apologized to his wife and his team),” said Pacquiao.
The Filipino boxer earlier admitted that Margarito was a tough opponent to beat, noting that the Mexican continued to press on despite his injuries.
Pacquiao said Margarito was already badly injured during Round 11. He was looking at referee Laurence Cole several times, hoping to have the fight stopped.
“I didn’t want to hurt him because boxing is not all about killing each other,” he said.
And since Cole permitted Margarito to fight on, Pacquiao decided to take it easy on the Mexican in the final round.
This was not the first time Pacquiao showed compassion to his fallen opponent.
In June 2008, Pacquiao tried to help Mexican-American David “Dangerous” Diaz on his feet after knocking out the latter for the WBC lightweight title.
The Filipino halted Diaz in the 9th round after outpacing and outboxing the Mexican-American.
yea humble huh lol
last week he called himself the GOAT lol fighting damaged goods at catch weight is not good homie lol
He didn't say that. What he said in jest was taken by the Flomos and twisted it to satisfy their envy and fetish for stupidity.
class and being humble will always be better than trash talking and disrespecting

last week he called himself the GOAT lol fighting damaged goods at catch weight is not good homie lol

can't say enough about Manny Pac "THE PERSON" :notworthy
Does Manny apologize to his wife everytime he cheats on her?
Only when he gets caught.
But is that even a question? Even homos cheats on the flomos...and it's a lesser evil than beating the mother of your kids and accuse your kid of telling lies.
You know...
There is no divorce in the Philippines...
They can only get divorced in the States - making it a hassle...
Plus he is a Congressman now - meaning he needs the wife and kids for photo opps...
Open Marriage is common in a country without divorce.
Pacquiao is the GOAT. Class act.
How ironic that the corrupt Laurence Cole who went out of his way to try and get Juan Marquez to quit in a 2006 fight by telling him "he was ahead on the score cards" ......is the same ref who lets a guy with two swollen eyes closed come out for the 12th round.
We know Laurence "insures" the very fights his daddy Dickie Cole appoints him to......so obviously someone else picked up the tab for this one.
Pac Man is a class act. Hard to believe a guy who actually shows up to fight....gives it his all.....shows some respect for his opponent takes so much **** from boxing fans....who would rather talk about a guy in Vegas who is alleged to have slapped a woman.....rather then a boxer.
Guess he learned that from Uncle Roger too.
If in fact it's true.
Vegas Vince
and Floyd and Uncle Roger should apologize to all the women in the world for beating up hapless women.....
congratulations, Floyd and Roger for your last fights! :rofl:
He should apologize to the public for not wanting take full random drug testing and not for this lame ass shit.

Sadly, you are not the public.
You are the minority here, the special ones, the retard Flomos.
