Manny Pacquiao's boxing career may be on the downturn after consecutive losses, but his political career could be in danger as well, as Pac-Man is being accused of assaulting an official and using his considerable wealth to buy votes.
According to Jerry Adlaw of The Manila Times, Pacquiao allegedly attacked a barangay chairman by the name of Alfredo Belgica on Saturday night in General Santos City, Philippines. Pacquiao, who is seeking reelection as a representative for the Sarangani province, was reportedly delivering rice and cash to voters in the area prior to the incident.
Will this incident affect Pacquiao's fight vs. Brandon Rios?
Yes, it will result in the fight being postponed or canceled
No, the fight will go on as scheduled
Adlaw reports that Pacquiao and his bodyguards allegedly beat Belgica "almost to a pulp" after he tried to stop them from making deliveries. Belgica claims that Pacquiao and his entourage attacked him after he threatened to file charges against Pacquiao for buying votes.
According to Adlaw, however, General Santos City is not part of Pacquiao's constituency. Rather than campaigning for himself, Pac-Man was helping friend Ronnel Rivera, who is running for mayor in the area.
Pacquiao was reportedly allowed to leave the police station after being brought in for investigation. He was never questioned, according to Adlaw, and it remains to be seen what punishment, if any, is handed down to the former eight-division world champion.
According to Dan Rafael of ESPN, Pacquiao is scheduled to fight Brandon Rios in Macau on Nov. 24.

This right here.
When I stayed in Manila 5-6 years ago, when Manny was having an affair with Krista Ranillo it was all over the tabloids there. Here, not a peep. So you wanna know why Pac's dirty laundry is just brushed under the rug? It isn't. You're just living in the wrong country.
^^^this. and im pretty sure other countries dont pay too much attention to floyd personal life either.
Who gives a crap? The real question should be, Why isn't Manny and Floyd fighting? Outside that, everything else is Irrelevant.
This ^... Only this ^...
And more precisely: Just who (of these two) doesn't want to take the fight for whatever imaginable reasons??? Who?
that was all politics, larry....
pac time and again delivers goods and money here and there....
vote buying? for a friend? that's over-reaching....
pac won uncontested in his district....
but are you trying to deflect the issues floyd have recently...to pac?
come on you can do better than that
The other term for it is called bribery.
This right here.

Exactly. Pac's blunders have been known to a lot of Filipinos
why is his" supposed" claims ignored and he is treated like some angel?
Nobody treated him like an angel. That is your only imagination. Pac is no angel but I'm sure your boy is an evil. Giving frozen turkey to homeless people witout a place to cook is the devil's work.
We dont live in the Philippines.This right here.

come on you can do better than that
you forgot the article that says Pacquiao fathered a lot of children from different women, so many of them they actually populate our streets asking for food and money
Pac crimes are "Gangsta", thus swept under the rug..
Floyd's are petty ,womanbeating, come on now..
Larryx is snitching online...whats the feds giving you larry ?
I see what he is saying but damn, thats hell of a comeback. Too funny.
Frickin awesome job Manny!
The political figure he beat up must have been corrupt and most definitely deserved that beating. Pacquiao said he was gonna clean up Philippine politics and glad to know he's kept his promise and even using his fists clean up!
Thanks for sharing Larry!!
