If Floyd ran for U.S Congress......

Some recent athletes in politics in america:

********** vice presidential candidate Jack Kemp (football), former Congressman Steve Largent (football), Senator Jim Bunning (baseball) and former Senator and presidential candidate Bill Bradley (basketball). More recently, ******** Dave Bing was elected mayor of Detroit, a city that loved him during his Hall of Fame career with the Pistons.

Any history buff can list dozens upon dozens of pro athletes turned politician.

Pacquiao is an illiterate 3rd grade drop out.

Is the OP really ****** enough to compare american politics with phillippines politics? Pacquiao ran because somehow he actually has a chance to win overthere while floyd not a chance in hell here in the US. **** he can't even makes his payments to the IRS without trouble...

******? So because someone has a CHANCE to win an election means they are qualified? I bet you are one of the few people who think Sarah Palin is fit to be U.S President.

Before you resort to insults, make sure your argument is valid. Because in the end you might just be the one looking "******".

If Floyd was elected to congress while he was an active boxer, he would be a mega-star

It's beyond sad. I'm sure he's doesn't know **** about politics, it's a popularity contest.

it is a double standard. But we're dealing with two different dynamics here...

The Filipinos who voted for Pacquiao are idiots...!!!

Slow people...

Short Bus riders...

Not the sharpest Knives in the drawers...

Cut from a dirty cloth...


I'm just being modest....KILLA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I thought Pac should've ran for a position at a more local level to gain political experience.
And Pac did drop out when he was in the third grade to help his family. But Manny passed the high school equivalency exam and is attending college. Manny might not be some genius but he made an effort to educate himself later in his life. Pac may be underqualified but he's not illiterate.

People would start off by saying "what the hell does Floyd (high school dropout) know about politics?" "Floyd is just trying to duck Manny again!!!"

But when Pacquiao runs for office people say "Manny (a 3rd grade dropout) has had a wonderful boxing career and now he wishes to help his country by running for election. Good for him."

That is a double standard. I'm a big Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather fan, but Pacquiao gets the passes that most fighters wouldn't.

Not exactly .... In America we have thousands of ppl..... How are smarter and more qualified then our boxers...... What does this say bout Philippine gov.
