Funny that Arum once used Pacquiao to help Harry Reid for his re-election bid in the US Senate years ago. Well, Mr Bob now knows he can't use him to help ********s win elections. Truth is, all countries, except the US, have no clear political leanings. They can be ******** or conservative. The US is the most politically polarized country on earth. And Mr Pacquiao, like many from other countries, have no idea what's going on in the US political arena. You can be loved and hated equally, 50/50, if you hold one controversial view.

In a democracy people are entitled to their own opinions. Pacman don't like homsexuals, others do, so what?

People are entitled to their opinions but are not immune to criticism for the opinions they express. That's part of democracy too.

It's either Arum is selling PPV to gay ppl or his *** himself. This old man is something. he will never get enough of money

Arum is most certainly grabbing his wallet with this situation. the mans love is money. Manny is expendable to him.

Manny Pacquiao's latest disparaging comments about gays have cost him a contract with Nike.

It may not be the only endorsement Pacquiao loses, even as he and promoter Bob Arum scramble to contain the damage done by a television interview in the Philippines in which the boxer said gay people "are worse than animals."

Why is it important for a boxing promoter to comment on sexual matters ?

Would it have been more appropriate for Arum to reply.....

..... " no idea, I am a boxing promoter, I don't have time to consider topics like that..... go ask a councilor ".

How is it considered even slightly appropriate for a boxing insider to even have a viewpoint when it comes to sexual matters, let alone comment publicly?

I don't get that at all.

Especially considering the fact that Arum is Manny's current promoter.

Arum could have stayed out of it, but he chose to dump on Pac, wtf ?

This is serious business. Uncle Bob is making evasive maneuvers. Manny Pacquiao just stepped on a land mine. The peanut gallery commenting on the internet has no clue how much damage this is going to cause.

Why ?

Who cares what a 90yo boxing promoter thinks about gay rights ?
