Comments Thread For: Pacquiao Not Bothered By Bautista, Magic Johnson Reactions

[Chaos]

Do you feel the same way about Nike refusing to let Pac ruin their livelihood? I mean they made him a representative of their brand and blew his name up only for him to call a portion of their customers less than human. I think everything that is happening is supposed to. If you say what you say, stand by it. Nike did so and so did Pacquaio.

They are less than human, so no one should be upset if all he does is point out the truth.

I'm with Bautista on this one. I have a gay relative (cousin).

All of you ****phobic people need some love and heart in your soul man!

I BELIEVE PEOPLE SHOULD LIVE THEIR LIFE THE WAY THEY WANT.

Pac can say gay are worst than animals.

Why can't people say that Pac is an ****phobic bigoted man ?

Still looks to me that freedom of speech only works one way for you.

In the original interview, Manny said he had nothing against gay people themselves but thought that the act of being gay was disgusting, lower than animals BC they know better etc... Iirc.
People should be backing up Manny for standing up to his beliefs, if he backed down from it it would hurt his image even more.

What Pacquiao said wouldn't ruin Nike at all, so the parallel isn't exactly the same. I can think of a few less than stand up people that Nike has sponsored (or continues to sponsor) that hasn't affected their ability to make billions of dollars per year. There's that, and the fact that Manny seems to have a legion of loyal supporters ready to stop wearing Nike apparel to support him, which would in turn (you guessed it) cost Nike money lol. In any case, Nike felt that there were more advantages to dropping Pacquiao, and they had every right to do so. No argument here.

What I was talking about specifically was Magic Johnson calling for people to boycott Pacquiao's fights. If you don't like what the guy said and don't want to go to his fights anymore then fine, but don't try to brainwash others into not going as well. That's the only issue I have. As a man that gets hit in the head for a living, Manny needs as much money as he can get, especially since this is his supposed farewell fight.

80% religious and that place is still hella ****ed & corrupted. I'm talking 2/4 of their country are on meth. They have a ********* group associated with ISIS and possibly many more other things.
