Give his fans a reason if he loses. They can always say "Well he wasnt in love with boxing anymore, he was running for congress, if Pac had been in his prime(like the fight 5 months before) he would have beaten Floyd!"

Re: being a congressman, how much will it affect pacquiao's boxing career?
pacquiao made boxing history again as the first active pro boxer who holds an elected public position at the same time. (?)

Re: being a congressman, how much will it affect pacquiao's boxing career?
Floyd is the best pure boxer around but if Manny and Floyd had the same reach and size PBF is in deep trouble. Anybody who does not recognize Floyd's size advantage over Manny is blind. 5 inch reach differential does Matter.

How is he even remotely qualified to be a politician? I understand that most of it is accepting bribes and appointing cronies, but still.

not really, he was always busy with other things. he juggles singing,acting, tv hosting, tv ads and boxing all at the same time. it made some fans worry cause he might undertrain for a fight cause he was doing so many things. but it doesnt affect him at all.

definitely he's qualified or else he's not allowed to run (and eventually got elected). as what arum said, philippines reps are just the same with usa reps, they do nothing in congress.

whats happening to our country? nothing man.. its still the same crap. i mean people expect the politicians not to be corrupt but when they hand out money people will vote for them. it will be 3rd world till the end of time. pacman probably is a breath of fresh air since he came from the poorest so his heart wont be questioned. i dont know how he will do drafting laws and passing them though.

Re: being a congressman, how much will it affect pacquiao's boxing career?

Its very simple , it will not affect PACMAN at all , I will explain .
Politicians do nothing at all , apart from lie , so PACMAN can happily carry one his boxing career.

being an elected public official, he can use government money to help people instead of using his own personal money or at least he gets some government money. :D

pacmans career has already went downhill IMO after he refused to take the tests i think he will retire soon before he gets found out.

Ahhhchemm! Ronald Regan, Sara Palin, Arnold Swarz .
Its a game mate nothing else , a game of celebrity head.
Actually Floyd should run against him in his own constituent, if Manny ducks him in the ring.

Re: being a congressman, how much will it affect pacquiao's boxing career?
The only major difference is that it gives him another excuse to add to his list for ducking Floyd.

No, it hasn't.
With a PPV buy of about 700,000 and an arena attendance of more than 50,000 for the Pacquiao-Clottey fight, his career is better than it has ever been.

or the other way around. who wants to maul an honorable congressman? no one?

Re: being a congressman, how much will it affect pacquiao's boxing career?
It won't make any difference at all, his performance* won't drop below the level that he's maintained over the past few years. Manny is so dedicated to boxing and training in the gym that he only spends half the time performing with his band, making records, making movies, making personal appearances, running for political office and being a politician that all other elite fighters do.
*Provided they let him take his PEDs for at least 21 days before any future fight.
-
Re: being a congressman, how much will it affect pacquiao's boxing career?
I think that Manny is starting to believe in his own legend; starting to believe in his fictional, super-hero powers. The man is starting to slide down that slippery delusional slope. If, and that's one hell of an IF, he actually puts his cards down and steps up to fight F.M., he can't have his head in so many different realms.
If he doesn't land early, stun, and finish Mayweather, Mayweather will figure him out and coast to another U.D. Even with all of the money on the table, the prospect of this fight taking place doesn't look too promising.

That sounds about right. Refuse to take the tests, blame Floyd for the negotiations collapsing then fight Hands of Plaster in the Cowboys stadium to go out with a win. No way he fights Floyd if he isn't allowed to take his PEDs.

He can't possible be more in love with himself than Mayweather is.
I'm more interested in how much his being a congressman will affect boxing. Are we going to see much more main stream media will follow Pacquiao now? Many of them have mentioned his Congressional race win. I've see it on the TV news, heard it on the radio news and there are a number of main stream news prints that have also carried the story. And I'm talking about non-sports news media. I heard a few month back he is going to a featured story on 60 minutes in September or October. He has brought the worlds attention to boxing but the question remains for how long. If he fights and beats Mayweather, there no telling what will happen to boxing. With this kind of attention McCain might be able to push through US Boxing Commission Bill. We might see some profound changes in boxing. It really is an exciting time for boxing

Arum stated that Philippines and US congressmen/representatives has a thing in common - they do nothing most of the time.

It'll be easier for him to get his hands on the best military steroids.

Re: being a congressman, how much will it affect pacquiao's boxing career?
He'll make a last huzza with Mayweather, make tons of millions, be a congressman till he lost the next elections, if he does so and is under 36 when it happens, he'll make a come back and try to rip another couple of millions.
