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

[toe2toe]

imagine this.

floyd can brag he slapped a congressman (if floyd fights pacquiao eventually)

michael buffer will introduce pacquaio as "the fighting congressman..."

[toe2toe]

floyd-pacquiao might not happen anymore. floyd might say he doesn't want to beat up a congressman.

And The NEEEWWW Congressman From Sarangani Province, Manny Pacquiao!

"It's not going to change anything. They'll just announce him as Congressman Manny Pacquiao, that's all."

whats happening with my country?! i like pac as a boxer not as a politician!

[Majesty]

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!"

pacquiao made boxing history again as the first active pro boxer who holds an elected public position at the same time. (?)

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.

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.

then whats the point? he should have left alone politics. he could help people whenever he can anyway. he should have focused on boxing.

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.

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.

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.
