Even if my voice made a difference in his political world, I wouldn't vote for Pacquiao. That is because I would much rather see him in the ring, rather than talking about some peoples plight. I would be willing to bet most others feel the same.
Simply put Politics is about getting what you want. The more positive attention a politician has the more people power he has. In a word "influence".
Pacquiao would do far more for "his people" (meaning the people he wants to represent politically) using his current stature as a mega boxer than to drop out of the boxing spot light into politics. As a political figure that influence meter will drop closer to "0" than rise toward "100". As a "Boxing Legend" he has the attention of the world. As a Politician he will be ridiculed for being uneducated. No Politician can compete with him using the ring. Politicians will just trample him outside the ring. Sorry dude! no vote here....
