‘Is It CTE?’: Manny Pacquiao Slammed by Fans Over ‘Death Wish’

Former 8-division champion Manny Pacquiao has been eyeing a full comeback to boxing since his retirement back in 2021. He last fought Yordenis Ugás in August of last year and retired to focus more on his political career. However, Pac-Man seemingly had a change of mind after it was announced that he will be competing in an exhibition in South Korea later this year.

Moreover, Pac-Man recently revealed his interest in facing the winner of one of boxing’s most anticipated fights. The Filipino legend spoke about the possibility of facing the winner of Errol Spence Jr. vs. Terence Crawford. The 43-year-old was initially supposed to face Spence Jr. However, Spence garnered an injury to his eye, which led to him pulling out of the match just a couple of weeks before.

“Why not? If that’s possible. We’ll see the result first. I will watch.” said Pacquiao on the possibility of a match.

However, the fans seemingly didn’t like the idea of a 43-year-old Pacquiao facing either of the two boxers as they slammed the legend for making this bold claim

Moreover, one fan wondered if Pacquiao had gotten CTE and told him to listen to his long-time rival Floyd Mayweather.

Following this, one fan urged Pacquiao not to go through with this match or he would end up in a coma.

Lastly, one fan requested to get Crawford vs Spence finalized first before talks of a match with Pacquiao.

The fans seemed concerned about the legend as he is way past his prime and cannot compete with the likes of Spence or Crawford. Moreover, the fans want to see Crawford vs. Spence fight first, as it has been the most eluded fight in boxing.

Even though Pacquiao would have certainly been a contender for either during his prime, father time eventually catches up to everyone, including the 8-division champ.

Do you think Pacquiao should fight the winner of Crawford vs Spence? Let us know in the comments.
