HBO SLAMS MANNY PACQUIAO ON HIS RECENT COMMENTS AGAINST THE LGBTQ COMMUNITY
Los Angeles, CA (March 2, 2016)– Manny Pacquiao released a tirade of comments against the gay community last month defending his religious beliefs and said they were “worse than animals”. This caused a backlash against him and he was dropped by Nike who had sponsored him and distanced from his promoter, Bob Arum. Arum called Manny’s comments, “reprehensible”. Bob Arum will still promote the April PPV.
HBO, the company that will carry the fight on pay-per-view next month, have now released an official statement as well:
“Next month Manny Pacquiao and Timothy Bradley Jr. are scheduled to meet in a Pay-Per-View bout. We have an obligation to both fighters and, therefore, will proceed to produce and distribute that event. However, we felt it important to leave no uncertainty about our position on Mr. Pacquiao’s recent comments toward the LGBTQ community. We consider them insensitive, offensive and deplorable. HBO has been a proud home to many LGBTQ stories and couldn’t approach this event without clearly voicing our opinion.”
