Filipino boxer Manny Pacquiao took to his blog to do damage control on his rather unsettling comments about homosexuals. In an interview Manny was quoted as saying:
If a man lies with a man as one lies with a woman, both of them have done what is detestable. They must be put to death; their blood will be on their own heads.
Pacquiao also said:
God only expects man and woman to be together and to be legally married, only if they so are in love with each other. It should not be of the same sex so as to adulterate the altar of matrimony, like in the days of Sodom and Gomorrah of Old.
The boxer was flooded with a generally overwhelming negative response. Even his arch nemisis boxing rival Floyd Mayweather took to twitter Wednesday night, to give his opinion on the matter.
Rick Jacobs, founder and chair of the Courage Campaign, told LA Weekly earlier today that:
American sponsors are going to have to look very carefully about whether they can continue to pour money into his apparently rather empty soul. Not only does [Pacquiao] live in L.A., he makes a lot of money thanks the United States and sponsors here in particular.
With all of the negative response, all signs point towards this potentially hurting Mr. Pac-Man’s marketability, and inevitably pocketbook.
