LOS ANGELES – “We’ll pray for him.”
Manny Pacquiao had this to say about Adrien Broner who was arrested this week over a warrant after failing to appear in court.
The Filipino boxing icon is scheduled to defend his WBA welterweight title against the American challenger on Jan. 19 in Las Vegas.
“This is boxing. This is entertainment. We have to do our job in the ring. Outside the ring, we should be compassionate, be friendly, and help others,” Pacquiao told ABS-CBN News after his training.
The Philippine senator believes the Cincinnati boxer, nicknamed “The Problem,” can sort out his problem.
“He can handle it. The problem,” he said.
Pacquiao said he plans to share the gospel to Broner, who had past brushes with law.
“Of course in my heart, my desire is to have a conversation with him after the fight and I can share with him the real life, the word of God,” he said.
Pacquiao has been training in Los Angeles weeks ahead of the much-awaited bout. – with report from Steve Angeles, ABS-CBN News
