Why is Manny Pacquiao‘s old ass trying to fight in the Olympics?

Guess maybe he just wants to represent his country?

He won’t be - they already said the age limit won’t be raised further.

Agree - probably just to represent his country and keep his name in the news over there.

I mean he’d probably easily medal - but he had a chance - didn’t take it - so has only himself to blame. He wanted to play politician - life is full of choices.

Embarassing

Mexican community pissed off

joke of course because many think he’s Mexican lol (not Mexican-Americans)

he wanted to get down in the village!

Don’t understand really WHY he would want to participate as an athlete.

Surely he can go and support his country as an advisor - bring attention to its young athletes and still be the face of his nation.

So he medals best case - so what ? Do we suddenly just realize he was really good ? He beats out someone who would have gotten a medal - and doesn’t get to participate again…does that increase his legacy in any way - no. But the person he beats out - that would have defined their career possibly.

Just accept your time has passed and move on gracefully. No need to seek out a medal “for your country”

I guess, he's bored or missing the attention of the media.

I agree with you DJ, why not become a trainer/advisor? There's a lot of opportunity where he can still represent his country.
