His promoter probably called him immediately and told him that if he cherished money, apologize. With a big Nike deal on the table, I wouldn\u2019t be surprised seeing Pacquiao march in the gay parade.<\/p>\n<p>How much impact will this negative press mean on this fight? The first thing to consider is that Bradley is not a big name in boxing. He\u2019s a fighter with heart and grit but he doesn\u2019t have the punch to concern Manny. So, this is a relative tough sale to begin with. When you add in the subpar undercard and the anti-gay hate speech of Pacquiao, we may see a significant drop in the viewership.<\/p>\n<p>June 9th will give us our answer.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Family-Secret-Forris-Day-Jr\/dp\/B004GLZ4YG\/ref=sr_1_1?s=dvd&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1309134704&amp;sr=1-1\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-11987\" style=\"margin-left: 10px; margin-right: 10px;\" title=\"family secret ad pic\" src=\"http:\/\/ringsidereport.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/06\/family-secret-ad-pic.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"100\" height=\"143\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.authorhouse.com\/BookStore\/BookDetail.aspx?Book=232300\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-11989\" style=\"margin-left: 10px; margin-right: 10px;\" title=\"boxing interviews ad bio\" src=\"http:\/\/ringsidereport.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/06\/boxing-interviews-ad-bio1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"100\" height=\"143\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/ringsidereport.com\/?page_id=1371\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-11990\" style=\"margin-left: 10px; margin-right: 10px;\" title=\"advertise header2\" src=\"http:\/\/ringsidereport.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/06\/advertise-header2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"200\" height=\"143\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Geno McGahee Manny Pacquiao, 54-3-2, 38 KO\u2019s, will be heading into his big PPV fight with the challenge of Timothy Bradley, 28-0, 12 KO\u2019s, on June 9th, but the West Hollywood Gay and Lesbian Organization will be boycotting this fight.
