Pacquiao is set to fight Spence Jr. in Las Vegas, Nevada on August 21 this year.

 

President Duterte made his claim during his speech at the inauguration of the LRT-2 East Extension Project in Antipolo City, Rizal Thursday.

 

Duterte told Pacquiao, corrupt people in gov’t existing since time of PNoy, Arroyo.

 

“He has a scheduled fight but suddenly nag back out. Probably he knows that he’s too old for that and failing in his boxing career, kung matalo siya, he’s a goner actually,” the President added.

Pacquiao, for his part, clarified that his upcoming boxing match will push through.

 

Pacquiao is due to fly out this weekend “para bigyan ng dangal ang ating bansa,” the lawmaker said in a statement.

 

Fake news maybe or could it just political sparring….who knows?
