Follow us Pacquiao, whose boxing nickname is “Pac-Man” after his last name, has weighed in on political issues before. And since he became a congressman in the Philippines in 2010, it's part of his job. Earlier this month, the star fighter said he opposed a Filipino bill to force the government to offer birth control and parenthood advice to its citizens. Pacquiao cited his religious beliefs for his opposition. “God said, 'Go out and multiply.' He did not say, just have two or three kids,” Pacquiao said, according to beatboxingmayhem.com. “It is sinful to use condoms and commit abortion… my parents were poor… they had four children, it was very difficult but we persevered.” Pacquiao's relationship with God is so deep that he once said God told him in a dream to retire. “I will not stay long in boxing because he said: 'You have done enough. You have made yourself famous but this is harmful,'” Pacquiao said at the time. Yet his career continues as fans hope for the day the Pac-Man will fight Mayweather, arguably boxing's top two fighters.
