Although it is straightforward for Manny Pacquiao that everything will eventually come to an end, he also knows that he will continue to keep burning until the fire on his passion is still alive. His body remains to align with his mind.
“Siyempre marami tayong kinokonsidera. Of course malulungkot ako kapag nawala na ako sa boxing pero ganyan talaga lahat ay may hangganan,” the eight-division world champion Pacquiao on his exclusive interview to Bombo Radyo.
Asked why he’s still fighting at the age of 42, his answer revolves around the word “passion.”
His love for the sports of boxing is undying.
“Yun yung ebidensya ng pagiging passionate sa sports. Like I said, hindi naman ako nambobolang tao, nanglolokong tao na ayokong sabihin na “boxing is my passion” pero wala akong interes sa boxing. Sinabi ko palagi na boxing is my passion kaya andito pa ako palagi laging lumalaban dahil it’s my passion.”
That’s why he trains as hard as he can at every fight and give all his best because he loves what he’s doing.
“Enjoy ako na ginagawa yan. Masaya ako na ina-undergo ko yung sarili ko sa strict training and discipline.”
