Manny "pacman" Pacquiao is undergoing middle age crisis. Why do I say so? Well the boxer is the best in the Philippines. He has millions upon millions of dollars in winnings and endorsement fees. Manny Pacquiao is a seven division champion for crying out loud! He's the only person in the world who has ever done that!
And yet instead of quitting while he's ahead, instead of keeping his name clean, credible and on everyone's good side -- he goes into politics, he goes into showbiz and he continues to make risky decisions in terms of his next boxing matches.
Although I do tend to be on the safe side, and I also believe that Manny's greatness is in his guts and capacity to take risks (aside from the talent & skill he already possesses)
Recent news about his leg injury (which has been there longer than everyone thinks by the way), is making waves and potentially trying to even the odds on his next fight (gambling reasons most likely)
Manny has been rumored to be in affairs with a number of sexy stars in the Philippines (Ara Mina before and now Krista Ranillo). If that isn't a sign of trouble, I don't know what is. The poor (rich) wife, Jinkee Pacquiao who picked him up when we was a nobody is now suffering from all the ghastly news. I wouldn't mind though as long as all the money still ended up with me
Even Manny's mother - Aling Dionisia is making waves in Philippine showbiz. Manny is slowly shifting his attention to the limelight of Hollywood with multiple guestings in many shows like Jimmy Kimmel and even a concert of his own. The identity crisis is daunting.
Good idea though moving from boxing to showbiz given he has probably had enough punches thrown at him. Here's hoping the fame doesn't wear off before he retires
Here's his clip from Jimmy Kimmel
Watch out for Manny's next fight with Ghanaian Clottey on March 13
