“Brain Damage Is Next”: Manny Pacquiao Warned About His Health as Filipino Pride’s 2023 Exhibition Announcement Draws Wild Reactions

Surprising everyone in the boxing world, Manny Pacquiao has recently announced the next venture of his life and debut in MMA with the Asian Mixed Martial Arts institution, Rizin FF. As a gift to his fans, on the 31st of December, he posted that next year he will fight his next with any Japanese fighter in Rizin FF 40. Fans praised his efforts and praised their hero for his aggressive courage at the age of 44. Interestingly some fans were also concerned about the champion’s health, and they asked questions on social media. On a Facebook post about extreme boxing, fans commented about the possible health issues.

Manny Pacquiao turned 44 this December, and in a closed ceremony, he celebrated his birthday. But his latest announcement has created huge anxiety among the fans. Seeing a man of over 44 years of age inside the ring again is disheartening to fans.

Fans are concerned for Pacman’s health

After he announced his new venture with Rizin FF on the last day of 2022, fans went crazy to see whom he fights next, and as per the reports, it will be a Japanese fighter who will be chosen by Rizin FF. But besides being a legendary boxer, Pacquiao is also a well-known philanthropist.

He has a foundation named, Manny Pacquiao Foundation, which helps needy people to get aids. Also, it was the talk of the town that Pacquiao is helping the Philippines in such a way that no Filipinos would be homeless. For such kind acts, Pacquiao remains a ‘True People’s Champ’ to his fans. Even after achieving so much, he stays so simple and humble to the fans. For their very own hero, they are not ready to see him in the ring again. Let’s see what fans have to say.

Casey Gerry Noonan said, “Pac is just a machine, but last time he went down, it was bad. Needs to retire. Brain Damage is next, If not there already.”

Another fan said, “Manny please retire. Absolute Legend. Don’t tarnish your legacy.”

All the fans are expecting him to retire as playing over 44 years of age in combat sports is not right for that age. There are chances of permanent damage, fractures, etc. But Pacquiao is a man of his word and he is going to entertain his fans in 2023.
