The Philippines observe their Independence Day on the 12th of June. This year they are celebrating the 125th Philippines Independence Day. On this occasion, Manny Pacquiao, former senator of the Philippines and retired professional boxer took to Twitter and spoke about honouring the sacrifices of their heroes who fought for their freedom. Additionally, Pacquiao asked for unity and resilience. While Pacquiao took to Twitter, Floyd Mayweather wore a Philippine-flag-themed short at his latest exhibition bout.

It was in 2015 that Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao shared the boxing ring and fought. After eight long years, Pacquiao and ‘TBE’ once again shared a common ground. Floyd Mayweather just appeared at the seventh exhibition fight of his life in Florida. The 50-0 boxer faced John Gotti III in this fight. While Gotti III wore a pair of black-and-white trunks, Mayweather fought, wearing the colours of the Philippine flag.

In his seventh exhibition fight, Floyd Mayweather just fought John Gotti III. The main event began after a so-called “horrendous performance“ and ended with complete chaos inside the arena and the boxing ring. Although the referee-in-charge called a stop to the contest following the use of NSFW words by Gotti III during the fight, the grandson of ‘Teflon Don’ approached Mayweather and started swinging. Even though Gotti III swung wildly, Mayweather surprised the former with his accuracy. During the entire contest, in order to remind fans about the 125th Philippines Independence Day, Mayweather wore the colours of the Philippine flag.
