“Have You Ever…” – Streamer’s Wild Question Leaves Manny Pacquiao and Boxing Fans Gobsmacked

Most people, when meeting a living legend like Manny Pacquiao, might ask him about his journey, his training, or what it’s like to punch people for a living and still be called a national hero. But not popular Kick streamer N3on. No! The 20-year-old had different priorities. Instead of diving into Pacquiao’s inspiring story, he asked the hard-hitting questions absolutely no one could have ever dreamt of. Spoiler alert—one of them involved eating dogs.

Before getting into the questions—which were absolute gems, by the way—it’s worth highlighting how this cursed meeting materialized. The 46-year-old is gearing up for a bout against Mario Barrios on July 19 at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. Potentially, in an attempt to hype the fight, Pacquiao made the bold decision to appear on Neon’s livestream. However, given how things went, it’s probably the last time he ever does something like this. 

How bad could the questions be? Well…

Imagine the most awkward conversation you’ve ever had—now multiply that by 10. That’s exactly what unfolded during this trainwreck of an interview. Pacquiao and Neon had just sat down at a restaurant mid-stream, ready for what should’ve been a chill meal. But then came Neon’s opening question—the perfect start to the worst interview imaginable. “Have you ever eaten dog before?” Pacquiao looked absolutely stunned by the question. Even with his sunglasses on, the disbelief was written all over his face. He chose not to answer. But the dust of awkwardness hadn’t even settled when Neon fired off his next gem. Asking about Pacquiao’s taste in music, he asked, “Would you be down to smoke a blunt with Snoop Dogg?”

No disrespect to Snoop, but why would Manny Pacquiao—a devout Christian, boxing legend, and former senator—want to smoke a blunt? PacMan chuckled awkwardly, politely saying he doesn’t smoke. “Oh, you don’t smoke? Oh Sorry. Sorry. Ah sh*t!” N3on stated apologetically. Despite this, the young streamer pressed on, suggesting the Filipino legend consider a career in livestreaming. Pacquiao remained silent, choosing to focus on the food instead.

At this point, Pacquiao began visibly checking out. He stared at the ceiling blankly. But N3on wasn’t done. “Are you a big gambler or no?” he asked. That was the final straw. Pacquiao completely disengaged and stood up, while Neon sat there, puzzled. “What did I do wrong? Is that a bad question?” In a last-ditch attempt to recover the moment, Neon blurted out, “I feel like you’re a very good dad.”

Pacquiao gave an awkward nod, clearly ready for this nightmare to end. “This is f**king cooked!” the streamer admitted to his chat. Unsurprisingly, the clip went viral instantly, and the internet lit up, roasting Neon into oblivion.

Neon is never getting another interview with Manny Pacquiao

Having endured the painful video, no one could have stopped people from trolling Neon. “Bro, he’s SO CRINGE,” one user wrote. “Why and how is he famous?” Neon is mostly famous for his IRL (In real life) streams, and he has previously hosted the likes of Rolando Romero and Ryan Garcia. 

The next user had a harsh take on Neon’s questions. “A toe-looking influencer shouldn’t even be allowed to sit with a legend,” the user commented. However, the prospect of promoting the fight among the youth might have convinced Pacquiao to give in.

Another user outright branded Neon’s questions dumb. “One of the best boxers to ever get in the ring, and you ask these dumb questions 🤦🏽‍♂️,” the user commented. There’s a saying, ‘There are no dumb questions,’ but in Neon’s case, it was too unbearable.

Someone else was puzzled by Manny Pacquiao. “Why did Manny even sit down with a person like this?” the user asked. Well, despite Neon’s questions and behavior, he has thousands, if not millions, of fans online, which could help Pacquiao’s popularity. 

Meanwhile, this user highlighted that Neon should be counting his lucky stars. “He’s lucky Manny [didn’t] bounce his head off the floor,” the user wrote. Actually, that would have made Manny even more popular than an appearance on Neon’s stream ever could.

That being said, it appears Neon has managed to make a fool out of himself with his livestream with Manny Pacquiao. But what did you think about the questions? Do you think Neon deserves all the trolling?
