“He Knew What He Was Doing”: Manny Pacquiao’s Face-off With Ring Girl Sparks Wild Reactions

Former eight-division champion Manny Pacquiao is widely regarded as one of the best boxers of his generation. The Filipino boxer led the sport for the better part of two decades pushing the limits of what it means to be a world champion. Pac-Man has won championships in eight weight classes, a record that is still to be broken. Moreover, off the ring, Pacquiao was an idol to many coming from poverty and becoming one of the richest boxers ever.

However, there were moments of lapses even for Pac-Man as he was involved in a minor goof-up in one of his weigh-ins before a fight. One such moment came before his welterweight title bout against Brandon Ríos back in 2013. Pacquiao won the fight via unanimous decision and took home the vacant WBO International welterweight title. Despite this, he did manage to do something silly at the weigh-ins.

TopRank recently released a video of the weigh-ins of the fight. However, instead of facing off with Rois, Pac-Man accidentally faces off with a ring girl who was present on the stage. The two then laughed it off as Pacquiao was trying to communicate his thoughts. Moreover, the fans were also quick to share their thoughts on the video as it drew in some wild reactions.
