“I Felt Like Ending My Life”: Manny Pacquiao Makes Shocking Confession

Manny Pacquiao ranks as an all-time great of boxing. In a career spread over two decades, Pacquiao captured every fight fan’s attention with his out-of-the-box fighting skills and never say die attitude. The budding generation of fighters seeks major inspiration for him and the legacy he’s left behind has surely made the sport even more alluring.

But, there was a phase in ‘Pacman’s decorated life wherein he felt on ending everything.

Per New York Post, he said, “I was reading this book called ‘[The] Purpose-Driven Life’ and I would read the Bible too,”

“I felt like ending my life at that moment because I was repenting for my sins. I was alone in my room and I was crying uncontrollably. I asked myself what I should do. ‘Lord am I not worthy?’ If I could just turn back time and undo all I’ve done against you.”

“I felt small. I was on my knees, face to the ground, while I was alone,”

“When I hear the word of God I feel so happy.”

Last month, Pacquiao battled Yordenis Ugas for the WBA welterweight ‘super’ title. This was the veteran’s return to the ring after a long 2-year hiatus. To everyone’s surprise, the Filipino Senator didn’t really perform well, and he ended up losing the fight.
