Manny Pacquiao ok with Nike’s decision to cut ties

Boxing star Manny Pacquiao says he respects Nike’s decision to sever ties with him over his comments about gay relationships, but remained firm on his opposition to same-sex marriage and added he’s happy that “a lot of people were alarmed by the truth.”

The sportswear giant confirmed it will no longer have any business dealings with the Filipino boxing champion, adding it found his comments “abhorrent.”

Nike says it strongly opposes any kind of discrimination.
