Following news that he had been dropped by lead sponsor Nike, Foot Locker have revealed to Gay Star Business that they are no longer in contract with boxer Matty Pacquiao and have no plans to work with him again.
Pacquiao shot a commercial for Foot Locker that was aired last year. Forbes estimate that the Philippino boxer earned around $12million (€10.8million) in endorsement deals in 2015 – listing Nike, Foot Locker, Nestle and Wonderful Pistachio’s as chief among these. He was the second highest-paid celebrity of the year, raking in around $160million (€144million) – the bulk of which came from his earnings for fighting Floyd Weather Jnr.
On Wednesday, Nike issued a statement saying that it was dropping its endorsement of Pacquiao following controversial comments he had made relating to gay couples.
Both Nestle and Wonderful Pistachios issued statements saying that they had worked with him last year but were no longer contracted to him.
Approached for comment for Gay Star Business, a spokesperson for Foot Locker said: ‘Foot Locker worked with Manny Pacquiao briefly and we are no longer in contract with him and have no plans to work with him.’
The statement was welcomed by Ian Johnson, of LGBT marketing consultancy Out Now.
‘The lesson is clear,’ he told Gay Star Business. ‘In many significant markets around the world, the ‘tipping point’ is passed.
‘More people choose to be allies of LGBT people than are motivated by anti-LGBT sentiment. To a brand the decision is simple: it is not only being seen to be doing the ‘right’ thing – it is also smart business.
‘People who are anti-LGBT are finding it harder than ever to seek a commercial platform from which to spread their feelings and this is something that LGBT young people especially ought to take great heart from.’
edi wag. daming kuda ng mga ito. ipako nyo nalang sa krus si manny para matigil na kayo. para mapag bayaran nya lahat ng kasalanan nya sa inyo.
ReplyDeleteWell business is business! Whether we like it or not, LGBT is a serious matter in the US and brands will not dare to get involved with endorsers who verbalizes disapproval of the LGBT community.
Deletewe the lgbt forgive for you are an ignorant fool. I hope you find happiness in your life ;-)
DeleteOA naman comment mo. Gusto pang gawing Diyos si Manny.
DeleteBigotry is so strong with this one! LOL LOL
DeleteLol korek. Na hype masyado ng LGBT comm. Tong issue na to. Nangyayare tuloy, sila ang lumalabas na judgmental. Tama na. Sickening issue.
Deletelapit na semana santa . hintay lang
DeleteTalo pikon
Delete3:41 Discrimination has no place in the world honey.
DeleteDont be stupid and Bitter!
Be careful what you wish for.
DeleteE di ipako.
DeleteWalang pinagkaiba itong LGBT sa Islam ng mga Muslim! Pareho kasi ng motto! Sila yung mga una pinaglalaban mga "rights" dahil inaapi o naaapi pero nung umangat at lumaki na gusto ng LAHAT sila ang magpatakbo at pati mga same LGBT at Islamic muslim na nila ang inoopress! The claiming to be opressed is now the opressor! And they are from Satan's Equality, Liberty, Fraternity!
Deleteutut magsama kayo ni manny. magpakuan kayo sa ulo.
DeleteAng arte mo! Business kasi yan! Wag nyo masyado personalin.
DeleteKala mo naman ang laki ng kasalanan ni Manny, di ba? Ang aarte nitong mga Baks!
DeleteTrue! Para namang napakalaking kasalanan ni Pacquiao, yung tipong andaming namatay kung makapag-react sila.
DeleteKung pede nga lang balatan muna ng buhay at ipako saka silaban para makabawi lng sa pangiinsulto panghuhusga at panghahamak ng unggoy na yan..alam mo araw2 ng buhay namin my discrimination lalo na sa pilipinas..sa SG nmn ndi ganyan..pantay2 lht walang pakealamanan..sa interview d2 sa pinas minsan tinatanong nila ako kng tomboy ba ako tama ba un??pati sa CR ndi ko na dn alam san ako iihi..napaka mapanghusga ng lipunan lalo ng kapwa pilipino..ndi ka inaano sasabihan ka pa mas masahol pa sa hayop..
Deletehugot fan.. haha
DeleteAnon 10:02 kayo ang maarte. kayo ang namemersonal. feeling nyo aping api kayo. hypocrites!
DeleteSadly, kahit fan sila ni Manny malulugi ang business nila, especially kung may issue katulad nung sinabi nya about sa LGBT. It will affect the business talaga. They're playing safe din naman.
DeleteManny made a mistake, pero he didn't realize the consequences of his actions.
So may bago na naman na susunugin yung tao?
ReplyDeletePro LGBT kasi ang US kaya ganiyan.
Deletewho cares, alam na pera pera lang,,, the world really is governed by commercialism.. it's all about the money, money, money.
ReplyDeleteAyun... so lumabas din ang totoong kulay? so u mean to say para sa idol mo pera-pera lang? I thought he is a Christian?
Delete6:25 - HAHA. Correct!
Deletemeaning, because of money, people are willing to lose their morals. gnun ibig ko sabihin, giant companies prefer to distance themselves from manny for the fear of losing buyers. :)
DeleteHindi nman anti-lgbt si manny, anti-same sex marriage.
ReplyDeleteGanun din yun teh, ano kayo lang ba pwede mag-se* ganern???
Deletehow come sex before marriage is also a no-no in the bible but is commonly practiced nowadays? same with self pleasure?
DeleteOMG. -1000 IQ levels.
DeleteIt pays to be humble
ReplyDeleteMore like "that's what you get for being a bigot!" :P
DeleteNext indoorsment will be marikina shoes!!! Go manny ur not alone in supporting the LGBT.its who you are that is important and not the shoes you wearing
ReplyDeleteOA na issue... My Lord! Ang daming problema mas malalim kesa sa hurt na feelings.
ReplyDeleteIkaw ang OA kasi wala ka naman nagagawa para masolve iyong mga mas malalim na problema.
DeleteGreat and true friends would stick with you no matter what so the outcome is still good for manny.
ReplyDeleteAmerican brand kasi mga yan kung san mas accepted mga gays. Kung dito sa pinas yan wala nmn maglalaglag ke pacquiao as endorser. Hirap kantiin ng mga bakla. Peede nilang gamitin palagi as trump card un discrimination haha
ReplyDeleteGays are the new master race!
ReplyDeleteso parang sinasbi nyo na kmi pang mga straight ang mag ingat sa pananalita tungkol sa inyo??? i have tons of gay friends pero anti gay marriage ako. tama n ung ipkita nyo sa buong mundo n mahal nyo isat isa wag nyo nmn crain ang salita ng diyos bawal kau magpakasal! to be honest lance bass of nsync is my crush from nsync era until now kya i do respect gay community.grabe xa! go manny!
ReplyDeleteBawal magopinion ang mga straight. LGBT lang ang pedeng magopinion at yung mga kunwari pro-LGBT.
Delete-DONYA VICTORINA
Kaya nga nega ang dating ng LGBT community sa bansa natin. Kapag oppose ka sa kanilang beliefs, kinukuyog ka nila.
Deletekung yan talaga ang pananaw mo, don't consider yourself their friend kasi hindi kapakanan nila iniisip mo...pipigilan mo silang marecognize ng law ang pagmamahalan nila dahil sinisira ang utos ng diyos? being a straight male, parang di parin tama ung logic...kasi civil wedding naman and not church wedding...they just want the same civil rights that everyone is entitled to...and if ang rason ay kasiraan sa simbolo.ng pagpapakasal, di pa ba kasiraan aa utos ng diyos ang pagpapakasal ng mga straight na kadalasan ay nauuwi sa pangangaliwa at divorce or annulment? respeto lang yan...basta't walang nasasaktang sino man, everyone should have the same basic rights. right to live, right to love.
Deleteyes bwal magbigay ng opinyon ang straight sa lgbt.pero sila pedeng pede.pede ka din nila pagtawanan at pagtripan.
DeleteSo true @4:11
Deletetumfact ka jan 4:11
DeleteGrabe kitid mo 5:38 ah, hindi lahat naniniwala sa dyos mo, kaloka kamusta naman ang buddhist at shintoism? Civil wedding lang naman ang habol ng mga bakla eh ipinagdadamot mo pa? Sino ka?? Tapos sasabihin mo kaibigan mo yung mga baklang kakilala mo pero ayaw mo silang lumigaya? Plastic mo uy!!!
DeleteI AM ANTI-OPPOSITE SEX MARRIAGE.
Deleteserves him right.
ReplyDeleteAgreed!
DeleteSmart business is smart business. If Nike and Foot Locker continues to endorse Pacquiao, majority of their customers would think that they support his claims towards same-sex marriage. Ganun lang yun.
ReplyDeleteKung Nike "LANG" naman 'to, at kung di sila kawalan, eh baket mas madami pang tao ang affected kesa kay Pacquiao? LOL.
Wala kaming pake! Go Manny!
ReplyDeleteWala rin naman paki sa'yo iyong mga mayayamang kumpanya na iyan!
DeleteHe deserved it. He's a hypocrite with an unconvincing apology. I respect his opinion but the way he said it was wrong. He's a world renowned boxer who shouldnt spread idiocy and hate.
ReplyDeleteTroot! Di kasi alam ng iba kung gaano ka GRABE ang ginawa niya. Porket nagsorry ka na magiging ok na lahat? Public figure ka and to give that kind of opinion? Tsk tsk tsk.
Delete*Anon
Among susunod, parang malas c Manny sa taong to ah, sana di mka apekto sa laban nya.
ReplyDeleteSobrang paimportante ng LGBT community na prang Sa kanila nlng umiikot Ang mundo.
ReplyDeleteLalo na ngayon napatunayan nila na andami palang bahag ang buntot!
Deletesa totoo lang hindi lang sila ang nadidiscriminate at nakakakuha ng hndi mangandang opinyon kahit naman kme straight pero bkit hindi kame ganun kaingay na parang api palagi.. grabe mga spoiled brat ang mga yan.
DeleteHanap din kayo ng kakampi niyo. Hahaha!
Deletetingin mo bakit suportado LGBT ni Obama ng queen of england ng prime minister ng Canada ? siguro isipin mo ohhhh may rights pala.
DeleteWhen you give an opinion, be prepared to get an opinion on your opinion. It's Foot Locker's way of saying that they totally disagree with him.
ReplyDeleteThey only like you when you're up there and famous. The minute you're in hot water, laglag ka na. Thats how these big brands work.
ReplyDeleteThen I won't support brands that suppress opinions.
ReplyDeleteOK lang daw. Di mo naman daw afford iyong products nila.
DeleteI like Pacquuiao. He is not hateful he just told the truth
ReplyDeleteBabaero siya at sugarol and i'm just telling the truth!! Sunog na kaluluwa niya sa impyerno and that is super truth!!!
DeleteBut the question is, does he like you?
DeleteBWHAHAHAAHAH
ReplyDeleteayan ang yabang kasi!
yabang saan? Telling God's word as it is? Your mocking him and God's watching you.Be careful.
Deletenakakaawa na si Manny, sobra sobra naman pala magalit LGBT community. kakatakot huhu
ReplyDeleteChoose your battles, Manny! :D
DeleteKaramihan sa developed countries kinikilala talaga ang human rights. Seperation of church and state ang kelangan talaga ng pinas. Masyado tayong relihiyoso to think araw araw ang rape at patayan.
ReplyDeleteEh dun ka manirahan sa developed country,Get out if you can't take it.Why do we have to imitate the Western world full of their liberal,God trashing ways?
DeleteCORRECT! Kaya we're a hopeless case!
Deletebansang walang Divorce kasi mga elected politicians hindi progressive mag isip sa kapanan ng lahat. please vote wisely
Deleteso what? ang daming mga pangit ang image as if naman mga tao sumusunod kung sino ang endorser. ang nakikita ng mga tao yung quality ng product not the endorser. yes, may point ang endorser but not all the time... babaw ng mga stores na to..nakikisawsaw lang..
ReplyDeleteFunny how nike doesnt see itself as discriminating when they don't respect their workers. NIKE'S PRODUCTS ARE FROM CHEAP LABOR
ReplyDeleteManny doesn't care. He's got enough money that even his kids won't have to work in their lifetime.
ReplyDeleteAng pasensya hindi basta-basta nauubos pero ang pera nauubos.
DeleteOo nga. Respeto lang rin kasi minsan. Nag sorry naman siya bakit kailangan makalimutan lahat ng nagawa niya for the country? And I think alam naman ni Manny na mangyayari to kaya kebs lang.
ReplyDeleteYou have to give to him also for standing by his word.
Sorry. Most American brands do not tolerate bigotry.
DeleteDi bale
ReplyDeleteMayaman na si manny dami na sya negosyo
Eventually mauubos ang pera.
DeleteAyan na nawawala na isa isa. Goodluck jinkee.. Baka di kana makapag shopping
ReplyDeleteKaw dear magmumudmod sa kakatrabaho.Manny earned $125 million last year.Maski you take out taxes and he nets $90 million,thats 2 billion pesos you'll never earned in your lifetime.Take that -bitter,envious and hateful you.
DeleteKung sa Pinas ok lang lait laitin ang mga gays ibahin nyo sa US
ReplyDeletePacquiao needs to learn his lesson...
ReplyDeleteDont you think he already did? Ano gusto mo luluhod pa yan tsaka iiyak sa isang video tapos ipapa trend? My gulay.
Delete*Anon 12:26 PM
DeleteMadaming nabastos sa COMMENT nya. Don't expect a simple sorry can be ok for EVERYONE.
Buti nga hihihi...lht ng tao didistansya sau dhl mapanghusga ka ng kapwa mo..bkt yan ba ang tinuturo sau ng relihiyon mo??ang punahin mga mali ng kapwa mo..tignan mo dumi mo babaero at sigarol ka pati nanay mo nakiki apid..Ndi mangyayari ang lht ng ito kng ndi ka nagsimula magsalita ng masama..kht panoorin nyo pa ang uncut video un at un dn ang gusto nya sabihin..kng ndi ba binash yan tuloy2 pa dn panlalait ng lgbt yan e..jusko ang video nya tawang tawa pa habang sinasabi mas masahol pa sa hayop ang lgbt..digital ang karma tlga..self righteous arrogant bigot..u don't deserve respect
ReplyDeleteOh the hypocrisy. Your comment is hateful defined
DeleteAng tagal naman? Kung di na lang sya nagsaiita eh di walang issue!!!!
ReplyDeleteKung walang nagtanong, walang issue!!!
Deleteok lang iyan manny ang tao ay tao lang ang matakot tayo sa DIYOS WHO IS THE CREATOR OF ALL LIVING & NON LIVING THINGS just follow the will of God

ReplyDeleteAgree baks!
DeleteBe strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the LORD your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you."
ReplyDeletePinagsasabi nito. Nakita mo na ba Siya?
DeleteLahat ng mga yan mga nakikiLGBT lang naman for sure. Sadly, daming gumagamit sa pakikibaka ng LGBT para isulong yung sarili nilang kapakanan example, yung iba LGBT rights ang sigaw sa pangangampanya for govt office pero anong ginawa nung manalo? Yung iba LGBT rights kuno pero gusto lang maging malinis at ipartial kuno ang image para nga naman bumenta ang business nila. Sa dami ba naman ng nakikisawsaw sa sa LGBT di narin nila malaman sino ang totoo sa hindi. Tanggap nalang sila ng tanggap ng suporta kahit ginagamit sila. Sus. At least si Manny hindi nanggagamit ng tao, nagkamali sa pagdeliver ng stand nya pero hindi binabaliko ang paniniwala para makakuha ng public approval. Siya pa nga ang adversely affected sa nangyaring ito pero bilib ako hindi siya natitinag sa paniniwala nya.
ReplyDelete-DONYA VICTORINA
Sa panahon ngayon, hindi ka na pwede mag comment ng walang masasaktan. Karapatan din naman siguro ni Manny na sabihin niya yun. Ang pagkakamali lang is hindi niya nasabi yung message niya ng maayos. BUT HE APOLOGIZED. And guess who's the bigger man after all these???? For sure hindi to kawalan kay Manny. He's still rich as F.
ReplyDeletenawala naman respeto sa kanya worldwide sayang gustong gusto pa naman sya ng high profile celebrities . sayang talaga
Deletewala nmn bumibili sa footlocker
ReplyDeleteMeron, dun ako bumubili ng Nike ko.May angal?
DeleteBaka ikaw ang walang pambili
DeleteAko rin! You get your money's worth. Like when you buy a pair of Nike, you'll get the second pair at 50% off
Delete11:52 - Wala ka kasing pambili!
Deletestand with your belief and faith manny! I have lots of beki friends and I love them but the truth really hurts! Nike and footlocker should be proud of manny! He's not the type of politician who will try to please anyone just to get their votes. I admire you manny for having the courage to voice out your opinion and hindi katulad ng iba bow lang ng bow at playing safe just to win!
ReplyDeleteNaah. Both companies do not want to work with bigots like Manny. Sorry ka na lang!
Deletemahiya ka sa beki friends mo kasi sila kilala mo personally na mabait masaya bakit di mo tanggapin sila ng buong buon . unconditional love. si pacquiao kilala ka ba? doubt it pero pipiliin mo sya kesa tanggapin gay friends mo. hayyy isip nga teh
DeleteAyan na mga righteous burn again
ReplyDeleteSi manny nmn kasi ugat ng lahat ng ito...masyado masakit binitawan nyang salita..oo nga humingi sya ng tawad kasi na realized niya na masakit talaga sinabi niya..the damage is done..not all sorry needs... its ok in return..Time heal
ReplyDeletemanny should learn never to impose his religious beliefs to others. hindi naman lahat tulad nya ng paniniwala. respeto ang tawag dun.
ReplyDeleteI super agree with you. Pag usapin religion kasi medyo sensitive kaya mabuti pa quiet na lang. Tutal naman relasyon mo yan sa Diyos o kung kanino ka naniniwala.
DeleteHindi nya inimposed. He was asked for his opinion, sinabi nya lang.
Deleteparang oa na ah. manny keep believing in God's word.
ReplyDeleteLakas maka-God's word ni ateng! Ikaw ba sinusunod mo lahat ng nasa Biblya?
DeleteI try to, paki mo?
DeleteThe world is getting more civilized by accepting the LGBT community as normal & equal citizens with the same civil/legal rights as the heterosexual community. Times are really changing for the better.
ReplyDeleteI agree!!!
DeleteOk lang yan Manny, i think kung ano meron ka ngayon financially is more than enough to live for you and your family. Matuto nalang gamitin at iinvest ng maayos. Tara kape, usap tayo! Hahaha...
ReplyDeleteBoycott lang din d boycott d na kami bibili sa footlocker o Nike
ReplyDeleteboycott ka diyang US big company is all over the world kaya hindi nila kailangan ang bansa nating dahil ilang ba sa ating ang nakakabili ng mamahaling o authentic na sapatoskatulad ng Nike and to think Nike shoes like Jordan mabinta all over the world kaya mag boycott man kayo pinag tatawanan lang nila tayo
Delete2:37 - Kahit iboycott mo, walang effect! Majority of the Filipinos are POOR. Wala ngang pangkain e pang-Nike meron pa kaya?
DeleteParang may mali. Sabi nila ndiscriminate cla ni Pacman, kaya nagngangakngak cla sa social media. Pinintasan mula ulo hanggang paa, loob at labas na pagkatao pati pamilya ni Pacman. Ngpakababa na din siya at humingi ng dispensa, pero ayaw nyo pa din tumigil.Hindi ba bullying na yan? Wag ganun!
ReplyDeletesila lang daw may karatang manghamak ngtao.
Deletekasi maling mali talaga tanong mo pa sa world leaders .
DeleteYan ang bumubuhay kay pacman.
ReplyDeleteKung walang endorsement, hindi ganun kalaki ang kita niya. Kahit pa sabihin nyu you dont care. May impact yan sa kanya.
Hindi nyu kayang suklian ang milyones na nawala sa kanya
The word of the Lord is true and lives on. Sabi nga truth hurts.
ReplyDeleteMatthew 10:22
You will be hated by everyone because of me, but the one who stands firm to the end will be saved.
So true!
DeleteMatthew was a human being, whom like you, was not perfect.
Delete12:58 is missing the whole point.
Deletebawal kasing magcomment about lgbt community kasi sila lang talaga dapat ang may say sa lahat. they are not actually asking for equality, they are asking for special treatment. kung may bigot man dito ang mga lgbt yun. ano yun sila lang ang tama? duh. gasgas na gasgas naman ang discrimination sa knila kada kibot discrimination agad. sana nagiisip din minsan bago tumalak.
ReplyDeleteHow shallow of you to say that..bkt mauuto ba namin ang Nike at foot locker na dumistansya kay manny??dba may sariling isip at desisyon cla??bkt cla magpaimpluwensiya sa amin na mas masahol pa sa hayop??so ngayon nmn lht ng nangyayaring kamalasan kay manny sa lgbt nnmn ang sisi??bkt ndi nya sisihin ang makating dila nya para ndi cya nangyurak ng kapwa??isip2 ka dn pag my time
Deletetotoo para lagi silang api. wala naman problema kung paglaban nila karapatan nila pero minsan wala na sa lugar.
Deletei agree i am not against gays in fact i have gay friends that i love pero yung problema yung iba they demand acceptance from everyone without respecting other people's religious beliefs tsk3x
DeleteOk lang yan. Kumita na si manny sa inyo. Hindi nya rin kau kailangan.
ReplyDeletePoor Manny. Nobody wants to sign him anymore.
DeleteDont pity him, he'll still be rich in the kingdom of God.
DeleteMga feeling nng lgbt lagi silang api! Kung tutuusin special treatment na nga sila! Konting bagay lang, may reklamo agad!
ReplyDeletePag nalugi na si Pacman, iiwan din sya ng mga taong akala nya kakampi nya. Pinasokan nya yang politika, expect something even worst, especially sa pagiging self righteous.
ReplyDeleteGnyn talga nsa bible dti pa.if u keep faithful and voice out ur faith u will be prosecuted...
ReplyDeleteI really see that Manny is very strong with his faith - he helps people . I don't think takot din syang bumalik sa hirap Kung mangyari man yun-not sure about Jinky and Mommy D though.
ReplyDeleteSi Job nga binawian ng lahat lahat. Pera.lupain.alagang hayop.anak.
ReplyDeletePero d sya nagpatinag.
Tuloy padin si Job sa faith nya.
Siguro sa iba wala lang to. Siguro sa lgbt sila ang aping api sa isyu na to.
Pero on the other note i think may epekto din to sa mga Kristiyano dyan..
I think reminder din to kung hanggang saan ninyo mapaninindigan ang panananampalataya niyo.
Manny bago matapos ang 2016 at makita kong gumanda ulit ang takbo ng nangyayari sa buhay mo. I think pag iisisipan kong magbalik loob sa Diyos. Sa ngayob kasi sobrang hirap pa eh di ko pa kaya..
Naiisip ko din kasi what if mamatay ako tapis totoo pala talaga yung nasa Bible.
Nabasa ko kasi yung Nostradamus year 2020..
Tapis yung Chuna naghhanda na ng missile sa West Ph sea. Ang hirap naman nung mag WW3 tapos mamatay ka pagkagising mo nasa impyerno ka na...
For idiots like manny n his supporters u truly r ignorant wen it comes 2 discrimination esp. W/ d lgbt community... Only proves u r bigots n dont respect oder ppol's ryt... I dont think it' s jas business, f it s dapat pnatawad n kgad c mane... Gus2 nyo maging global db? So dapat aware kau s png global n sitwasyon ng buhay!
