Manny Pacquiao and Mexican Erik Morales, former rivals in the ring, met a couple of days ago at the house of the Philippine senator in Los Angeles, chatting about boxing, politics and vividly remembering their intense past rivalry.
Morales, now a congressman in the Chamber of Deputies of Mexico, went to interview Manny for Fox Sports.
While the two initially discussed Pacquiao’s next fight against Keith Thurman, the conversation finally shifted to the old days, especially about the boxing rivalry that led to a memorable trilogy.
The 40-year-old fighter said he was happy to see Morales again, especially now that the Mexican also serves his country.
After a pleasant interview and taking pictures together, Pacquiao sent a message to the president of Mexico, Andrés Manuel López Obrador:
“Hello Mr. President Andrés Manuel. How are you? This is Senator Manny Pacquiao. I hope to visit you in your country and look for a good relationship between the two Nationes. Thank you and may God bless you. “
