Manny Pacquiao and Erik Morales meet again

Former rivals reunite

Filipino 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."
