Pacquiao’s run of extreme bad luck


12:58 am | Thursday, January 3rd, 2013

IS BOXING icon Manny Paquiao a goner? From the looks of it, since he shifted to and embraced a new religion, a string of bad luck has been hounding him.

From his controversial loss to Timothy Bradley to his shocking knockout at the hands of Mexico’s Juan Manuel Marquez, misfortunes seem to be befalling him.

Is his “greed” for power, ostentatious lifestyle and most especially his boxing career coming to an end?  Or is he going to bounce back like the Phoenix?

Only God knows and only time will tell.
