- Manny Pacquiao is a known die-hard Golden State Warrior fan.
- In fact, the senator has a forged a relationship with Warriors star guard Stephen Curry through the years.
- The boxing icon also believed that Cleveland Cavaliers would not win against The Warriors.
- To show his intense support as a fan, the senator stressed that he would walk from General Santos City to Tinoto if the Cavs pulled off any comeback against State Warriors.
- Luckily for Manny, The Warriors won the Game 5 of NBA Finals — saving the senator from taking a 29-kilometer walk.
Golden State Warriors just save Senator Manny Pacquiao from walking from General Santos City to Tinoto in Mindanao.
People anticipated the Pambansang Kamao to fufill his promise; but on June 13, at around 12PM, Golden State Warriors closed the Game 5 of NBA Finals by scoring 129 versus Cleveland’s 120.
The senator has been a Golden State fan for quite some time. Yesterday, June 12, he confidently announced that he would walk from General Santos City to Tinoto. A quick check on Google Maps shows that Tinoto is more than 29 kilometers away from General Santos City — a 6-hour travel by foot.
He said in an interview with GMA News reporter Mav Gonzales, “’Pag nag-champion Cavs, maglalakad ako mula GenSan to Tinoto, malayo ‘yon.”
But now that The Warriors has secured the championship trophy over Cavs, the boxing icon’s statement is not gonna happen anytime soon.
