The eight-division world champion admitted that he was wrong to compare homosexuals to animals, but added that his opinion was based on the Bible and therefore the word of God should be honoured, Sport24 reported. Earlier, Pacquiao saw his reputation take a severe hit when he said that animals are better than homosexuals because they could distinguish between male and female. Although Pacquiao issued an apology on social media for his insensitive remarks, Sports brandNike decided to sever its eight-year-old tie with the boxer saying his comments were 'abhorrent'. Gay marriage is illegal in the Philippines due to strong resistance from the Catholic Church, with 80 per cent of the country's total population subscribing to the faith. His comments sparked outrage on social media as various celebrities slammed the boxer for his insensitive remark.
