Magic Johnson took to Twitter on Thursday to voice his displeasure with Manny Pacquiao over his recent homophobic comments. The anti-gay comments which Manny made recently continued even after Nike severed ties with the fighter. Magic wasn’t about to sit back without doing something, and he has made his stance very clear. Not only did Magic condemn the comments, but he vowed to boycott future Manny fights.
I applaud Nike for terminating Manny Pacquiao's contract after his derogatory statements that gay people are worse than animals.

Fans of all walks of life including gay fans supported May/Pac fight putting $100M in his pocket. I guess to him their money is still green.

I won't be watching another one of Manny Pacquiao's fights.

Words are great, but we really do hope Magic follows through on his promise. On the other hand, there is also a great chance that Manny will never fight again…
