00:00 Yesterday, he was challenged by the 8th Division World Champion Manny Pacquiao,
00:04 who is being planned by the Filipino boxing megastar
00:07 who will be participating in the 2024 Paris Olympics
00:10 to win a gold medal in the country.
00:13 In Pacman's journey in this mission,
00:16 what will be the effect of this on his legacy
00:18 and what are the obstacles he will face?
00:22 The answer to these questions in the story of Rafael Banderet.
00:27 After the world of professional boxing was destroyed
00:30 hundreds of years ago,
00:32 where his kingdom was divided into 8 divisions,
00:35 Pacquiao's next goal as a countryman
00:38 is to win a gold medal in the Olympics.
00:41 This is what the Philippine Olympic Committee President
00:44 Abraham "Bumble" Tolentino announced to the media yesterday.
00:48 According to Filipino boxing analyst JMC Yasat,
00:51 if Pacquiao will succeed here,
00:53 there is no doubt that he will make his unforgettable
00:56 legacy in the future.
00:58 That move is so smart.
01:00 Being an 8th Division World Champion,
01:03 how do you even enhance the legacy that you have already created?
01:08 It's hard to think about it.
01:10 How is it even possible that you even widen,
01:13 you raise the legacy that you left in boxing.
01:18 And you know what? An Olympic gold medal.
01:20 It's actually genius if you think about it.
01:24 Pacquiao has 3 ways to qualify for the Olympics.
01:29 He has 2 qualifying windows that he can use
01:32 in the 2nd quarter of 2024.
01:34 Third is the automatic qualification
01:37 through the universality rule
01:39 that Pacquiao can receive from the International Olympic Committee.
01:43 If Yasat will ask,
01:45 the universality rule is what Pacquiao sees
01:47 when he enters the Paris Olympics.
01:50 Let's be direct.
01:52 Manning is doing a lot of things.
01:54 He has a lot of plans.
01:56 When he announced that he will fight
02:00 Buakaw, Banchamek,
02:02 he announced that he will fight Prescon.
02:04 Did we hear about the date?
02:07 Did we hear about the venue?
02:09 That was not his first time.
02:12 When did he have that?
02:14 There's a reason.
02:16 He's supposed to fight this fighter,
02:18 this fighter, there's an exhibition like this,
02:20 there's an exhibition like this.
02:22 The question is, Rafael,
02:24 it's August 2023 already.
02:26 So this is the universality rule.
02:28 If he will just be thrown,
02:30 maybe there's a chance.
02:32 Meanwhile,
02:34 what is the biggest challenge
02:36 that is waiting for the former senator
02:38 if he will continue his career in the Olympic boxing?
02:40 The limitation here is,
02:42 of course,
02:44 Manning Pacquiao flourished in professional boxing
02:46 because his style is for professional.
02:48 He goes for the kill.
02:50 When you transition to Olympic boxing,
02:52 to amateur boxing,
02:54 that's not always the style that's going to work.
02:56 When you talk about amateur boxing,
02:58 you talk about not just going to hurt your opponent.
03:00 It's more about scoring,
03:02 more than anything.
03:04 Pacquiao's intention to flourish in the Olympics
03:08 has not changed.
03:10 However, in the past,
03:12 professionals like Pacman were not allowed to flourish here.
03:14 A regulation that changed
03:16 the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.
