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.
