He answered it plain and simple for those who are still questioning whether Manny Pacquiao should continue fighting with his age already beyond 40.

Boxing is his passion, and that passion remains alive. That’s why he is fighting. It’s not about the money. It’s about him enjoying himself while at the same time bringing glory to his home country, the Philippines.

“Hard work is the most difficult thing in boxing,” the eight-division world champion said on his Instagram video.

“I’m so honored and thankful for the Filipino people for always being there and cheering and supporting me. That is where I get inspiration from your support and prayers.”

He is only weeks away from his ring return to challenge the belts of the undefeated unified welterweight champion Errol Spence.

“God is good all the time. Always protecting me, giving me strength, and keeping me safe.”

“Boxing is my passion, and I want to fight the best. It means a lot to win this fight, and it’s imperative that I can bring another honor to my country.”
