    Earlier, Nueva Ecija Representative Eduardo Joson filed House Bill (HB) 3743, which may prevent Pacquiao fighting inside the ring here in the Philippines if it becomes a law banning "violent sports," like boxing.

    Joson said boxing is a dangerous sport whose basic intent is to inflict physical injury on the opponent.

    Eduardo Joson needs to ban Cigarettes and Alcohol before he bans boxing if he is so concerned with peoples health.

    Does this make any sense?

    The phillipines has Pac who is a NATIONAL HERO and P4P Elite fighter who is involved in politics and pulls philipino's en masse and they want to ban boxing??

    Sounds like Pac's made a political enemy or 2:D

    I can't see boxing is anymore dangerous than martial arts(quite the opposite), which anyone and his dog is doing in the Phillapines

    with all the glory pacquiao is getting there..I am 100% sure that would not happen at all. I believe their president is even involved in boxing matters and so as many of their officials, plus the less crime during pacquiao's fights. A bill is just a bill unless signed by (i don't know the number of congressmen) congressmen and then it would be pass up to the senate, then the office of the president. Thats how it works
