Filipino boxing legend Manny Pacquiao has broken his silence in response to a controversial cheating confession made by renowned Filipino referee Carlos Padilla Jr. Padilla, 88, claimed that the match between Pacquiao, 43, and Australian boxer Nedal “Skinny” Hussein, 45, for the World Boxing Council (WBC) International super-bantamweight title match at the Ynares Center in Antipolo, Philippines, in October 2000 was rigged. Padilla appeared to admit to cheating to help Pacquiao win during an interview with the WBC last month.
