A lot of people aren’t fans of Filipino boxer Manny Pacquiao these days. But one person tried to take his hate next level on Sunday by attacking the boxer — a week before his fight against Timothy Bradley — at a Los Angeles restaurant.
According to the Phillipine Star, Pacquiao was standing by his Ferrari when a white male came at him:

"I really thought he was going to hit Manny. He came in fast. He almost got to Manny," said David Sisson, MP personal asst @PhilippineStar

However, Manny was feeling generous and told his boys to not beat the guy up:
Assailant was held and pushed away from Pacquiao who ordered his companions not to hurt the person. @PhilippineStar

Pacquiao group did not call the police. Pacquiao tells his companions, hot under the collar, "Let him go. Let him go!" @PhilippineStar

Of course, we’re guessing people wouldn’t have lost sleep if the guy who said gay people are “worse than animals” got popped.
