EXCLUSIVE
Manny Pacquiao says he made a “mistake” by saying gay people are worse than animals earlier this year — but stands firm on his anti-gay beliefs.
PacMan was promoting his upcoming fight against Jessie Vargas when he told us he regretted making the comments back in February … saying, “I’m just human. Nobody’s perfect.”
Of course, Manny started a firestorm when he went on a TV show in the Philippines and said heterosexuality is “common sense” — you’d have to be dumber than an animal to not understand.
Pacquiao was fired by Nike and banned from The Grove shopping center in L.A. in the wake of his comments — but now, he’s expressing remorse … kinda.
