Pacquiao shrugs off Bieber memes

Filipino boxing icon Manny Pacquiao shrugged off Internet memes following his loss to Mexican boxer Juan Manuel last Saturday, including the Instagram photos of pop superstar Justin Bieber.

Upon his arrival at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) Wednesday morning, Pacquiao said he would just pray for those who made fun of his loss.

"Sabi nga ng kautusan ng Panginoon, pray for those who persecuted you. So we will pray for them, we will pray for them, okay? Patawarin natin sila," he told ABS-CBN News.

Bieber, who has millions of followers on Instagram and Twitter, posted pictures of Pacquiao leaning with Michael Jackson on the dance floor and "Lion King" character waking up the knocked out boxer who fell in the canvass unconscious for about half a minute.

While these photos got the ire of many Filipinos (with the hashtag #RespectThePhilippinesBieber trended worldwide on Twitter), some of the "Beliebers" (Bieber's fans) said they found no harm in the photos and were actually funny.

The photos were accompanied by a series of captions about the possible fight between Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather Jr., whom Bieber is known to be close with.

"[Mayweather] has nothing to gain fighting Pacqiao. Floyd has never in his professional career lost a fight and Pacqiao lost his last two fights," he said.

"If Floyd wins it's not that big of a deal cuz it would be his third loss in a row, and if he loses he's gonna ruin his legacy either way there's no big win for Mayweather.. Mayweather is boxing," he added.

Bieber also expressed confidence on his "true" fans' loyalty:

"If they were Beliebers, I know they wouldn't leave my side over a boxing opinion I have," the 18-year-old singer said.
