MANILA \u2013 Filipino boxing star Manny Pacquiao was reportedly attacked by an unidentified person in a parking lot in Kabuki restaurant in Los Angeles, according to reports.<\/p>\n

\u201cManny Pacquiao was attacked by unknown guy at parking lot of Kabuki restaurant earlier. Pacman was not hurt though,\u201d sportswriter Gerry Ramos of SPIN.ph said in his Twitter account.<\/p>\n

Abac Cordero, sportswriter of the Philippine Star, twitted: \u201cPacquiao was by the door of his Ferrari when the person rushed to him. Held back, person kept shouting f…k y.. Pacquiao.”<\/p>\n

Pacquiao\u2019s group did not call the police as the Filipino boxing superstar ordered his companions to release the unknown attacker.<\/p>\n

Pacquiao is on his last week of preparation for his third fight against American Timothy Bradley on April 10 (Manila Time) in Las Vegas.<\/p>\n

The Filipino fighter-turned-politician, who is seeking a senatorial seat in the May 9 elections, has earned the ire of the lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) members over his recent anti-gay comment.<\/p>\n

As a born-again Christian, Pacquiao has denounced same-sex marriage, calling the act as \u201cworse than animals.\u201d<\/p>\n

Pacquiao has apologized, claiming his statements were taken out of context. However, he still maintained his opposition to same-sex marriage.<\/p>\n

Bradley reportedly expressed concerns that Pacquiao\u2019s comments against LGBT will have impact on their ticket sales.<\/p>\n

Pacquiao is coming off a unanimous victory against undefeated Floyd Mayweather Jr. and will return inside the ring with 57-6-2 records with 38 knockouts against Bradley\u2019s 33-1-1, 13 Kos.<\/p>\n

In their first meeting in June 2012, Bradley escaped a split decision while Pacquiao came back with a unanimous decision win in their second encounter on April 12, 2014.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
