Doesn’t take away what he did to be a boxer. You don’t have to agree with people’s opinions to respect what they’ve done in other fields

Him believing that a human is below an animal because of their sexual preferences does take away from his accomplishments, both in sport and his philanthropic efforts. Further, he supports the killing of humans to fight the war on drugs. Ironically he used to do drugs, so it's a bit hypocritical of him.
You absolutely can judge the character of a person, which impacts their accomplishments, based on what they believe in.

You might not have to but I lose a lot of respect for someone overall when it turns out they are a horrible person.

Who gives a shit if he was a good boxer or what he did to achieve that. The second he is shown to be a disgusting human all his accolades go out the window. He is no longer Manny Pacquiao the boxer, he is Manny Pacquiao the biggot loser hypocrite.

Because boxing is what he's famous for dummy. He didn't go to the boxing gym trying to be the next fucking Elvis Presley.
