"There is nothing more precious than human life,' Pacquiao said. "Boxing is truly a dangerous sport and the boxers deserve nothing but respect as they put their lives on the line. Other sports you play, but you don’t play boxing."
Pacquiao said he would pay for Egano's medical expenses.
"The entire agency of Games and Amusements Board mourns the passing of professional boxer Kenneth Egano," the GBA wrote. "Our condolences to Kenneth's family, relatives and friends. May his soul rest in peace."
"The whole Blow by Blow family is deeply saddened by the news that one of our beloved fighters, Kenneth Egano, has joined our creator [on Wednesday] afternoon. Kenneth was one of Blow by Blow's best young pugilists and had a potential to be a future champion," added Pacquiao's series.
