Spotify creates mixtape for Pacquiao


MANILA - Spotify Philippines is wishing Filipino boxing icon Manny Pacquiao the best of luck in his upcoming fight against unbeaten American boxer Chris Algieri.

On Thursday, the local arm of the international music streaming service created a 17-song playlist called "Good Luck Manny!"

It spelled out the following message with song titles: "Hey, good luck Pac Man. We wish you all the best. We know it will be one amazing fight and again you will make all of us proud."

Pacquiao is currently in Macau preparing and promoting the fight, accompanied by an entourage of at least 350 people. He remains a heavy favorite against Algieri, with one Filipino analyst calling the bout a "mismatch."

Spotify recently came under fire for criticizing singer-songwriter Taylor Swift for not making her latest album available immediately on the streaming service.

Swift has since pulled most of her catalog from Spotify, prompting the service to create a similar mixtape spelling out: "Hey Taylor, we wanted to play your amazing love songs and they’re not here right now. We want you back with us and so do, do, do your fans."
