They correctly predicted that the Broncos would beat the odds and emerge victorious.

Pacquiao, had the followed tweeted from his account after the game: “After leading the Broncos to their Super Bowl 50 victory, I’m changing my name to Manning Pacquiao. Peyton Manning is an inspiration.”

Pacquiao will face five-time world champion Timothy “Desert Storm” Bradley Jr in the world welterweight championship bout in April.
