If reports coming are anything to go by, we may be preparing to see the curtains fall on the illustrious career of Manny Pacquiao as he is set to fight the last time in 2016.
Pacquiao’s promoter Bob Arum was out at Craig’s, a popular restaurant in West Hollywood, on Tuesday night when he told TMZ that Manny is planning to fight again next year once he heals up - but that’s probably the very last bout for the 36-year-old:
Manny has been involved in politics for years in the Philippines, and has been elected to Congress twice before.
Pacquiao will turn 37 in December. His career record stands at 57-6-2, with 38 victories coming by way of knockout.
He’ll go down as one of the best boxers ever, and a hero in his home country, regardless of how his final bout turns out by virtue of some of his memorable wars over the years and becoming the first (and so far only) world champion in eight different weight classes.
His last bout came on May 2 of this year against Floyd Mayweather, which he lost by unanimous decision in a technically-sound but nonetheless disappointing bout.
