president when he finally hangs up his gloves.

run for President instead for Senator?
Excited to know more about the thoughts of Manny Pacquiao,
check out the whole story below!
In the latest celebrity update, the great Philippine boxer
Manny Pacquiao is harboring thoughts of running for president in his beloved
homeland when he finally retires from the ring.
Manny give his strongest hint that he will push to the top
of the political tree when he finally hangs up his gloves, He also admitted he
had considered the presidency of the 95 million-strong nation.
When Manny asked about if he had any thought of shooting for
top Job, he replied ‘Yes’.
The former world champion in eight weight divisions said that
he is drawing parallels between his pugilism and politics careers.
“When I started
boxing, of course I was planning, you know and thinking about getting to become
a champion. So when I enter politics it’s the same thing. But, you know, It’s
far away. It’s God’s will,” he said.
Prior to that, Pacquiao whose record stands at 54 wins, five
losses and two draws, must concentrate on his latest bout – a post
breakfast-time tear-up with US fighter Brandon Rios, kicking off at the
Venetian resort-hotel in Macau at 10:00 am on November 24, 2013.
The unconventional start time is for the benefit of the
lucrative US pay-per-view audience, who will be settling down to watch the
fight mid-evening on Saturday, as top US promoter Bob Arum attempts to elbow
his way into the China market.
Plus viewers will not be oblivious to the fact that it is
probably make or break time for Pacquiao’s boxing career.
Despite his last fight ending in a disastrous knockout, when
Juan Manuel Marquez caught him with a huge right hand that saw the Filipino
crumple to the canvas – his second successive defeat – Pacquiao refuses to entertain
the notion that he will lose a third straight bout, or retire.
On the other hand, He is 100 percent sure he would beat Rios
(31-1-1), giving him one more chance to regain his credibility and potentially
another shot at a world title.
“He’s OK but I can say he’s greasy
fighter and he loves to fight inside, he loves to fight toe-to-toe. This is
going to be a good fight—more action in the ring. Hopefully he won’t run away,”
he said.
Meanwhile, the one question that has for years dogged
Pacquiao – whether a dream clas with undefeated five-division world champion
Floyd Mayweather will ever happen?
“I’ve
stopped thinking about him because I don’t think he will fight me. I’ve been
waiting four years already,” he said.
