Arman Armero, of the Manila Standard Today, reports that Filipino icon Manny Pacquaio may retire as early as 2007.
During an interview given to reporters on Wednesday in General Santos City, Pacquiao stunned the group of scribes with his retirement plan. Pacquiao is looking to get out of boxing before he suffers any kind of permanent injury, and he wants to focus on his string of businesses, including his promotional company - Manny Pacquiao Promotions.
“Maybe after about two fights, I will retire already. I want to personally supervise my business ventures. It really makes a difference when one manages his own business,” Pacquiao said.
Pacquuiao has a fight scheduled on November 18 trilogy bout with Erik Morales, live on pay-per-view from Las Vegas, Nevada, and would love to have Marco Antonio Barrera as his next opponent.
