Looks like Manny is virtually guaranteed a senate seat on May 9 with how the polling is looking right now. I was always on the Floyd side of most Floyd vs Manny topics, but rooting for Manny to win this & do some good things in the world outside of boxing.
The top 12 win seats. These seats have 6 year terms with a workload that will insure Manny won't be able to continue his boxing career by most accounts. So the Manny comeback talk should end until 2022 if he comes in the top 12 on May 9.

SARANGANI Rep. Manny Pacquiao, fresh from his demolition of American Timothy Bradley, has slugged his way up in the senatorial race.
The 37-year-old Pacquiao has moved up to third behind front-runners, Senators Franklin Drilon and Vicente Sotto III, according to the results of the latest Social Weather Stations (SWS) survey.
Of the 1,800 registered voters interviewed for the survey, 37 percent indicated preference for the Filipino boxing icon.
The survey was conducted from April 18 to 20, more than a week after Pacquiao scored a decisive unanimous decision over Bradley after dropping him twice in their April 9 fight in Las Vegas, Nevada. After the fight, he indicated retirement to serve the people.
The survey had a margin of error of plus-or-minus 2 percentage points.
