Pacquiao Evens Out Career as Boxer and Politician


Manny Pacquiao levels out his responsibilities as the world’s greatest boxer, as well as an honorable congressman of Sarangani, Philippines. While the famous champ is busy with both careers, trainer Freddie Roach tries to figure out the key to beat down former WBA welterweight super champion, Shane Mosley.

Pacquiao has to defend his WBO welterweight title against Mosley, the winner of three weight division titles on May 7 in Nevada, Las Vegas. Because of this, the hailed pound-for-pound king of new era boxing has to take a break from his role as a congressman in the Philippines.

Manny Pacquiao is set to meet with Harry Reid, the Senate Majority Leader of United States. According to Pacquiao, they will talk about some political issues. However, he added no further details regarding the occasion.

The boxing legend says he still finds excitement inside the ring, but he also wants to pursue his career as a legislator in the Congress of the Philippines.

Pacquiao coined the anti-human trafficking bill and helped raise the funds to construct a hospital that will cater to his fellow countrymen in the province of Sarangani.

Pacquiao, 32-years old, won over Joshua Clottey, as well as Antonio Margarito last year. He has a fight record of 52-3-2. Meanwhile, Mosley, who has 7.5 inch advantage to Pacquiao, lost a fight against Floyd Mayweather through a decision and an even fight with Sergio Mora. The 39-year-old boxer has 46-6-1 record.

The upcoming fight between the two living legends is fast approaching. Tickets to the event are almost sold out. With Pacquiao’s speed and punching power, and Mosley’s experience inside the ring, the event is indeed a much awaited fight.

Manny Pacquiao Aims Further Greatness in Boxing


Manny Pacquiao intends to improve his place in the boxing profession while Antonio Margarito gets a chance to redeem himself when both face each other this Saturday for the greatly anticipated WBC super welterweight match.

The Filipino boxer, Manny Pacquiao has already established his name as one of the finest offensive fighters of all time. With 38 knockouts, he is expected to beat his opponent, Margarito, at the Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, Texas.

Margarito, the Mexican boxer has a significant advantage over Pacquiao when it comes to his height and weight. However, the Asian boxer is much faster and holds the strong desire to get his eighth world title.

During one of his trainings, Pacquiao said that he doesn’t need to prove anything more in boxing. Pacquiao had already achieved what he wanted in boxing.

However, his main concern right now is to maintain his achievements and entertain people through his performance.

Manny “Pacman” Pacquiao previously beat Ghanaian Joshua Clottey March of this year. After the match, he also won a seat in his mainland’s national congress elections.

Pacquiao informed that this is the fight that he has been waiting for. He believes he can give a good fight against Margarito, who is also known as an aggressive fighter and throws a lot of punches.

Primarily known for his quick hand speed and strong left punch, Pacman has been known as a two-fisted fighter. His trainer, Freddie Roach predicts Margarito’s knockout within the first three rounds.

Margarito is glad to be back in the ring since the last time he lost to Shane Mosley in a WBC welterweight title match in January 2009.
