Manny Pacquiao says he is leaving his political career permanently behind him in preparation for his big boxing comeback, proving that when one door shuts, another one opens.
After serving as a senator for the Philippines from 2016 to 2022, the eight-division boxing champion ran for president but lost by a significant margin.
We asked Pacquiao if he intended to take a similar path in the future by returning to politics, as the 46-year-old is making his boxing comeback against Mario Barrios on July 19 in Las Vegas, nearly four years after his last bout.
Pacquaio stated: “Politics is so dirty. Politics is so dirty. I don’t like that. I don’t like that. When I was in politics, I wanted to serve honestly. I want to serve people because that’s our legacy.”
“I’m still here,”, “As long as my body can fight, then I’ll fight.”
In addition to his complaints, Pacquiao, who has faced boxing heavyweights like Floyd Mayweather and Miguel Cotto, stated that his impending bout with Barrios (29-2) isn’t a one-and-done affair. He wants to fight as many fights as he can and pursue it full-time.
Though he maintains that he is strong enough to return to the ring, Manny stated that he is truly appreciative to people who are worried about his return.
We also spoke with Barrios, his opponent, and he gave us his thoughts on how he plans to face a legend.
