Manny Pacquiao has already made post-retirement plans. He has a couple of fights left in him, but once those are done, he knows what’s next for him.
Legendary boxing trainer Freddie Roach said that Manny Pacquiao wants to fight twice before running for president of the Philippines. Yes, he wants to contend for presidentship once he’s done with his boxing career. This step won’t be that unusual for Pacquiao, considering he has already served as a senator in the Philippines for the past four years.
