Boxing Champ Manny Pacquiao To Retire? Posted at 3/24/2010 12:58:00 PM 0 comments (+) The Filipino boxing star is already considering retirement upon his mother’s wish.

Mommy Dionisia said she is constantly worried about her son each time he climbs in the ring, especially because his past few fights were against bigger opponents.

Pacquiao said he understands Mommy Dionisia’s concern for his safety in the ring.

“Syempre after kay [Miguel] Cotto nakiusap ako sa Mama ko, ‘Isang laban pa.' Pinagbigyan niya ako. Sa ngayon, paano pa ako makiusap ulit? Ano bang sabihin ko?” he said.

He also mentioned that his political ambition has nothing to do with his retirement plans.

“Kahit naman wala ‘yung eleksyon, walang pulitika, depende na sa desisyon naming pamilya. Matagal na kasi ako, matagal na rin sa boxing. Marami na akong nabigay na karangalan sa ating bansa,” said Pacquiao, who is vying for a congressional seat in the Sarangani Province.
