HOLLYWOOD?Truth be told, I don’t know if Manny Pacquiao will fight one more time or 10 more times.
Frankly, I don’t think he does, either, at this point, a couple of weeks before he fights Antonio Margarito at Cowboys Stadium.
Pacman didn’t really take the bait when I told him he did not look the ?shy, retiring type? as he exited Coach Freddie Roach’s Wild Card Gym Monday evening.
But, as he made the short walk out of his usual post-workout dining spot, Nat’s Thai Restaurant about two hours after dining with fans, friends, brother Bobby and conditioning/nutrition coach Alex Ariza at his side, I did make the 31 year old Fighting Congressmanny laugh about the topic.
It was Roach who recently suggested that the day is looming when the all time great fighter will hang up the gloves to concentrate on his political and business ambitions.
?Manny,? I said, ?you can’t retire.?
?How come?? Pacquiao said, offering a quizzical look.
?Because, Manny, if you retire anytime soon, then I can’t afford to retire.?
