CAGAYAN DE ORO CITY — The recent pronouncement of IBF Superbantamweight boxing champion Manny Pacquiao to go into boxing promotion once he retires is good news for professional boxing in the country. That is one boost for an ailing sport
While this is good news for boxing, let us not deceive ourselves. One more boxing promoter and sports patron would not make the state of boxing in this country any better, overnight. It takes more than that to address the multi faceted problems of professional boxing in the country.
If ever, the entry of Pacquiao into boxing promotion would mean additional opportunities for aspiring boxers to realize their dreams in the cruel sports of boxing.
