EP 66: What's next for Senator Manny Pacquiao?

As journalists are only good as their last byline, boxers, too, are often gauged based on their last fight. 

In his more recent bout, Manny Pacquiao suffered a unanimous decision loss to a relatively unknown but an Olympic bronze medalist from Cuba. It was indeed an upset. 

But to define Pacquiao’s legacy based on the outcome would be irresponsible foolish even. 

Boxing’s only 8-division titlist, a champion in four different decades, Pacquiao has faced—and conquered—some of the biggest and fiercest names in the sport. 

So the lost to Yordenis Ugas definitely won’t tarnish Pacquiao’s legacy in the ring. 

But, at the same time, it raised the question — is it time for the Filipino to hang them up — a possibility Pacquiao himself mentioned after the fight. 

In this episode, we’ll break down what perhaps was his final bout and what’s next for Manny Pacquiao, who also happens to be a senator and likely presidential candidate next year.
