It looks like Manny "Pacman" Pacquiao still want's to fight on May regardless of who will be his next opponent either Mayweather or another fighter worthy of facing him inside the ring. One fighter who recently won via unanimous decision is Keith Thurman. The fight is possible since Manny Pacquiao's adviser Al Haymon is Keith Thurmans promoter and manager. Take note that Al Haymon is also the adviser of Floyd Mayweather so that means door is not closed yet for Floyd Mayweather.
Why Manny wants to fight in May. The month of May is a significant month in Boxing. Cinco de Mayo is a boxing holiday and a lot of great fights are usually scheduled on this day (on or after the 5th day of May). One of them is the controversial Juan Manuel Marquez vs Manny Pacquiao last May 8, 2004 the fight ended in a draw. Also on May 5, 2007, Floyd Mayweather Jr. fought Oscar De La Hoya, Floyd gets the judges nod on this one. Another for Manny is last May 2, 2009 with Ricky Hatton, everyone knows how the fight ended. Lastly, May 2, 2015 Floyd Mayweather Jr. versus Manny Pacquiao and Floyd won over unanimous decision.
All of the said May fight happens with no Election year meaning Manny Pacquiao can easily go for training but this year is different since the politics in Philippines is in hot pick now
Yes maybe he will not running for position since he has another 3 years for being senator but the administration needs him more than now.the popularity of Pacquiao will be used to ensure that the senatorial slate of Duterte’s team winning together with other local position
I think it will happen last quarter of the year or atleast in third quarter ,though this are all speculative ideas of us all anyway
