MANILA, Philippines (AP) —
Manny Pacquiao doubts
he will have a rematch
with Floyd Mayweather
because the American
says he’s retiring. And be-
sides, boxing is not his prior-
ity these days.
Mayweather beat Pac-
quiao in boxing’s richest
fight in May, and after he
defeated Andre Berto last
week for the 49th win of
his undefeated career, he
said he will retire.
“Boxing is not my focus be-
cause I can only fight next
year, to give my shoul-
der a rest,” Pacquiao told
The Associated Press on
Wednesday.
Pacquiao was still rehabili-
tating the right rotator cuff
that was injured before the
fight, and had surgery for
afterwards.
As a congressman, he said
he was focused on build-
ing homes for the homeless
in his southern home prov-
ince of Sarangani.
