Manny Pacquiao will do four more fights after his trilogy with Juan Manuel Marquez on Nov. 12 and then hang up the gloves.
This is based upon Pacquiao’s biannual ring ritual and venerable promoter Bob Arum’s pronouncement to ESPNNewYork.com that the pound-for-pound king will stop fighting in November 2013.
Within that two-year span, Arum wants to insert Floyd Mayweather Jr. in the rotation.
Unlike the timetable, however, Arum is unsure whether Mayweather will finally take the bait after insisting on Olympic style drug testing for the megabuck bout with Pacquiao to happen.
“I’m more certain about when Pacquiao will be fighting than who,” Arum told TheSweetScience editor Michael Woods. “He’s going to fight in the spring, and he fights in fall; that’s the pattern we’ve had recently.”
While admitting that he’s keen on tangling with Mayweather, who’s slated to do battle with Victor Ortiz on Sept. 17, Pacquiao said he won’t lose a sleep if it doesn’t materialize.
In New York to further drum up interest on Pacquiao-Marquez III, the Sarangani representative said he’s satisfied with what he’s done and achieved in boxing.
Hall of Fame trainer Freddie Roach joined Pacquiao in the second leg of the world press tour and said his ward is going to knock out Marquez this time.
