帕奎奥的长期教练罗奇近日表示；帕奎奥最近的比赛表现的很好，如果这种状态能够继续保持的话，竞选总统之前不会退休。
也就是说，帕奎奥的第二人议员任期是2022年，2011年之前不会退休。引述阿鲁姆曾经说过的一样；“如果帕奎奥在2016年竞选参议员获胜，将会在2022年竞选总统”。
如果帕奎奥在2022年竞选副总统或总统的话，继续在赛场上获胜将是维持选民热度的最佳方式。
WBO Welterweight champion Manny Pacquiao won't be retiring anytime soon or at least after one year before his six-year term as Philippine senator ends in 2022.
Pacquiao's longtime trainer Freddie Roach spoke to Boxing News saying the fighting senator will give up boxing when he seeks a higher office.
“I would say maybe at some point soon [Pacquiao will retire]. He’s still really looked good in his last fights, he’s Manny Pacquiao, he’s got a mean streak in him. I don’t think that’s gone away,” Roach told Boxing News. “When he runs for president then he’ll give up! he added.
It is no secret Pacquiao is looking at the 2022 presidential elections when he may either run for vice-president or president of the Philippines.
Two years ago, Pacquiao's promoter Bob Arum was quoted to have said that Pacquiao would seek a senate post and if he wins he will run for president.
“He’s gonna be a president. He’s gonna run for Senate in the Philippines in 2016 … and then in 2022 or maybe later, he’ll run for president of the Philippines,” Arum said.
Pacquiao, a two-time congressman representing the lone district of Sarangani Province in Southern Philippines, has won a six year-term as a neophyte senator in the last national elections. His term expires in 2022.
Pacquiao has to stay popular in preparation for his vice-presidential or presidential bid in 2022 and one of the best way to remain popular among the voters is for him to keep on fighting and winning.
The 38-year-old neophyte senator is set to face unbeaten Australian challenger Jeff Horn on July 2 at the Suncorp Arena in Brisbane, Australia. |
