The new ‘Pacquiao Gym’ is a collaboration with Japanese businessman Yoshihiro Agata. It will open next year and the Filipino said it was an opportunity to pass on his experience to help the people to do exercise and also to discover a good boxer, reports the Indian Express.
He added that he can share his knowledge about boxing and his talents. He also promised to teach boxing upstarts if he is in the gym.
While Manny Pacquiao proved victorious in his comeback fight from his brief retirement, many critics are saying that the Pacman hardly went on retirement.
His last fight was on April 9 this year where he also won via unanimous decision over Timothy Bradley. Immediately after the fight, he decided to retire to focus on his campaign as he was then running for one of the 12 seats in the Philippine Senate.
He won during the May 9 elections and officially became a Senator on June 30. He started working in the Senate in the last week of July after the opening of the 17th Congress.
A little over a week later or in the first week of August, he announced that he was coming out of retirement and declared that he will vie for the WBO welterweight championship against Jessie Vargas. He trained in the Philippines since then before flying to the US less than three weeks before the fight.
