Only Madame Auring, the Pinay seer who knows all, sees all but seldom tells all unless the price is right, really knows.
The gypsy blood of Madame A allows her to see things that others, particularly those with glaucoma and other vision problems, cannot.
So I’m a bit amused when people ask me, which they do quite often, as to how many bouts beyond the Nov. 14 date with Miguel I’m No Angel Cotto, that Manny Pacquiao will actually have before hanging up his Reyes gloves for good.
“Two or three” says trainer Coach Freddie Roach, a fighter who stayed too long at the fair himself despite his good healthy intentions.
“Three” is what I’m hearing that Pacman says.
As a famous magazine cover (Sports Illustrated) once said of Muhammad Ali, “The future is a mist.”
When will Packy quit? It's a navel gazing game the entire family can play.
Pacquiao turns a not so ripe, old 31 in December and that’s with immense wealth, his health and other occupations (politician, celebrity, celebrity-politician) more than open to him, and with his comely wife Jinkee prodding him, Pacquiao will see the door retirement as a wise move.
Despite his political plans in Sarangani, my often cracked (or smoking crack?) crystal ball shows Pacman fighting the unavoidable mega bout against Floyd Mayweather Jr. in 2010.
Former Malacanang operative Hammerin’ Hermie Rivera views the ops in Sarangani as a mail it in effort for Pacman meaning the fighter need not strain himself or go door to door introducing himself to the star struck electorate.
