Manny Pacquiao is feeling better now and could return to training soon, his promoter Bob Arum announced. The Filipino boxer is just coming off a loss to Floyd Mayweather Jr last May 2.
After the fight, Pacman revealed to media that he had a shoulder injury a night before his bout with Floyd. This revelation of his garnered different reactions from fans. The most upset about is Floyd he retracted his interest to give a rematch.
"Manny says he has been doing well. He said he has been feeling better," Arum said in an interview with ESPN.
After several check-up and good result, Arum said Manny Pacquiao is expected to start his rehab in the United States.
"He will start his serious rehab. He'll stay here for probably about two weeks and then he will go back to the Philippines. One of the rehab guys will go with him to make sure he is doing his rehab program the right way," said Arum.
Although it has been two months since the Manny Pacquiao-Floyd Mayweather fight, the rivalry between the two continues. This time, however, they are taking the fight to a federal court.
Reports say Team Pacquiao is suing Team Mayweather for a $100 million lawsuit for anti-trust concerning the promotion of the fight. The 50-page lawsuit was filed in a Los Angeles federal court and addressed to Al Haymon, operator of the Premier Boxing Champions and promoter of Floyd Mayweather Jr.
"Top Rank claims Haymon has been using unsavory tactics to monopolize the boxing industry - including illegally blocking fights, blocking venues and freezing out other promoters, including Top Rank and Jay Z's Roc Nation Sports company.
Top Rank claims Haymon - who "famously runs his empire from an old school flip phone" - is leveraging his impressive client list (which includes Mayweather, Adrian Broner, Danny Garcia and more) to monopolize the boxing industry."
Haymon has responded on the lawsuit filed by Manny Pacquiao's camp saying it is "entirely without merit and is a cynical attempt by boxing's old guard to use the courts to undermine the accessibility, credibility and exposure of boxing that the sport so desperately needs."
