Boxing-Fans flock to see beaten Pacquiao arrive back in Manila (Reuters)
By Peter Blaza MANILA, May 13 (Reuters) – An injured Manny Pacquiao arrived back in the Philippines to a hero’s welcome on Wednesday, the boxer still adamant he did enough to win his welterweight megabout against Floyd Mayweather Jr at the start of the month. The 36-year-old southpaw was wearing a sling on his right arm following shoulder surgery on a torn rotator cuff suffered prior to his unanimous points decision loss to the American in the heavily hyped fight in Las Vegas on May 2. Pacquiao, a world champion a eight different weight classes and regarded as one of the sport’s great entertainers, was sued in a U.S. court last week by two people who felt defrauded by his failure to disclose the pre-bout injury. The Filipino, smiling for photographers, told reporters at Manila Airport his focus was not on boxing for now.
