Manny Pacquiao is already a member of Congress in his home country of the Philippines, but according to his promoter, Bob Arum, he has a much higher office in his sights once he retires from boxing.
Promoter says Manny Pacquiao will run for president of the Philippines
“Forget [singing], he’s going to be a President!”

Bill Hanstock is a writer, author and Emmy Award-winning producer. He began writing for SB Nation in 2011.
According to Arum, the loose plan is for Pacquiao to run for Senate in 2016 and make a run at the presidency in 2022 or later. Exciting stuff. As you know, the most noteworthy hand-to-hand fighter WE’VE ever had as president was a lanky wrestler named Abe.
