Manny Pacquiao<\/a>\u2019s return to boxing is going beyond him stepping inside the squared circle.<\/p>\n

The Class of 2025 International Boxing Hall of Famer and eight-division champion has launched his own promotional company, Manny Pacquiao Promotions, in the U.S., he announced in a news release.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is an honor to bring Manny Pacquiao Promotions to the U.S.,\u201d Pacquiao said in the release. \u201cSome of my most unforgettable moments happened inside American rings. Now, I want to help create those same moments for today\u2019s fighters.<\/p>\n

“Through talent-stacked events and an elite platform, we\u2019ll showcase the rising stars and seasoned warriors ready to capture the world\u2019s attention.\u201d<\/p>\n

Pacquiao\u2019s longtime advisor Sean Gibbons will serve as the President of MPP, which launched in August. <\/p>\n

\u201cMPP is committed to becoming the world\u2019s leading boxing promotional company,\u201d Gibbons said. \u201cWe\u2019re creating a new standard in fight promotion \u2014 and it all starts now.\u201d<\/p>\n

Tony Cohen will be the company\u2019s Chief Financial Officer and Vice President, while Brendan Gibbons has been tabbed as the lead matchmaker. Among Cohen\u2019s tasks is developing an independent pay-per-view platform, per the press release.<\/p>\n

The press release added that MPP has two title bouts and another significant fight scheduled for November, while other fight cards will also be announced in the coming weeks.<\/p>\n

Pacquiao (62-8-3, 39 KOs) returned to the ring after a four-year layoff on July 19 and, at 46, nearly became the second-oldest champion in boxing history, as he fought to a majority draw against WBC welterweight champion Mario Barrios<\/a> (29-2-2, 18 KOs).<\/p>\n

He has said that he plans to fight again, although no specific date or opponent has been announced.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Manny Pacquiao\u2019s return to boxing is going beyond him stepping inside the squared circle.
