Speaking to CNN Philippines, Manny Pacquiao's spokesperson Monico Puentevella revealed that the boxing icon will be running for the position of President of the Philippines in the 2022 elections.

'PacMan' currently holds the position of 'Senator of Philippines' in his country.

"Bahala na kung sinong [ibang] tatakbo (It doesn't matter who else are running) but Manny 'PacMan' Pacquiao is going to run for President…he will file his candidacy."

However, a win over Errol Spence Jr. could make Pacquiao re-think his decision to run for the presidency.

As of now, the odds do not seem to be in the 42-year-old's favor. Pacquiao is currently a +156 underdog for his upcoming fight with 'The Truth'. Meanwhile, Spence Jr. is a -225 favorite coming into this fight.
