?Fighter of the Decade? Manny Pacquiao returns home on Saturday with his adviser Michael Koncz for a few days before returning to Los Angeles.
In a brief interview with the Manila Standard, Koncz said ?we are coming back tonight (Thursday in Los Angeles), Manny and I.?
They are returning on the Philippine Airlines flight.
Koncz said Pacquiao will ?take a vacation, spending time with his wife and his kids in Los Angeles.?
He said ?we have no definite plans for his next fight and after a vacation we will sit down and decide what we are going to do next in the boxing.?
Despite reports that no decision has been made regarding a November bout, the Manila Standard has been reliably informed that Pacquiao?s choice is a fourth fight against Juan Manuel Marquez, possibly even in Mexico where Pacquiao is immensely popular, instead of a rematch with Timothy ?Desert Storm? Bradley who took the Filipino?s WBO welterweight title in a decision that has been condemned around the world.
The hugely controversial decision has spawned a review by the WBO as well as a request by Top Rank promoter Bob Arum to the Nevada State Attorney General to conduct an investigation into the circumstances surrounding the decision.
