Manny Pacquiao underwent a physical examination and an MRI in the Philippines this past weekend and the results are looking promising.
MANILA, Philippines – Manny Pacquiao underwent MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) on his right shoulder last night and headed straight to a basketball game after the procedure that lasted less than an hour.
According to a Team Pacquiao insider, the eight-division world champion went to the Cardinal Santos Medical Center in San Juan a little past 7 p.m. for the MRI.
It was a success, according to the boxer himself.
“Thank you to all the doctors. Very good progress. Successful MRI on my shoulder,” said Pacquiao in an Instagram post after the procedure.
He was out of the hospital in an hour.
Bob Arum is very encouraged by the latest Pacquiao news and he’s already talking about Manny returning to the ring.
“We were planning for Manny Pacquiao to fight at the end of February, or at the latest, the first two weeks in April,” Arum told Gareth Davie of The Telegraph.
“March is out of the question because of a big college basketball tournament in the United States. That gets all the ink at the time,” said Arum.
Looks like the Pac-Man still has a few fights left in him and with Mayweather gone the division is his for the taking.
