Some people say that the battle between Margarito and Manny will be the last fight of Pacquaio because he is going to retire from boxing and focus on his political career. Do you think there will be the next Manny Pacquaio who can represent the Philippines if Manny retired?

There will be no Next Manny Pacquiao. Just like in any sport, there will be no next Michael Jordan, or Tiger Woods, or Babe Ruth. Each athlete has his own name and identity, and to follow on one's shadow will only put a big burden on one's shoulder to deliver the expectations brought about by the reputation of being the next. Let them be who they are and carve their own names in their sport. There has always been someone representing the country in the sport of boxing, although none as bright as Pacman has, or ever will be. We still have a pool of good boxers waiting to get their chance at glory, let's just wait and see who will emerge as the frontbearer.

Nonito Donaire is a P4P candidate and considered to be the slickest Filipino fighter aside from Pacman. The problem is his promotion. Arum is doubtful of making a big investment on Donaire because simply he is very different than Pacquiao in character and appeal to the public. Donaire is more vocal, eloquent and with his wife's as his business partner does not ring the bell to Arum. Donaire is a likely heir apparent to Pacquiao only if Arum gives him the opportunities he afforded Pacquiao.
