Manny Pacquiao vs Floyd Mayweather: Pacman Says He Is Retiring... From Singing

In a certain twist of events, Filipino boxing champ Manny Pacquiao announced that he is retiring; not from boxing but from singing.

In an exclusive report by TMZ, Pacquiao said that his singing career is now over. "I love music, but I don't think music loves me."

The report added that the Filipino boxer, who is in the U.S. to promote his documentary and judge the Miss Universe pageant, revealed the "heartbreaking" news despite the success of his two albums in the Philippines.

"I stopped singing. I like singing. I love music ... but I don't think music loves me," he added.

Pacquiao, however, said that he is still very much happy with what he has accomplished in his musical career. "My first album was platinum in the Philippines, so that's good enough."

Pacman indeed love to sing that he even made a cover of "Sometimes When We Touch" and tried singing "Let It Go" from the hit-animated movie "Frozen."

Singer Dan Hill even commended the boxer for singing his song. "I saw Manny and heard Manny sing it on [Jimmy Kimmel Live] and I really loved the way he sang it. I was immediately drawn to the honesty and the gentleness of his performance. It was like, 'whoa,'" Hill told Telegraph.

With his singing career set aside, Pacquiao seems to be so ready for his possible fight with undefeated American fighter Floyd Mayweather Jr.

Hollywood Reporter said that Pacquiao is already preparing for the megafight which is set to happen in May.

"I been waiting for the last four years. There's no reason that he will not fight. He has to sign the contract and the fight will be on," Pacquiao explained.

Former boxing champ Sugar Ray Leonard even expressed his excitement for the megafight. "My understanding is it will take place this year. I'm hearing May. It's going to be a fight that breaks all records, numbers galore. It's going to be such a highly anticipated fight that it's going to be crazy. I want to see it come to fruition," he was quoted as saying by Hollywood Reporter.

But before thinking about the fight again, Manny released his documentary on Tuesday and met with the team behind its success including directors Ryan Moore and Leon Gast and narrator Liam Neeson. The documentary is all about Pacquiao's journey in the Philippines, from his trying times as a child to his ascend to the professional boxing industry.

"I want to let them know that before I became like this I experienced a very hard life," he told Hollywood Reporter.

This is one of the values that Leonard looks up to in Pacquiao aside from his devotion to help his country and fellowmen.

"He's such a philanthropist. He gives and he really cares for people. As much as he gives in the ring, he gives outside the ring to people who are not as fortunate," Leonard added.
