Manny Pacquiao back home in Philippines to start recovery from surgery
The 36-year-old was greeted by a large crowd in Manila as he finally
made it home more than a week after losing to Floyd Mayweather in the
"Fight of the Century" in Las Vegas.
Pacquiao injured his shoulder before that fight and his return was delayed by surgery that will rule him out from fighting for at least nine months.
And it is his recovery that Pacquiao is determined to concentrate on, despite a series of questions about his next fight and a possible rematch with Mayweather, who has since dubbed him as a 'sore loser.'
"For now I don't talk about it, about my next fight," Pacquiao said. "My focus is to recover and be OK. The doctor said I will recover 100 per cent."
