Record Return Pacquiao at 46

“Being in Hall of Fame and introducing this year a lot means to me. It’s an honor,” said Pacquiao. “I am grateful to all fans and all who supported me.

“My goal is to be the oldest master and retire as a master. This fight is very significant to me because it is its history.
