MANILA, Philippines – Manny Pacquiao’s top adviser is joining the rest of his team in seriously considering retirement for the Filipino icon in the wake of his latest loss to Australian Jeff Horn. Michael Koncz, who has been helping Pacquiao run his boxing affairs for years, said the last thing they want to see is the Filipino getting seriously injured in the ring. Koncz said the next course of action is to sit down with Pacquiao and talk about the future—including retirement. “What's important to me is not money, but that he doesn't get hurt in the ring and he's very close to getting (hurt against Horn),” he added. Pacquiao himself said he will consider hanging up his gloves, even though there is still the prospect of a rematch with Horn.
