LAS VEGAS — He had stuck well to the script all night.
He was retiring to spend more time with his family and to spend more time helping the people of his native Philippines, Manny Pacquiao insisted when he was repeatedly questioned about his plans after a unanimous-decision win over Timothy Bradley Jr. here on Saturday night. Then came a feint from press row.
It seems as if your family wants you to retire more than you do, one reporter said. Pacquiao laughed, sank into the table and looked around.
“You’re good,” he said to the reporter, joking.
