Associated Press
MANILA, Philippines -- World welterweight champion Manny Pacquiao was admitted to a hospital to treat a mild stomach ulcer and allow him to rest after campaigning for the May 10 congressional elections.
Pacquiao's chief of staff, Jayke Joson, said Monday that doctors discovered the 31-year-old boxer had an ulcer during a routine checkup Sunday and his family convinced him to stay in a suburban Manila hospital for a few days.
"Really, Manny can only rest if you confine him to a hospital," Joson told The Associated Press, adding Pacquiao was receiving intravenous dextrose drips. "It's been so intense a campaign, he missed some of his meals."
Pacquiao's boxing promoters are working toward a possible bout with Floyd Mayweather Jr., or another fighter, as early as November.
Pacquiao's mother, Dionisia, told the AP her son was well and may be discharged from the hospital later Monday or Tuesday.
Pacquiao won a seat in the Philippine's powerful House of Representatives, which he will assume on June 30. Aside from preparing to enter the political arena, Pacquiao is yet to complete advertisements for products ranging from food to sports items, Joson said.
Promoter Bob Arum has said he'll soon start talking to Mayweather's camp about putting together the world's top two welterweights for a Nov. 13 bout in Las Vegas or Texas.
Arum said he hoped to match Pacquiao against former welterweight champion Antonio Margarito if talks with Mayweather fall through.

ah.. .you're right. totally forgot about Sergio. I did mention that i would have wanted to see that fight go down in the boxing thread. Its too bad Sergio's belt is at 160 and not 154 though.Originally Posted by Proshares
Dako, you really see PBF/Berto coming off? When this falls through, I'm almost 100% expecting PBF/Sergio at 154. I still see Berto/Shane coming off eventually since this fool Collazo is moving up to 154.

How would you guys see a PBF/Cotto fight playing out?
Pretty Boy by UD.
Yuri aint beating them either. But Cotto can beat Angulo or Manny if he ever chooses to move to 154 to win a belt and rematch Cotto (long shot but just throwing that out there)Originally Posted by GUNNA GET IT
Cotto isnt beating Sergio, Paul or Dzinziruk so just how is he resurrecting his career at this weight limit

pacquiao would've dodge that punch from the second round.sure he would have because according to you Manny Stans he's the second coming of Pernell "sweet pea" Jesus Christ.
More money in that bout than a PBF/MartinezOriginally Posted by Bigmike23
If pbf vs pacman can't happen why would cotto vs pbf happen?
