All of this came after Pacquiao’s appearance this afternoon on Pardon the Interruption on ESPN. He was in the studio and was interviewed by Tony Kornheiser, and via satellite, Dan Le Batard. He was asked everything ranging from his potential retirement and exit from the sport, to fighting Floyd Mayweather and his new haircut. It was funny timing for Michael Wilbon to not be on the PTI Show, since he’s a noted Pacquiao fan, and basher of Mayweather.
