Manny Pacquiao is preparing for his 71st professional fight at MGM Grand, Las Vegas, against Keith Thurman.

40-year-old star will reportedly earn $20 m for this meeting. Pacquiao has also earned 10 m for the fight against Adrien Broner, that he won earlier in January.

Bob Arum, Top – Rank promoter, has spoken about Manny’s health at this age, as he has been concerned whether it is good for Filipino icon to enter the ring now.

“He cares about me, I understand what he’s saying, but I’m not the only one who has fought at this age. George Foreman, other boxers who fought when they’re 47 years old or 50 years old. I’m not saying that at age 47 or 50 I’m going to still be fighting. No. But it depends how you discipline yourself, how you work hard.” Pacquiao told AFP (via Boxingscene).
