BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. -- Manny Pacquiao is determined to fight on, even without Floyd Mayweather across the ring or HBO in his corner.Five months after the fight Pacquiao expected to be his finale, the Filipino senator stood opposite unheralded welterweight champion Jessie Vargas on Thursday and declared his excitement for yet another chapter in whats now a sprawling pugilistic story with a murky ending.Pacquiao is a politician and a father with multiple reasons to walk away, but trainer Freddie Roach believes that Pacquiaos skills havent sharply declined. Even after repeatedly claiming he would retire into his political career following his win over Timothy Bradley in April, Pacquiao cant deny that fighting is irresistible, both for the competitive rush and the fat paychecks.Its a big challenge for me to prove I can still manage serving the people and being a boxer, Pacquiao said. I want to give back to the fans who supported me for all these years.Pacquiao showed up to a packed news conference at the Beverly Hills Hotel, where he has launched all of his recent fights, with a businesslike haircut and a suit befitting a major public figure. He used his time on the podium to diplomatically encourage fans to buy thousands of $50 seats for Nov. 5 at Las Vegas Thomas and Mack Center, where he will go after the 27-year-old Vargas WBO welterweight title.Its an honor for me to challenge the champion, Pacquiao said. I respect him because hes the belt-holder at 147 pounds.Pacquiao held the same belt twice for long stretches, but lost it in his landmark showdown with Mayweather last year. Mayweather appears comfortable and financially healthy in retirement, while Pacquiao openly acknowledges he needs the money hell make fighting Vargas.To Roach, its fairly simple work -- at least simpler than fighting dangerous rising star Terence Crawford, the other finalist for the big-money shot at Pacquiao.(Vargas) is a good boxer, Roach said. I dont think hes in Mannys league, but well see.Roach must move to Manila for six weeks to train Pacquiao in the breaks between his senatorial duties. Trainers with a fraction of Roachs success might balk at the strange working conditions, but Roachs 15-year bond with Pacquiao remains unbreakable by any of the weirdness in Pacquiaos unique life.Im not exactly sure how much time Im going to have with him, so Im glad its Vargas instead of Crawford at this point, Roach said. Well fight Crawford down the line later, Im sure, but I want to see exactly how this works. The Senate is more time-consuming, they tell me.Roach doesnt expect this bout to be Pacquiaos last, either.Manny still has a good future in boxing, I think, Roach said. And I really want him to fight Mayweather one more time, just to shut him up. I know we can fight a better fight. I know Manny can beat him.Top Rank promoter Bob Arum never claimed Pacquiaos victory over Bradley would be his final fight. After a half-century in promotion, Arum knows a boxers vows are only as strong as their wills.Arums biggest project for this bout is putting on the pay-per-view broadcast himself. HBO declined to show the fight, so Top Rank is producing its own telecast.Its a historic day, because were going to take back boxing for the fighters, for the promoters, Arum said. I really believe this will lead to us forming our own boxing network.Pacquiao has fought 21 times in HBO pay-per-view bouts since 2003, but the network balked at Top Ranks desire to stage the fight three days before the U.S. presidential election and two weeks before Andre Ward faces Sergey Kovalev on HBO pay-per-view.Pacquiao wants to fight on Nov. 5 because it fits his schedule in the Senate, allowing him to keep his promise to closely attend to his government duties in his new job.Vargas watched the Beverly Hills spectacle with a bemused detachment. The matchup is an extraordinary opportunity with little downside for the Mexican-American champion, but he wont be content just to bank his fee for playing a bit part in Pacquiaos saga.He hasnt ever fought a fighter like me, Vargas said. He doesnt know what hes got himself into. Its going to be a coming-out party for me, and Im looking forward to it. Air Max 90 Australia .

Named to be a superstar, the nine-year-old has suffered repeated injury problems in recent years, twice fracturing his pelvis, but has been brilliantly nursed back to full health by his popular trainer.The Gigginstown House Stud-owned gelding arrived on Merseyside a maiden over fences after 13 starts, but broke his duck in the grandest manner in the hands of teenage riding sensation David Mullins Morris said on Sunday morning: It hasnt sunk in properly yet.The horse is in great form. You wouldnt believe it but you could run him again today. Its unbelievable.It has been a testing 12 months for the County Tipperary handler following the tragic death of his son, Christopher, last summer.Morris was reduced to tears and lost for words in the immediate aftermath of Saturdays momentous triumph and admits he could not believe what he was seeing.Watching the race I thought we were going to be third and I was going to be very happy with that. It would have been a fantastic run, he said.From where I was watching it, I didnt really believe it until he passed the winning post.Hes a horse I always thought an awful lot of until he had his injuries. Hes a typical National horse - hes a big horse that jumps well and has a bit of class.The funny thing is hes actually a good ground horse. Because of his injuries, his rear end isnt as strong as it should be muscle-wiise and I think the better the ground the better he is.ddddddddddddAs for future plans, Morris said: Id say its very unlikely hell run again this year, anyway.

If I had my way Id like to retire him, but I think in this case well let Mouse decide what he wants to do and I know Mouse will make the right decision by the horse.If he wants to train him on next year, then well train on. If not, well retire him and mind him and look after him for the rest of his life in Gigginstown. Also See: Live results service Full racecards Get Sky Sports ' ' '
