Pacquiao to come to Dubai for Philippine Cup

Champion boxer Manny Pacquiao will come to Dubai for the first time to take part in the annual Philippine Cup. The Pacman will abandon his boxing gloves to coach and play for his team in the Philippine Basketball Association (PBA), the Mahindra Enforcers. PBA teams Alaska Aces and Barangay Ginebra will also be in town for the event, which will take place at the Al Wasl Sports Club on November 6 and 7. The Filipino recently announced his intention to retire after one last fight, in order to focus on his political career.
