Manny Pacquiao's post-retirement plans could include purchasing an NBA franchise.
In a recent interview with TMZ Sports, the 40-year-old boxer and longtime basketball fan was asked if he's given any thought to becoming part-owner of an NBA team one day.
"I'm thinking about that," Pacquiao said with a smile.
Pacquiao already owns and runs a semi-professional basketball league in his native country of the Philippines called the Maharlika Pilipinas Basketball League, which he launched in 2017. He also played the sport professionally in the Philippine Basketball Association.
