Pacquiao mulling a swing at Games

Hall of Fame trainer Freddie Roach will back Manny Pacquiao if the eight-division world champion decides to take advantage of rule changes that could see professional boxers allowed to take part in this summer's Olympics.

Pacquiao said on Wednesday he is yet to decide on whether he will pursue a spot on the Philippines team, appearing to pull back from an earlier statement in which he said he would be honored to fight in Rio.

"I'm not saying a yes or a no," Pacquiao said. "I'm not closing the door. I have to think about it and I'm still thinking about it. It's good to let professionals in the Olympics."
