'Hungry' Pacquiao ready to feast

Eight-time world champion Manny Pacquiao believes his 11-month absence from boxing has left him hungrier than ever as he prepares for his farewell bout against Tim Bradley on Saturday.

The 37-year-old Filipino icon insists he will retire after the third installment of his rivalry with Bradley, vowing to focus on a political career in his homeland.

While Pacquiao has carefully kept the door open to extending his career, he said at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas on Wednesday that he views Saturday's bout as an opportunity to sign off in style.
