Manny Pacquiao is trending today after the news of his comeback to the ring came out.

The world renowned 8 division world champion announced last April his retirement before his third fight with Timothy Bradley, Jr.

Pacquiao plans to return to the ring to fight again on either October 29 or November 5 in the main event of an HBO PPV card in Las Vegas, Top Rank promoter Bob Arum told ESPN.com on Tuesday.
