LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - "What time?" Bradley asked.
According to the Christian Post, Pacquiao's invitation was not picked up on the microphone, but Bradley's response came in loud and clear.
The Inquirer explained Pacquiao had been holding regularly at Pacquiao's suite at Delano since he arrived in Nevada.
Though Pacquiao and Bradley engaged in an energetic fight in the ring, Pacquiao was not going to hold any aggression toward his opponent outside the fight.
"Bradley is a nice guy, he's a good man," Pacquiao said. "In fact, I invited him tomorrow to our Bible study. He said he will try.
"This is good. This is boxing. We don't need to hate each other outside of the ring. We should be friends. We entertain people. That's our job."
Pacquiao told the Toronto Sun he planned to retire from boxing and return to the Philipines, where he will run for the Philipines Senate.
"I already made a commitment to my family that after this fight I am going to go back home and spend more time with them. And I [am] going to retire and serve the people of the Philippines. That is my focus."
