Among the topics discussed by eight-division king Manny Pacquiao with President Barack Obama during their 20-minute White House meeting on Tuesday was basketball, politics and, of course, the fighter's May 7, Showtime-televised, WBO welterweight (147 pounds) championship defense against three-time, five-division titlist Shane Mosley, according to Pacquiao's adviser, Michael Koncz.
"I was very honored that the president took time away from his busy schedule," said the 32-year-old Pacquiao (52-3-2, 38 knockouts), who will pursue his 14th straight victory and his ninth knockout during that run against the 39-year-old Mosley (46-6-1, 39 KOs) at the MGM Grand Hotel in Las Vegas.
