Filipino boxing icon Manny Pacquiao is now recovering from the shoulder operation that lasted for two hours at Kerlan Jose Orthopedic Clinic in Los Angeles, California.

Pacquiao underwent the operation for his torn right rotator cuff injury, one of the major reasons cited for his loss to Floyd Mayweather Jr.

The operation was performed by famous sports surgeon Dr. Neal ElAttrache, the same doctor who operated on NBA superstar Kobe Bryant and other top athletes in the United States.

The recovery period for the shoulder operation is expected to last up to six months, depending on the rehabilitation process.

Pacquiao is set to come home to the Philippines on Sunday if his doctor will permit him to travel. – BusinessNewsAsia.com
