Manny Pacquiao has brought his wife to tears once again.

The couple famously cried together during an interview after Pacquiao lost to Juan Manuel Marquez in 2012. This time, his wife is crying alone.

An eight months pregnant Jinkee Pacquiao cried on-air while talking to Filipino radio personalities on April 14. She stated that although she will stand by her husband, boxing is taking a toll on him.

"Of course I support him," Mrs. Pacquiao told WZBB. "But boxing is hard; he is not getting any younger."

35-year old Manny beat Timothy Bradley Jr. in a rematch last weekend, reclaiming the WBO Welterweight Title.

The boxer recently stated that defeating Bradley was proof that he still has what it takes to win, and he has no plans to retire.

"Many people were saying it's over, he's too busy in congress, and doesn't have time for boxing," Pacquiao told USA Today. "But I still proved it's not over and [the fight] was the evidence."

Mrs. Pacquiao, however, says her husband has nothing left to prove.

"He should prove nothing," she said in the radio interview. "He did his best. He can retire anytime."

Pacquiao earned $20 million from the Bradley fight, and will receive more money from Pay-per-view revenues. He is also a Filipino congressman, and plans to run in the 2016 Senate election.

Pac-Man also plans to face his archnemesis, Floyd Mayweather, one more time.

"I think about that but I don't know if that fight will happen," he told USA Today. "If you ask me, 100% I want that fight. It depends on them."

Before any career decisions are made, however, Mrs. Pacquiao wants to spend some time with her husband.

"Maybe we first vacation," she said. "He'll be with the children."
