Manny Pacquiao says he's thinking about fighting for his country in the Olympics this summer if the boxing competition is open to professional fighters. ''The idea you'll allow professionals into the Olympics at this short notice is absolutely insane,'' promoter Bob Arum said. The head of the International Boxing Association (AIBA) has proposed allowing pros in the Olympics, though it's doubtful the plan would be implemented by Rio because qualification tournaments are either under way or have already been held for boxers in most countries.
