The 36-year-old was given a rousing welcome as he stepped out onto the stage to speak to his adoring fans.
Pacquiao is now being targeted by Bolton-based fighter Amir Khan, who is keen to go toe-to-toe with the Filipino superstar.
With neither man likely to earn 12 rounds with Mayweather before he retires, the pair could meet in the new year if Khan gets his way.
