Comments Thread For: Pacquiao: I Prayed To God, I Think I'm Ready To Retire

[Zaroku]

Eight division world champion Manny Pacquiao says he is likely to retire next year after one last fight to focus on a career in politics. Previously Pacquiao had stated that he wanted to fight a few more times.

The born-again Christian, winner of an unprecedented eight world titles in as many weight divisions and at times touted as a future president of the Philippines, said he had taken career advice from God.

PAC! Great news! Bigger battles coming. Politics! Floyd can't do that kinda selfless stuff.
Just my opinion. But he doesn't need to.

Glad to hear it! God bless PAC.
Hope he can cut through political issues like he did his opponents, earlier in his career.

I had to clean up this line from the article, which was pretty misleading....

Remember people predicting Pacquiao and Floyd would wait till the very end of their careers when their past prime to fight, milking PPVs against other opponents on the way? Yep. Was Pacs last fight and PBFs second to last fight. Well played. Two past prime guys in a meaningless fight.

yep they robbed the bank

They made several times more money as well than if they fought in 2009.

The world is like that sometimes. We get a ****ty fight when theyre both past it and they make way more money.

Wouldnt say it was meaningless though, it was still the number 1 and number 2 welterweight in the world, which is always a legit match.

That is too funny lol

If it's truly his last fight, then why not beat the hell out of a guy who talked so much **** about you? Lol. Beating some prospect would be meaningless because he'd be retiring. Why not make it an interesting story.
