Hey Pac: You better not retire!!

sup ray... I aint begging him... Im just putting my 2 cents here... if pac choose to retire now... I beleive is gonna hurt his legacy... sameway that happened to floyd when he retired and was dissed and bashed for not taking risky fights...... Pac has taken risky fights his whole career... but you are as good as your last fight.. and if your last fight is a field day with clottey.. and retire instead of comming to terms with another great fighter like you to fight..... maybe is not gonna hurt him that much, but it will have an impact.... thats for sure. some ppl may going to start saying that the reason he retired was that he prefer to retire instead of taking the blood test which will increase the ped's accusations. is not big deal... but I would love to see the BEST TWO FIGHTERS of the last decade fight each other.!!! :boxing: I totally understand you Mellow, I dont want him to retire too because i prefer all our best fighters to be around and give their all but when his mum has been pleading with him to retire for over 2 years now. I would love to see him fight Mosley and Mayweather but the fact that his mum knee down begging him to retire is alot to me. It might look like he want to duck fighter or testing but i just think he might have come down to a point where he feels he has to go out on top. But if he does retire he would be replaced by someone else.

Why are people begging him not to retire? Boxing is bigger than any fighter and if he leaves he would be replaced just like Mayweather was replaced when he left...no big deal. sup ray...

If I lived in the Philippines, I wouldn't vote for him. I would start a petition, don't vote for him for another 2 years minimum. He should have another 3 or 4 fights at least. Though, if he fights and beats Mayweather/Mosley winner, then he has cleaned out WW, maybe fight Berto, though he really has not done much to deserve it, only other fights would be move down to 140 and beat Bradley,Alexander, and whatever other junior welter's emerge to the top of the division or move to 154 and fight Williams and possibly a couple others. Pac lost the last time he ran for the Phillipine legislature and there is a good chance he won't win this election either. People on this site think that Pacquaio is the most popular and well-known person in the Phillipines and his election is a shoo-in. I am sure that he is no more popular or recognizable than a major sports star in the U.S. Vitaly Klitschko had name recognition and still lost an election.

ironic... u keep saying that u dont care but u havent missed a single thread about pac retiring :) Eh, so many posters in this forum pretend to be grown ass men. -- I knew Pac was going to contemplate retirement as soon as he considered election. Why are some people acting like this is new to them? He said the same thing in 2007.

Retire Pac. Run away and stay away. No one cares. ironic... u keep saying that u dont care but u havent missed a single thread about pac retiring :)

Manny just made more than 10 millions fighting Clottey who is a no name. His numbers is similar to Hatton PPV buy, but he actually got a far bigger share along with money from Cowboys stadium. Judging from that how can you say pacquaio can't fight anybody and make 10 million. How do you know what the PPV numbers were? Did HBO release them? Did I miss the story on that or are you basing your comments on what Bob Arum said? Bob Arum has no credibility and is known to lie on a regular basis. So please tell me where you got the information from that said Pac/Clottey's numbers were similar to Hatton's?

wtf r u all worried about pac will retire if he WINS the election w/c i dont see happening i can bet all my e-points pac will lose the election

The problem with this nonsensical logic is that Pacquiao would miss out on the biggest payday of his career also, so he would be shooting himself in the foot. Mayweather can fight anyone and make $10 million minimum. Manny can't! By the way, this is a little off subject, but has anyone other than me noticed that it has been 10 days since the Pac/Clottey fight and HBO still has not released the PPV numbers. That tells me that the PPV was a real bomb, in spite of what Aurm claims. Manny just made more than 10 millions fighting Clottey who is a no name.

I hope he does so Floyd cant have the Biggest payday of his career. EVER! At this point I don't want Floyd to make any money off of Pacquiao's name. He had his shot, but by him and his squad disrespecting Manny's home country and throwing the Philippines under the bus....I hope Arum, and Team Pac tell him to go fukk himself.

I hope he does so Floyd cant have the Biggest payday of his career. EVER! do you realize that, floyd also represent packy's career BIGGEST PAYDAY 2... lol thats what saying!! i understand what he's trying to do and it's never coz of the accusations. its for his country and i respect that, but he needs to stay in the ring. I agree with the bold... and respect your oppinion on the other aspect

would be bad for boxing if he retires without fighting mayweather.

^^ if you say so... all im saying is like rocky!!! one more packy!! one more round!!! :boxing: lol thats what saying!! i understand what he's trying to do and it's never coz of the accusations. its for his country and i respect that, but he needs to stay in the ring.

Fu*k That...I wanna See this fight!

I hope he does so Floyd cant have the Biggest payday of his career. EVER!

^^ if you say so... all im saying is like rocky!!! one more packy!! one more round!!! :boxing:

U know what Im talking about!! Please dont let the especulations finish your career like that. I dont think Pacquiao is on PEDs, but I cant put my hand on the fire for him or his team. u know what im saying! Like ROCKY: one more, packy.... one more round :boxing: it's not the speculations, never that. he has bigger, better plans for his country and i cant blame him puttin his hand out there. i've been through the poverty in this country, i respect what paquiao is doing and if it means to retire, then so be it. what he doesnt realize is that he makes his people happier when he's out there representing what other filipinos cant. but yeah, i think he loses the election anyway.

If Pacman retires then I can understand the contract he has with Arum. can you elaborate please??
