Life after Pacquiao

this site will have alot more knowlegable fans..when all the pactard cultist leave..cause they follow manny..not the sport Pac bring the boxing back to the mainstream and when pac retires those fans who are just watching pac fight will also stop watching the boxing and the boxing will be back to the days where floyd was the #l lb4lb where no one cares anymore. I agree the boxing will still be here only a dumb person thinks that the sports will die.

Sport will move on... I'm pretty sure people worried what would happened when Ali left, same goes, Ray Leonard, etc. etc. Boxing will find a new hero point blank Agreed. It's dumb when people say boxing will die when Floyd and Pac retire. Hell no. Like you said, the same thing must've been said when the likes of Leonards, Robinsons, Alis, and more retired and yet, boxing is still alive. New stars are always bown.

His success has opened up doors for several other great fighters that are from the Philippines. Pacquiao has given the people of his nation a reason to hope, a reason to dream, and a reason to realize that dreams do come true. With all of the success that Manny Pacquiao has achieved, he still remains humble, and grounded. Boxing has lost fans since the 1980's and 90's. One person has brought a lot of fans back to the sport. Manny Pacquiao has given the sport a face again. Household's across America who used to associate boxing with the name of Muhammad Ali, now do the same with the name Manny Pacquiao. Perhaps not quite as much as Ali, but it's getting close. Mississippians who don't follow the sport closely, for the most part know who Manny Pacquiao is. I attended the Mississippi State Golden Gloves Tournament last weekend, and all I heard was conversations about Manny Pacquiao.
