Manny Pacquiao says that God has told him to retire from boxing in a radio interview in the Philippines. (Well, Pacquiao said it in the radio interview - God did not get on the radio and tell Manny to retire.) He's also promising a "major announcement on a religious note later this month," according to the Inquirer:
"I will not stay long in boxing because He said: ‘You have done enough. You have made yourself famous but this is harmful.' ... Pacquiao, 33, said he had the dream earlier this year but declined to reveal how many more fights he would contest before stepping down.
Kevin Iole at Yahoo! Sports talked to Top Rank promoter Bob Arum about the subject, and Arum basically said he has no idea if Pacquiao is seriously considering retirement or not.
All of this religious talk from Pacquiao this year has, whether coincidental or not, come alongside accusations of housing a fugitive and criminal tax charges filed against him in the Philippines.
But it seems like just before every Pacquiao fight, this talk of exactly how many fights he has left starts up, and it's always "not many," anywhere from two to four usually. To date, there's been no serious declarations from Manny (and I don't think this one is all that serious either, God dream or not), and he hasn't "retired" three (or however many) times the way Floyd Mayweather has done in the last few years, either. He fights pretty much the consistent schedule every year: One in the spring, one in the fall, and on to the next two.
We'll see. Pacquiao faces Timothy Bradley on June 9 in Las Vegas.
lol! manny is all over the place now, poor guy. he is likely regretting not taking that $40 mill, he is now not sure if he can get past bradley, and he is not sure if he can fight fighters that are actually in peak condition, so it's time to go bye bye, but he cant just hang em up and let down an entire nation, so he is bringin god into the mix, knowing his minions will support their gods decision. pretty smart on mannys part. stay safe and stay popular manny, we can move on without you anyways...
Pac is gonna fight into his 40s...it will be sad to see yet another ATG champ go out with a whimper like we see Evander and Roy doing now. I don't care if you're a premature ejaculation Floydiot or Pacfart, it sucks to see great fighters keep on far past it. Manny's spending is so out of this world that it seems entirely feasible to see him fighting many years after he should've hung em up.
I don't think so. I think he cashes out after the floyd fight. AT worst he'll make about $45 mil (if he leaves TR). I don't think he'll need to fight after that.

I found it ironic that manny told the world god said he wanted him to retire right after sergio martinez offered to fight floyd at 150 and floyd could have 80% of the money.
I think Manny took something out of Margo at the weigh-in , Mannys soecial weight kills other fighters , but thats the idea he wont fight them without it .
Pac cannot fight Floyd because he will be exposed as a fraud and will be beat so bad it will look like with a tests and no peds he is a bum so he will never fight Floyd it will show the hype that is Manny .
Are you mentally retard?
DO YOU FARKING KNOW WHO STALLED THE FIGHT?
I really laughed at that one. Too funny. At this point he might as well retire soon. Mayweather will never give in to the 50/50 split, so why hang around? Pac's style requires a young body.
Pacs style requires a draining CW or somebody smaller , take out his CW wins and what do you have , Diaz worst WC in history , Clottey never tried to win was paid well , Hatton was shot and new trainer didnt help , Mosley was ducked early and then shot when Manny had crampitis , JMM beat him or went real close while Floyd made JMM look like a rank amateur .
Mannys resume is created from a script written by Arum , its all hype and manipulation of conditions , he ducked Cotto without a CW what does that tell you , it tells me they dont think they can beat him without draining him .

Pac´s eyes were rolling every time Márquez landed his right, it happened so many times that it could have made its toll on pac. Jmm might be very well the author behind Pac´s retirement.
I think Margarito took something from Pac on the 6th round of their fight.

thank god the one-dimensional roider who fought nothing but weight-drained fighters is finally retiring. this is celebration time for floyd fans.
let's expect floyd to stick around a bit to make up all those long vacations. floyd da best needs to step up and give fans more fights now that pacman is out of the way.
amen.
:bigeyes:
LOL suuuure. Not it isn't God telling you to retire, it is your camp, because you are losing fights from here out. I have said it before, Pac painted himself into a corner and there are no more catchweights, washed up old, shot or recently KOed fighters to pick from. He will either lose to Bradley or get a BS decision and look crappy again, then retire. So he will not have to face JMM again, or Floyd, or Martinez, or Berto, or Ortiz, or whoever lol. They ran out of TR magic tricks so it is time to retire before the world sees the truth. Pac may be in deep against Bradley, people better stop underestimating him I am telling you.
