Comments Thread For: Pacquiao: I've Made a Commitment To My Family To Retire

As much as I wanted him to be back, I think Manny will not be back unless a fight Floyd and Marquez as KaL-EL mentioned. Retired boxers return to the ring because they do not have other things to do in life but Manny is different. Manny is occupied in helping his people and his nation. yea just like froid helping his people hahahahahah just buying crack for his father

Hope he sticks with the decision. He has given boxing enough: from the fans, to its history, and to the people who made money from him. He and his family deserve certainty of his health.

Nothing left to prove. Lineal in 5 weight classes and 8 division world champion. War Pacquiao :boxing:

I would be happy if this is it. He has nothing left to prove and the sport needs to move on from him and Mayweather. Both guys can walk away still among the best in the sport and let boxing find itself without them. Agreed dude. Gratefull for being able watch these guys all through their careers but its time for the next general to show who's who.

Good riddance Pacman. It was a hell of a ride. Your KO of Ricky Hatton was your career's pinnacle, and I will see you at Canastota for your HOF speech. Now please, stay retired and serve the people as you say you will.

The end of slow motion scoring:beerchug:

i feel like i remember him saying this after the rios fight. maybe he really will retire but i doubt it

I think he will fight again

In boxing "retiring" means you're gonna take off a couple months now.

I respect that, boxing is wear and tear on the body, no need to take unnecessary risks, he has already accomplished himself as one of the greatest fighters ever, made a lot of money and became so popular in the Phillipines that now he can have a fulltime job as a poitician without even having to study or go to college, there's absolutely no reason for Pacquiao to fight on.

As much as I wanted him to be back, I think Manny will not be back unless a fight Floyd and Marquez as KaL-EL mentioned. Retired boxers return to the ring because they do not have other things to do in life but Manny is different. Manny is occupied in helping his people and his nation.

stay retired Pac unless a rematch with JMM or Floyd is possible

No need to continue fighting. Unless it's a rematch with Floyd WHEN he comes back he has no need to continue.

Contract up at the end of the year. The two-year agreement, announced by Top Rank chairman Bob Arum, extends Pacquiao's pact with the promoter through Dec. 31, 2016. The deal is also with Pacquiao's MP Promotions, which co-promotes his fights.

Manny will be back within 24 months
