Pacquiao SHOULD NOT Return to Boxing. What Do You Think?

That's the way boxing is supposed to go. The new guy comes along and beats the old guy. Too bad Mayweather and Pacquiao ran away making sure they fought the likes of Berto and Bradley Part XXVIII before they left instead of real competition. They have both fought everyone they needed to and have nothing to prove to anyone.

Dude is a SENATOR lol, he should have better things to do. I'm sure it distracts somewhat. Also at some point unless you're a greedy son of a ***** money is not the end all be all. People CREATE their purpose, if they're smart it's not about because guess what you ain't taking **** when you die. It's like what the movie Fight Club states if you worship material things, they end up OWNING YOU. YOU work for those things putting time and money to upkeep and for WHAT?!! NOTHING because material things can't be taken with us, and it's only our CREATIVE works that influence and make a difference to the world at some point. Obviously he's past that point as a multi millionaire Well, I don't base my moral compass on Fight Club but it seems that your philosophical rant started about him being a senator to make a difference, then ended up on material possessions. In the middle you neglected to realize that money is the most empowering tool when it comes to making a difference. I've seen it first hand as someone who has done a lot of work for charities throughout my life. If you've seen pics of Pac's home and cars, it should be obvious that all his millions are not all going into material possessions. Anyhow, back to subject, my point is that if you have an entire litter of kids and a lot of charitable interests, it's hard to turn down such an incredible opportunity for income, especially when you worked so hard to get there and the window is able to close forever.

Agree but I think it's not their fault other guys just aren't that good to take their crowns or are impressive enough that fans demand these fights. I know guys are protected and all, but the overall quality coming from the amateurs has seriously declined so there are less people fighting and less talent coming through the ranks so these guys can keep getting checks despite declining. Mayweather doesn't even have to be at the top of his game to beat guys and he's damn near 40. Pac stopped being a killer yet is still being competitive when he's clearly lost a lot and is strictly in it for a fat check as well. I think it speaks to the lack of depth of talent more than guys being pampered and protected. With guys like Brook, Thurman, Crawford, and Garcia around there was no excuse to be fighting Bradley for the third time and Berto ever. While the talent may not be good as it once was, fighting guys like Rios, Algeiri, and Maidana twice isn't exactly a showcase of the best of this generation.

the reality is that if you can make several million for a couple months work, how do you say no? Aside from obvious exceptions, he's usually not talking a lot of damage so I can't condemn him if he decides to return. Dude is a SENATOR lol, he should have better things to do.

As much as I want to say "no" because of how it potentially affects his boxing legacy, the reality is that if you can make several million for a couple months work, how do you say no?

Nope. Let him rule the Philippines with an iron fist. He has nothing left to prove, one of the greatest to ever do it :boxing::grouphug:

He still has a bit of some left in him. I'd say he could probably fight 3-4 times more, he was impressive in the III Bout with Bradley

Actually, I don't think Pacquaio ever HAS returned to boxing. He should have stayed dedicated to the sport. For a long time he's been a congressman/singer/Jesus freak/basketball player/boxer.
