Was Pacquiao forced to return to the ring?

i agree, i know pac is getting old and past his prime but still, if you come back go big or go home. Fight a top dog or stay retired This right here! ^^^^^^^

His Senate seat can't put as many groceries on the table in 36 mins. Jhonny & I would pay big ¥ for that lil bud! Jhonny has vacuum lungs...

Maybe just like Duran he truly loves this sport? Maybe, I don't doubt that manny loves the sport, just that he is an idiot with money and will end up like duran, roy jones, tyson, toney and countless others and keep fighting for way too long

Yes,, it's called being broke,,, the dude is an idiot with an education level of maybe a 4th grader.. Manny is a great fighter but complete idiot, especially when it comes to money... The guy is an idiot, plain and simple... Will be like duran and fighting til he is 50 Anyone that disagrees, show me an example of manny being a shrewd business man Maybe just like Duran he truly loves this sport?

Hes doing it for money

I don't mind him coming back. He's one of the most entertaining boxers of our generation. But don't come back to fight Vargas. I'm tired of these experienced guys like Pac and Cotto trying to take the easy road. They won't get my support. :purity: i agree, i know pac is getting old and past his prime but still, if you come back go big or go home. Fight a top dog or stay retired

I think after pac looked really good ahainst Bradley and the fact he still likes to fight (although not the hunger or killer he once was) brought him back

He's an idiot who have a hard time saying no to a cunning snake like Arum. True,,, but manny has to be the biggest idiot in all of sports,, keeps resigning with arum, even though Oscar, floyd and Cotto all laid the blueprint on how to break away from arum,,, especially cotto,, he broke away but still on good terms with arum and has done business with him since leaving, yet there is manny, still signing contracts with arum

Show me the link that he actually retired. I never saw that

Can't blame Arum. He's probably going bankrupt. And he's left with fighters that are far from becoming PPV stars. But why is he making Pac/Vargas instead of Pac/Crawford? Seems he doesn't have any confidence in Crawford beating Pac.

He's still a top 5 WW. Make that money while he still can.

He never retired. Bob won't let him just yet.

I dont understand he retired just 4 months ago..got a Congress or Senate job(dont remember which now.lol) but Bob nor Roach never even acted like he was actually retired...Strange Arum's slimey a$$ is trying to cash him out by getting another guy in his stable to beat the mighty manny pacquiao. It's sick. On the flip side, I don't understand why pac just says no and stays retired.

Bob has the full video to this http://i68.tinypic.com/14keej4.jpg

Stupid thread by a stupid poster. Please explain sir

Stupid thread by a stupid poster.

It has been said behind the scenes Arum hoped Pac would stay retired. He has a high guarantee, but his only fight since losing to Mayweather only did something like 250,000 PPV buys. Top Rank lost a ton of money on that third Bradley fight. Pac is insisting on finishing out his contract. How many fights he has left I don't know. They mutually agreed on his guarantee being reduced but still, you gotta figure he'll command at least $10 million a fight. If he ends up matched up against Vargas Top Rank will be taking another bath. Even a Crawford fight loses money. I think they are hoping a second Mayweather fight comes to fruition, if it does they'll make up what they are lost on his last fight against Bradley and the upcoming Vargas fight.
