Retirement is near says Pacquiao....

[VERDUGO]

He doesnt need Mayweather. Pacquiao's the 2nd richest person and the most revered person in his entire country. You really think he's gonna care financial-wise if he never fights Mayweather???

It's Freddy Roach's wishes. NOT Pacquiao. And WISHES are different from NEEDS.

Pacquiao is not the second richest person in the Philippines.
He's probably not even on the Top 40.

Anyway,I agree with Roach.

If he beats Cotto, he should fight Mayweather next then he can do whatever the **** he wants.

Pacquiao was on video that Floyd and him would be a good fight.

the sport will miss him when hangs them up...great career...great fights

[fabzmm]

Mayweather will retire him.

[hugh grant]

Freddie Roach is happy for Pacquiao, but he has one wish for his star pupil before the curtains closes: defeat Mayweather.

Didn't he just say they don't need Floyd, Floyd needs them? You don't hear anywhere about Floyd wishing to fight Pacquiao.

The thing is PBF dont wish to fight anyone. He dont call Cotto out, or anyone. Its a wonder hes in the fight game? Thats why PBF has a rubbish resume of lighter fighters stepping up to fight him.

There would probably be no third Marquez fight anymore.
