      Hope Pacquiao doesn't go for it.

        If Arum has retired at a normal age he'd be dead by now - these guys like Arum, Don King, Rupert Murdoch - what do you think it is that keeps them going ? I'll tel you - great medical care and a brew of passion/ambition/greed/desire to stay relevant

          As much as I dislike all 3, you are correct.

            It was surprising to hear that Pacquiao might come back against Benn.

            Pacman is still reasonably sharp, not bad at 44, but it's tough to beat a top ten welterweight now probably.

            Also, the whole issue around Conor Benn, that's another topic.

              Yep - they are not like-able at all - but as I'm getting up there in age I pay more attention to this chit

                The pacman who beat Thurman - I do believe that Pac would beat this Benn - but does that Pac still exist?

                  sad that floyd and manny are reduced to this.

                  at least pac is fighting boxers while floyd is figthing mma midgets who are not allowed to use mma moves.

                    I’d also prefer Pacquiao stay retired but I’m sure Arum would be singing a different tune if Pacquiao was trying to do business with him again.
