Comments Thread For: Manny Pacquiao Inquires About Competing in 2024 Olympic Games

I guess Manny just can't let it go after being beat by such a pedestrian boxer like Ugas. Maybe they can start a "Legends/Senior" boxing circuit like in professional golf. And of course, four or five sanctioning bodies so we can have multiple champions.

Tell that to the basketball players.

I think boxing has a different history where professionals were not allowed to compete until 2016. But I always thought that boxing in the Olympics always meant amateurs. And, a springboard to a professional career - - if they are good enough.

He's been trying to make the Benn fight, according to Hearn atleast.

I wonder if Manny even knows who Conor Benn is.

Would be dope tbh. If he can make it happen, Good for him.

People will always complain on others' accomplishment. He wants it ,so be it!

Olympics are for amateurs, not retired professionals

like the saying goes "it's never to late to go the college".. but i think pac should sit this one out... if he wanted to do this he should have looked into it 10 years ago. i know he wants to get this win under his belt but this does nothing for him.. winning the Olympic for boxing at 44 + years old aint nothing to brag about. and then if he loses on point, that;s abother story,

Could be a star making opportunity for an amateur. Would Pacquiao even qualify though?

I fear Pac ends up fighting professionally again, I always feared he’d end up like Duran.

He's been trying to make the Benn fight, according to Hearn atleast.

Man. Duran just couldn’t retire…

sad..

The last 5-10 years of his career were painful man. The Joppy fight was horrible to watch.
