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

I’d watch just to see how manny’s ultra professional boxing style translates to amateur boxing

The guys who've been pro & fought amateur out of the blue again haven't done well. So I think the fast pace of the amateurs is a bad pace for established 10-12rd pro boxers.

A lot of the pros who go back n forth back to the amateurs/olympics are less established so it isn't that much of a difference for them it doesn't appear.

But yea it'd be interesting to see as big a name as Manny go back to am fights just for the entertainment value involved.

I agree but basketball and baseball Olympics have established all-stars and superstar players participating.

If Pacquiao does this, he can start a positive trend of big name boxing stars in the Olympics. Plus, imagine the big marketing for an amateur who beats a pro in the Olympics? Basically free marketing.

I think pros in the Olympics would be great for boxing. As of right now, the extra marketing we have in boxing right now comes from Youtubers and MMA fighters entering boxing.

Yea idec tbh. I'd be cool if they said ANYONE can fight in the Olympics so it'd be much more hyped than it currently is or if they went 100% amateur, which they no longer do, but I wish they'd make a decision one way or the other cuz I'm no fan of the status quo.

If they go the all amateur way I'd like to see amateur eligibility too. I'm so tired of seeing these full grown men fighting children. Like you should have ~6yrs of elite level amateur eligibility & then you either gotta go pro or retire. These mfers who are 28-32yrs old with 9-13yrs of elite level exp fighting 19-22yrs old with 0-3yrs elite level exp is so dumb & simply put unfair.

Definitely an over inflated career and resume due to his character outside the ring.

Lol. So because dude is humble he is overrated.

I heard it all now

No one cared about Pacquiao after he lost to Floyd

So, what do Floyds empty arenas symbolize

I mean. Who really cares about this except a petty Floyd boy.

I'm quite sure Manny can get recognized in any part of the world he touches down in.

Basketball players are playing against other grown men not kids

Teo'filo Stevenson won Olympic Gold (heavyweight) when he was 20, 24 and 28. He was certainly not a kid and had he become a pro he would have probably been a world champion.

The age limit for boxers at the Olympic Games was 34 years old for both men and women before it was raised to 40 years old in 2013. So, the issue was never age. If a professional boxer competes in the Olympics, he/she will have to adhere to Olympic rules.

I can't tell by how empty those arenas been lately

Even more popular in Asia and it’s not even close
No one cared about Pacquiao after he lost to Floyd it’s just the honest truth.

Manny fought a YouTube Korean and now a kickboxer.
Manny also fought GOATS like Broner, Rios, Vargas etc. The greatest cherry-picker of all time.

Like a little girl you was crying asking why Floyd gets criticized heavy, and when you got the answer, that Floyd cherrypicks 120 lb Japanese kickerboxers and yells tbe, you want to flip flop.
