This "move" has that feel like 10 years down the line someone is gonna make a movie bout Pac and they are going to point to this very point in time as "the decline of Pacquio"........very Tysonesk if you ask me.....

Why not wait until boxing is done then move to politics....hellllooooooo????

*****s are ****** or they cant read, pac can fight floyd on march, so how is he ducking? i think floyd is the chicken wanting another tune up.

oh really

WELL THIS IS WIERD CONCIDERING ROACH SAID IN A RECENT INTERVIEW MARCH WOULD BE TO EARLY FOR PAC TO FIGHT A FIGHTER LIKE FLOYD AND HE NEEDS MORE TIME TO PREPARE FOR HIM. MOST LIKELY WE WILL HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL LATE 2010 TO SEE THIS BATTLE, I THINK THEY KNOW AFTER THIS FIGHT IT WONT BE TO MUCH MORE TO LOOK FORWARD TO FOR BOXING, SORT OF LIKE A GIRL GIVING IT UP ON THE FIRST NIGHT!!! BUT I THINK MARCH WOULD BE A RUSH ALSO MAY IS PERFECT!!! BUT MANNY WANTS TO SAVE THE WORLD...

Well it's on the table. The momentum is there - the time is right. IF Pac is willing to fight and Mayweather wants to duck him to fight someone else then that's Mayweather's choice. He'll be labelled a ducker however.

Roach and Arum just don't want Manny to fight Mayweather, because if he loses then all their marketability goes down the hill.

OR Manny has been saying he was going to run in this election for about a year now. Its been known that this day was coming for a while, hardly a duck if he's doing exactly he said he was going to do a year ago.

BUT EVERYONE WILL BLAME FLOYD

Pacquiao has talked about running for office since way before any showdown with Mayweather was even a thought in anyone's mind. This isn't a duck, it's just bad timing.

Pac would be ready by March if he wanted to be, and May would be too. I think both will take another fight first, and then collide late in 2010.
