    why did Calzaghe just jump in head

      pac will fight once more.

      either mosley if he wins , mayweather or margarito/marquez if he can't get the 1st 2.
      Losing to Clottey and then retiring would be a pretty sad end to a great career.

      He should at least take one easy, surefire win fight after that, maybe Mayweather.

        actually PAC had already extended on his schedule for retirement, from the beginning they have established his retirement at age 30 ...

        only thing that may extend his retirement is a fight with Floyd or he losses BIG on this coming election ...

          PACQUIAO IS EITHER DUCKING THE TEST OR DUCKING MAYWEATHER.

            Floyd would last the longest........why?-----> he takes no punishment.....defense and skill ensures longevity..........

              not really ...

              its well documented that from the start Team PAC have planned for Manny's retirement at age 30, that plan is already overdue for a few reason, one of them is back then they did not see Manny will be this big and the possibility of the Biggest Fight of the decade or century with Floyd, but the plan for retirement can not wait forever as pressure from his family are their for Manny to stop fighting, call of politics plus PAC has also achieve unforeseen financial success that it is mind boggling, he is the only Filipino Billionaire Athlete, for a simple guy like manny their is a point that you cannot count those zeroes anymore and just call it a day...

              I for one want to see PAC-PBF to happen, but if Floyd makes it harder to be done than it already is, I doubt it will ever happen...

              it takes two to tango, both guys have to agree on ...

              50/50 split is a must, all points have been previously agreed, that leaves only one hurdle "the 10 day" difference for the drug test cut-off which I could see easily be worked-out

              end rant/

                That was then......what if Floyd beats Shane convincingly and they do 1.5mil PPV buys to Pac v Clottey 700K or 800K....Floyd's ego and business acumen will not allow for a 50/50 split as was the case in Jan.

                    Providing both Floyd and Pacman get through their respective fights, there is no way that the mega fight will not happen because the problem that had come up in the negotiations originally will be ironed out. Also the small matter of the biggest pay day in boxing history.
