Why is Manny Pacquiao in such a rush to get out of the sport of boxing?

[GT-R]

Wow, i just don't get a lot of these responses from so called Pacquiao fans. He's improved greatly over the last few years & has made his way to the top of the sport & just as he enters his prime they want him to just walk away, i don't get it.

Hes on top, retire while ur in it.

[Buckfever]

I think it is purely his interest in politics. He had stated previously when he had run and lost, that if elected his boxing career would be cut short.

These same Pac fans clowned Floyd for retiring in his prime and now Pac gets a pass from them because he had over 50 fights. Get the **** outta here.

When Floyd retired he allegedly ducked every fighter known to man.

Im sure you do realized Flyod has no reason to retire back then other than to duck Cotto, Margarito, younger Mosley, Williams and with only 39 fights in his carrier. Pac on other hand had his plan to serve the people, he lost last election, and this time he won, with over 50 fights in his carrier, 7 title in different divisions, P4P#1, what is there to prove? BTW, he was about to fight Flyod, until Flyod requested his own testing which ends up killing the fight!!!

Lol the magic answer is 4.
That is the most Pacquiao has ever defended a title.
Now guess what title?
and what weight class?

Great more irrelevent information.


Whats next Horus? Do you know how many times Pac has brushed his teeth? Do you know how many times pac has ate pizza?


*** Horus get to the point you are trying to get to and stop playing 20 ***ing questions.

Im sure ive heard manny say in an interview or on tv that his mum was on her knees begging him to quit boxing, I think it was after the cotto fight, the first and only fight she has seen. Manny said he doesnt like seeing his mother like that

Now before i get hit with red k & called a hater and so forth, it's an honest question. Pacquiao is still young and probably at the top of his game at this point and could easily fight at 147 or even go down to 140 and clear out the division, so why the politics & the talks of retirement?

He has been interested in Politics for the longest and has ran before in the past. You act like he just rolled outta bed a few weeks ago and decided to be a congressman. He says it won't affect his boxing career, and I believe him. He was filming a movie, had training camp during a natural disaster, doing concerts etc...and still destroyed Cotto. I doubt this political stuff has an effect on his career.

to speak the truth, the testing was already part of the deal, until Pacquiao changed his mind, he needed almost a month cutoff(which would be most of the training camp), Mayweather compromised with 14 days, Pac refused.

Pacquiao says a lot of things.

floyd retired when the division was hot

then came back when alot of them lost to each other, and fought someone much lighter, and out of the division.

but this doesnt get mentioned cuz hes floyd and can do no wrong.

The guy has a lot of fights from a very young age, His mum wants him out and there is also his interest in politics..I think thats all good enough reason. And i would never question his reasons to be honest.
