Comments Thread For: Arum Expects Pacquiao To Fight at Least Six More Times

[IronDanHamza]

I imagine by the end of 2011, If Pacqiao hasn't fought Floyd, he will retire.

If he does fight Floyd, win or lose he will probably retire, at most have one fight which he wins before he retires.

I wouldn't be surprised with a Cotto rematch.. especially if Cotto beats Margarito. No way Tony gets another shot at Manny though...

It's either Bradley/Alexander/Khan, Floyd, Martinez.. wouldn't be too thrilled with Marquez (age, can't carry the weight well above 135) or Berto (not proven, dude needs to fight somebody worth anything at WW.. Clottey/Marg/Cotto. He had trouble with Collazo )..

Agreed. Bradley would be a great fight if he beats Alexander & Khan. But i'm not sure if Arum will make it - Bradley not being a big name yet

The Khan fight won't ever happen (Roach)

But yeah - Floyd, Martinez or the unified 140 champ. Or just retire with a safe legacy, money and don't take any more punishment. I want to see the guy go out when he's on top, not like RJJ/Holyfield

Boxing is dead after 2013. Floyd keep his 0 and his legacy remains 0.

Pacwh*res are hilarious. When Martinez' name comes up, Pac is too small, even though Martinez said he'll fight Pac at 154, where Pac is the WBC titlist. When JMM's name comes up, Pac is too big, even though JMM said he would fight him at 147, where Pac is WBO titlist. Which one is it?

Good for the sport if true.

Agreed on all points..

Hope it's true. This is why I love Pac, he's a prime fighter, best out there, active, wants to challenge himself, and wants to keep fighting.

I'm not thinking as highly of Khan and Haye, others whom are talking of getting out quick.

If you love boxing and are still close to prime, then why quit?

Top Rank's CEO Bob Arum expects WBO welterweight champion Manny Pacquiao to continue boxing until at least 2013. When he recently met with Pacquiao in the Philippines, the superstar boxer told Arum that the plans to fight at least two times per year, until 2013, and then retire.

I doubt this... He is enjoying his job as a congressman.

3 fights max and he will retire.

I doubt this... He is enjoying his job as a congressman.

3 fights max and he will retire.

Congress works around his schedule and he was given a pass to miss sessions, one doesn't interfere with the other more so than say his endorsement, singing, acting, etc.

Plus he has a lot of projects he wants to get done (hospitals, schools, senate/presidential campaign etc) that will require $ from his own pocket, and nowhere else can he make that sort of money outside of boxing.

He's in his prime, no reason to let multi-million dollar paychecks and legacy-cementing wins pass him by when he can maximize his talents and earnings.
