Comments Thread For: Manny Pacquiao Hints Retirement is "Coming Close"

[Bolopunch68]

who is this guy fooling.. bob arum decides when he retires ..and when the IRS swoop in on that $80 million he'll have no choice.. plus floyd is gonna embarrass him, he wont retire on that note

and whats up with the god talk, im sure god got better things to do than worry about two rich guys throwing hands

You sounds like Floyd doesn't mention God into the mix. Arum decide when he retires? So even if his contract is done he still gonna fight under TR? You're dumb as a rock if you think that. IRS will breath on both fighters neck. Which Floyd have to pay more for his bigger earning than Manny. Floyd's gonna embarrass himself for quiting on his stool and might not fight Manny for a rematch after Manny takes his soul.

I've been hearing an awful lot of talk about how Pac's gonna knockout Floyd and gonna embarrass him, but it sounds like something I've already heard before.

"Gatti's gonna KO Floyd!"
"Oscar's gonna KO Floyd!"
"Hatton's gonna KO Floyd!"
"Canelo's gonna KO Floyd!"

Remind me what happened back then and what makes this any different. "Oh Pac's different, you can't compare Pac to those guys Pac's one of a kind he's gonna reck Floyd!"

Stop. Cuz the exact same thing was said about all the other fighters who faced Floyd. It's the same story different day. What don't you people understand? I've learned a long time ago to never bet against Floyd. Not even because he's better. It's because he never goes into a fight unless there is NO DOUBT in his mind that he will win. Mark my words, he will win. End of story.

I certainly would.


After this fight, who on earth is either guy going to fight that would be anywhere near as lucrative.

It's kind of like earning minimum wage after making six figures. Can't see how motivated either guy could be after this.

I truly believe that Manny wants to avenge that KO loss to Marquez, so after his fight with Mayweather he will pursue a fifth fight agains Marquez. The guy is not scared to lose and really want his payback I can see Manny retires once he avenge his loss against Marquez.

Realistically both can retire after this fight with the money they will make.

Floyd still has one fight left on his contract

Bob Arum: but ..but... How about the Jessie Vargas fight!!!

On the surface not the best mindset to be approaching a fight with particulary when we bear in mind that a couple of days ago when asked how fired up he was for the fight he said he was "excited because the fans are excited" and when pushed on what kind of Manny Pacquioa Floyd can expect to find on fight night he replied, "a good fighter".

His lustre for boxing has clearly wained. He trains for two months before a fight but other than that doesn't step foot in a boxing gym.

With that said the man that steps through those ropes is a very different animal to the one sat fielding questions before he's even started serious training. He won't have any problems motivating himself once he enters fight camp, he knows better than anyone what a victory would mean to the people of the Philippines.

PERIOD.

[IMDAZED]

That Pacquiao interview immediately after the fight was signed was the worst. I don't know if he was tired or what but he damn sure didn't sound too psyched for the fight. Almost depressed or something.

Same thing can be said about Manny,

Oscar gonna knock that midget out
Morales will embarrass him
Marquez will counter him all night long
Barrera will knock him out so and so forth.

No doubt in his mind? waited 5 years and no other way out that's why he finally agreed. There is a reason behind those ducklings, we will find out come fight night.

Oh man. No more PacT@rds? What will we do?
