Comments Thread For: Koncz: If Pacquiao Retires, Happiest Day of My Life

[turnedup]

The fact he's just had surgery at 36 for a large rotator cuff tear is a clear indication that it's time to retire. That right hand will never be the same again, it took roach eons to get Pacquaio to the point he would use the right hand as much as his left, 9 months is a lot of time at this age bracket, he doesn't have 2 years to rebuild the strength in that arm and the best physical therapist isn't going to really speed that process up.

He must not have kids or else he's got some answering to do, lol.

Yeah Kuntz I'm sure you'll be thrilled cause what little you did for PAC you won't have even that much to worry about anymore... You big friggin leech... Oh great and wise advisor, tell me how great you are to let your #1 fighter go into a fight against floyd with a "supposed" torn rotator cuff, please enlighten us? Doosh bag...

[PacmanP4PLegend]

pacquiao is lowkey going through a hatton like depression. .the reality of being a phony Christian and con artist is weighing heavy on him ..fans of his in the Philippines committing suicide after the loss (no joke), his fans also suing him for being a snake and him now seen as the ultimate excuse machine and coward. .all of this will lead to mental breakdown

tough it out pacman, i have faith in you

Is the suicide thing in the Phil a true fact? If that's true man that's insane... What a seriously ****** to kill oneself over

I doubt it. Filipino suicide rates have been steadily climbing for decades, and doubt it has very much to do with Pacquiao.
EDIT: Evidence of this trend, especially amongst younger Filipinos, is available from the World Health Organization, the National Statistics Office, and in medical literature, eg below.

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3146433/
"The incidence of suicide in males increased from 0.23 to 3.59 per 100,000 between 1984 and 2005. Similarly, rates rose from 0.12 to 1.09 per 100,000 in females."

There may be a non-zero number of exceptions, but not enough to make a significant difference in the suicide rate. But then, these people probably had other problems as well.

Kontz can make all the statements that he want, but Arum runs that show. And Arum isn't done milking that Manny cow just yet.

[Deeznuts]

Pacquiao won't retire because he will not go out like that especially with that weak performance, its not like he got KO'd or badly beaten, he just lost a boring chess match. But I hope he does, would like for both to retire

[DeadLikeMe]

Yeah right, retire. Unpaid back taxes, advances between fights...he's not retiring anytime soon.

[sugarsmosley]

Haha, the TaxMan retiring? Arum is about to milk that cashcow! #48 just happened to run into #TBE on May 2. These things happen. Manny is a BUM.

Catch the return of Wilder someday on Showtime.
