Comments Thread For: Pacquiao: I Prayed To God, I Think I'm Ready To Retire

[aboutfkntime]

Eight division world champion Manny Pacquiao says he is likely to retire next year after one last fight to focus on a career in politics. Previously Pacquiao had stated that he wanted to fight a few more times.

The born-again Christian, winner of an unprecedented eight world titles in as many weight divisions and at times touted as a future president of the Philippines, said he had taken career advice from God.

Well, I am selfish, have no interest whatsoever in politics, and I like watching Pac fight..... so I hope he loses the election

Glad both Floyd and Pacquiao are retired. They should have gave us the fight five years ago when it actually mattered the most. And yes, both guys are to blame (if Floyd really really wanted the fight he wouldn't have demanded extra testing and likewise if Pac really really wanted the fight he would have accepted right off the bat). Couple of con artists, truly.

Good riddance.

Cant argue with your post.

Kinda sad really, to stain the careers of both fighters like that.

There should be a special place reserved for Bob Arum..... in hell.

FAREWELL THE PEOPLES CHAMP.

This guy is like a ww1 and ww2 veteran.. has been into so many ring wars and has been fighting since he was a kid and has tasted the ups and downs of boxing.. life and death


WHAT A WARRIOR..

A true legend.

Makes me sad because I think there are a few good match-ups left for Manny but if he's ready to retire he's earned the right to say when.

Make the last fight a great one Pac!

I agree, yet both Pacquiao and Mayweather are old men at this point, at least when It comes to boxing. Pacquiao deserves all the credit In the world for coming back after the brutal KO from Marquez. Not many fighters return from that shot.

I think that is testament to his mental toughness other boxers consider suicide and goes into depression ex hatton. That mother****er just smiled after getting put to sleep by marquez i can't believe it.

Made a thread about this yesterday. The morning show is called "Head Start".

But he didn't really come back from that KO, did he?

• "Went the distance with a lightweight..." -- Floyd (Brandon Rios)
• Went the distance with another lightweight (Chris Algieri)
• Went the distance with Tim Bradley in the rematch
• Used the Lord's name in vain multiple times ("God will deliver Floyd unto me" then "God told me a month before I would lose")
• Made up every POSSIBLE excuse to hide his bad performance ("My shoulder" "my shot" "he wouldn't stand still" "I couldn't train" "The testing drained me" etc)

He then proceeded to delete his Twitter account and turn it over to fan club owners. Still has Instagram but I say, the man's ashamed of himself and how badly he got schooled by Floyd Mayweather after all that trash he talked.

I knew he wouldn't beat Floyd the moment I saw Tim Bradley take a SD from him. There was no corruption, Manny was the A-side. He picked the damn judges!

Then when Marquez told him to his face on First Take that Floyd would beat him and how, Marquez wasn't lying; he just didn't outright say "Manny, you suck getting inside when a fighter is effective at jabbing and keeping distance".

This isn't about how good Floyd is, but how limited Manny is. He fought the same way against Floyd that he fought against Cotto.

He actually had a Berto, he was called Brandon Rios.

Man, I was about to post the same exact thing.

l0l About time, you're shot. You are no longer killer instinct heavily roided Pac, you had a good run Pacman. I'd still love to see Khan vs Pac, oh well

Sounds like you have the other kind of roids. Lighten up man. The guy still has more talent than the vast majority of fighters, and can compete with all in his weight class. And he's a humble man, a humanitarian, wants to help his people. How can you direct hate toward someone like that?

One last fight and he should be ready to retire, you've had one hell of a career champ! HOFer, a Legend and Icon to many, won many championships, given us tremendous fights, one of the most exciting boxers in the history of the sport. Thank you Pac!

Exactly. A great person who brought the fans many high action fights unlike IV Floydie.

I just hope he decides to fight Khan so FINALLY, Khan can be shown that he isn't elite, never was and got treated like a floor mat by one of the best boxers around. He could fight someone else of course but I want to see Khan humiliated again so that he hopefully shuts the phuck up finally.
