Its dumb. Thats like nba players competing at college basketball games.

No benefit in winning an olympic. I mean, yes, the accomplishment would be great but what manny has done in boxing surpass any of that.

Its like kobe bryant competing in some college basketball tournament. Makes no sense!

Nyahahahahahaha where'd you been hiding all these years? KOBE played BASKETBALL in the OLYMPICS and PACQUIAO should not box?

What a shame now young kids will have the dream taken away from them. I guess you will see many kids turning pro at 18

no you dummy if you paid attention nba players play in the olympics so do other pro athletes in other sports as well.

why not?

if allowed, why should pac not try? if he lose, then what? but if he got a gold? wow!

some guys failed to get an olympic gold in their prime...

a lot of boxers about or above 40 yrs old fight for 12 rounds...

so what's the big deal?

If he got a gold, it would be one of the great professional boxers ever beating up on amateurs. There is absolutely nothing to be proud of about that. It would be a disgrace. It is also incredibly dangerous, especially now that there won't be headgear.

Nothing about pro boxers in the Olympics is good or right, and anyone who actually participates should be ashamed.

Love that Wlad and Manny are thinking about this. Hopefully more step up.
