Comments Thread For: Pacquiao Fed Up With Politics, Roach Hopes He Stops Boxing

I think it's hard for Manny being a Christian to be part of Duterte's killing machine.

It's good to see Freddie has got his back ....it's just a pity that Manny won't heed the advice.

He'll end up losing to Horn again or substandard fighters like Khan or the likes .

Mannys done .....

nah, his money is just running low.

Manny, what did you think politics was before you went into it?

Did Roach still not get paid? He seems a bit sour when he says Pac isn't doing a good job as a boxer? Why the **** not? He beat Horn and was robbed. He's not looking great but he's 38 so understandable.

He could suspend the political career for six months, whip himself into tiptop shape and kick Terence Crawford's ass before retiring in glory.

Dealing with politicians, has taught Manny to shed his trusting/gullible nature for a cynical mentality.

He should have become a senator 10 years ago, that way, he would’ve learned how to deal with Arum.

As far as Manny’s boxing career, he’s still viable as an elite fighter, but it’s going to be at 140 instead of 147. Forget about the result (which was questionable), Manny’s vaunted strength and stamina has diminished (who’s muscled Manny the way Horn did? and when’s the last time Manny has faded like he did in the Horn fight?). Despite that, I think 140 is wide open and he’s the favorite against everyone sub 140 (although I would favor Mikey Garcia at this point).

wait, Pac is fed up with the politics of Arum controlling him like a guinea pig, or the paper filling he does in office which he calls ''political service.''

In America and the UK it's usually ideal for government figures to have some sort of degree in a field or studied political sciences to understand how politics works anyways.

Politics is not a business for "the people", it's a business for the greedy, the corrupt. They don't like outsiders coming into the fold, they don't have anything to leverage against them, no blackmail. People who start local and make it big in politics have all had to sell out, piss away their souls and if push came to shove, there WILL be some dirt on them to keep them in line.

Trump had no experience, expertise, degree or qualifications and yet is somehow was able to convince enough idiots that he was capable of holding the highest political position in the U.S. so that kinda destroys that theory. Lets also not forget Gov. Schwarzenegger or President Reagan. I think its fair to say just about anyone can be a politician and if your intentions are good like i believe Pacmans were, even better.

Meh, Trump graduated from Wharton Business School, which is kind of prestigious here in America and ran a billion dollar empire.

Not a fan of his, but totally different than just getting socked in the head for 20 years.

Id say Reagan probably had the highest of all the above mentioned. Arnold and Pac are probably about even and Trumpster not too far behind them. But lets not pretend IQ level makes a differnce anyways when we've had guys like Bush Jr. in office. he makes Trump look like a computer nerd lol

Reagan was an idiot that went to college at little Eureka College.

He even took pride in the fact that he didn't understand geopolitics all that well.

Arnold Schwawrzenegger is actually a really smart man with a super high-IQ.

Much higer than Bush & Reagan

Unfortunately, Pac, Gods guidance ain't gonna help at all because it's just a figment of your imagination. Just like winning a decision in Australia was a figment of your imagination.
Jeff Horn is the Devil, Beelzebub, and Baal. He's out to get you, Manny.
It's God's disciples that ****ed the country in the first place, Pac.
All that tax-free status, horde's of poor, uneducated plebians to exploit for cheap labour by multinationals, and a rampant culture of general ignorance equivalent to the 16th C Roman Empire.
