Why does it seem like Pacquiao became irrelevant overnight?

You're either hot or you're not. When you start losing/declining people jump off the boat.

well, we still have you to make threads about him.

Definitely not overnight. After the Mayweather fight, there was a huge drop off in interest. I like the guy and over the past couple years have seen myself as sometimes the only person to bump a thread about a Pac fight.
His fans moved on to GG and Kova, then moved over to Loma, etc.

He should've hung em up a couple years ago. I have no idea why he is still fighting.

I think him and Floyd's careers peaked with each other. After that people became less interested, especially with Pac because he lost.

They were both on the decline as well, even before they fought so I am sure that contributed.

Pac severely dropped off in his last fight though.

Yea it is weird I have to post about him sometimes for him to be mentioned

he should have hung them up after a goodbye fight once he lost to floyd still he will be remembered as one of the best of his era behind floyd not a bad place to be

There is a lack of respect for boxers in general on boxing forums. He should be celebrated every time he enters the ring, even now. All time greats are few and far between.
