Why does it seem like Pacquiao became irrelevant overnight?

Maybe y'all on the forums need to understand something, boxing to him is a 2nd job now, I actually follow politics both domestically and internationally, he is already being set up to run when Duterte's term is up...

Plenty of video's on youtube showing him in Session in the Philippine Senate.

He seems perfectly content with his life now and I'm not surprised at all considering he is pretty much set for life.

I agree! If Manny plays his cards right we are looking at the future leader of the Philippines! With a population of 103.3 million! About 1/3 of the US. Not too shabby!

The bandwagon only keeps moving as long you win, once you start losing people change the train.

He got embarrassed on the biggest stage. It was impossible for most to ride for him after that.

Pac s not irrelevant now. It's just people have other fights to look forward to the best against best. So Pac may not be in equation now as people know he's past Prime and not out to prove he's currently pfp the best.
Just like floyd wasn't out to prove he was the best. floyd was a talking point as he was an interesting case in that he wanted people to think he was the best without fighting the best ie thurman, spence, brook, the etc etc .
Floyd was interesting and a good topic for debate as he claimed he could best everyone but never fought them
Historically pacs not irrelevant in atg discussions than you can't ignore him

If Pac beats Mathysse and fights Lomachenko, and still call it irrelevant then idk what you mean by irrelevant.

Yeah the Marquez KO was embarrassing.

[Jsmooth9876]

Really Larry? Pacquiao's popularity has been on the decline for almost a decade. After he got KO'd by Marquez, it dropped sharply..... All the Hmong dudes I knew stopped having fight parties when Pac fought after that.

No one watched those fights between Marquez IV and Mayweather. With the Mayweather fight, everyone was interested because if Manny pulled it off, he would in a lot of way make up for letting the fans down time and time again over the years.

He didn't, and his fans left for good.

Time and time again over the years? How many Pac fights were you "let down" by? If nothing else, Manny brought excitement into almost every fight with his style.

[Jsmooth9876]

Most only catedral cause they though he could handld floyd when he failed he was of no use to them so they stopped caring

Man, I'm picturing this being a real struggle for you to write. Like your brain was at the point of shorting out completely.

[soul_survivor]

Threads made on him get almost no replies,news on him doesnt really get responded to at all..It is like he went from being one of the faces of boxing to yesterdays trash

You just made a thread about hi, the two threads above this are about Pacquiao and what is forum indicative of? Pac drew a crowd of 50k+ in Australia...in frickin Australia.

The guy is still a huge draw, so get over it and pick up your welfare check.

I think pac is still the man to beat. everybody wants a piece of pac.
