Comments Thread For: Pacquiao: Like I Said - I'm Not Gone From Boxing, I'm Still Here!

Pac should still retire at age 40 being in your 30's is 1 thing but everybody know's things really start to go in your 40's...

Needs to avenge the horn loss.

Except broner might kill Pac. He at 40 years old is an old boxer no matter what he says. While Broner doesn't care about either body or head punches, this mfer is indestructible and has full tank.

Haha true

I was just coming up with a strategy for two checks instead of one lol we know he's fighting for money at this point

Someone like Terence Crawford would probably knock him out cold. This is something I would never want to see again done to Pacquiao, especially at his age.

No! Not with Pacs work rate. Crawford would have to take a lot of chances also.

This pretty much confirms it.

I'm guessing his minimum purse will be $20 million lol I could see the bids getting near $30 million. As long as it's timed right. Have him fight in Malaysia or another global spot that lines up with US primetime (can't fight here apparently because the IRS is on him.)

Top Rank - Loma
Showtime - Mikey or Broner
Hearn - Khan

It'll be interesting to see who wins this auction lol

If Manny was smart he'd fight Broner, beat him, then squeeze two checks out of this whole thing lol

Your guess is pretty close, according to Philstar.com, Mike Koncz said the offer they received from Malaysian investors was “tremendous” and very hard to refuse and Pac is bound to earn more than what he did for his 3 previous fights against Bradley ($20 million), Vargas (4 million) and Horn (10 million).

I don’t think so, Broner can’t even beat Vargas and whenever he gets hit hard, he goes on retreat mode and his aggressiveness disappears.

If you let your hands go against Manny and do toe to toe, the left hand will look for your chin. Reason why he don't get a chance to knock out his past opponents coz they don't trade anymore after they feel Manny's left. They need to cover, run and hug until 12 rounds.

But he want no parts of Crawford lol. But i would love to see him vs DSG

Pacquiao looked strong and clearly had Matthysse flustered with his uppercuts and straight left. But as a huge Pacquiao fan I have to be honest with myself. I felt like Pacquiao looked lackluster. Matthysse looked shot, either that or really pissed that he couldn't get off. Pacman threw some solid punches and just when it looked like he was about to rev up fell short and resorted to throwing 2-3 punches at a time.

Pacquiao looked good in victory and he did well against someone his size that wasn't able to rough him around. But I can't help but wonder if this fight was makeup trying to cover up the real problem; Pacquiao's decline has accelerated after his Jessie Vargas win he's no longer an elite fighter. I hope he retires tbh as his fan. That's just my analysis.

I mean, if you give Manny credit for the wins he should've had over Horn and Bradley, his only 2 losses in the past 10 years or so was against Marquez and Floyd (not exactly "bums"). He's not the Manny of the past, no doubt about it, but I think his decline is being exaggerated a little bit.

That being said, I was su****ious of the two knees Lucas took; my view wasn't great but it looked like the punches that caused them barely connected. It's also possible that I have no idea what I'm talking about (it's happened before).

I say Mikey in Tokoyo, or Khan in London! Broner is a waste of time, and I doubt he'll go outside the states! Broner should've taken it when Arum offered it to him!
