What's next for Manny Pacquiao?

[RuleOfTheSpear]

Spence/Mikey winner makes more sense.

[Eff Pandas]

If Pacquiao can make still make 140 as easy as he and Roach claim, he should move down and make a run against the champs down there.

Vs who??? I wouldn't be mad at Josh or Regis getting a shot at Manny to make their own names, but wtf is in that for Manny?

Its also short money & all risk for Manny. Its more respectable & less damaging to Manny's overall legacy to lose to any of these 147 title holders over the much less proven & less sellable 140 title holders.

If there is some superfight looming at 140, like say Loma moved up or whoever wins the WBSS tournament got to some level of Bud Crawford status at 140 at a future date, than it'd make some sense. Right now I don't see it making any sense at all.

Manny is in this for money & big fights not just to keep winning fights. And sh^t man at Manny's age he's on borrowed time in the ring & there is no telling how many fights he has left w/e weight he's at.

Honestly... just Floyd and that's it.

He's put his body through hell for 20 years. Get that last huge payday and call it a day Senator Pacquiao.

But for Manny, a fight against Spence, Thurman, or Porter, would most likely be a cash out fight in my opinion. Win or lose, Manny takes a lot of damage against any of those guys and has to call it a career. Manny's money problems are well documented, and that's why he still fighting. I'm not sure if one more fight against any of those 3 is going to be enough to solve his money problems for good.

Sadly, Manny says he wants to fight a few more years. He has a shot at unifying 140 and making some decent money against those guys. Meanwhile, the PBC 147 champs (Spence, Thurman, Porter) can fight each other. A top welterweight will emerge (probably Spence) and then Manny moves back up for a mega fight in 2020.

Garcia would be nice fight.

[KillaMane26]

Anybody who wants to see Manny vs Spence or Thurman smoking the same meth Broner was on in that post interview.

[KillaMane26]

140lb Mikey Garcia is a decent fight...But id sumbody say Spence one more damn time lol smh

[JakeTheBoxer]

Retirement.

Crawford, Thurman and Spence should fight each other and create their own legacy.

Cash out fight? Manny had his cash out fight vs Floyd already. That was his walkaway payday. Now he's just chugging along cashing every check he can get & he can lose to all these guys at 147 that got a belt & he's still not gonna be cashed out. And Manny might even get another cash out vs Floyd. Or if McGregor boxes again Manny could be in play for that payday too.

Win or lose, Manny takes a lot of damage against any of those guys and has to call it a career. Manny's money problems are well documented, and that's why he still fighting. I'm not sure if one more fight against any of those 3 is going to be enough to solve his money problems for good.

Manny's a tough dude. And oddly outside of his KO losses the worst I ever seen him look in a fight waa when Horn was allowed to mug him. I'm not sure Manny beats any of these guys except maybe Porter, but I don't think he's gonna take some horrific beating to any of them.

And hell man Manny has money problems cuz its come so easily to him like a lot of athletes. Nothing is gonna save him from himself with that except him having big money coming in post boxing.

Sadly, Manny says he wants to fight a few more years. He has a shot at unifying 140 and making some decent money against those guys.

Lol wut? What kinda paydays do you think Josh Kelly & Regis Prograis are bringing Manny?

And do you honestly think Manny is running over those guys anyway?

He's not getting paid half as much for those fights & those guys are risks too. And at Manny's age he could come in a shadow of himself for any fight & be done. In the risk vs reward assessment it makes zero sense for an old guy to not run towards the money while he can.

And lol at your theory the PBC 147lbers get sorted out by the end of this year. Thurman has been sitting on his hands for a year & change now & he's only fighting Josesito Lopez next. I got no faith he'll fight again this year. And Porter has had chances to fight Spence already. These guys ain't figuring out nothing with who's #1 in the next 11 months. I'm not even confident there will be a fight between the 3 of them that happens this year.

After a very good display tonight against Adrien Broner, who do you guys want to see Pacquiao fight next and what fight makes the most sense for him right now?

I'd love to see him fight the winner of Errol Spence vs Mikey Garcia. But I think a fight against Keith Thurman for the real WBA belt would be the best fight for Manny right now. On the contrary to a lot of people I wouldn't like to see him fight Terence Crawford because I think it wouldn't be that competitive. Only if Pacquiao and Crawford are the 2 last men standing that I would like to see that fight.

Shawn Porter is out of question for me against anyone due to his ugly style.

I want him to retire asap. If Khan doesn’t get KOed against crawford then fight him and KO him lol
