If Manny loses he should take a retirement fight with Amir Khan for millions in Saudi Arabia and finally shut him up

as for Thurman I don't know..losing to a 40yr old in your prime will kind of be career ending granted its a legend but still Thurman on paper should win this if he doesnt it will be a long road back to the top

For Manny? Retire or sell his name a few more times before he retires to run the Philippines? Or ???

For Thurman? Sh^t does he retire since I contend he's got 1 foot outta the sport already? Does he just drop down a tier & call out the Garcia vs Garcia winner? Or ???

If it's a close fight, then Pac forges ahead with his career. However, if he loses by knockout, gets hurt or is badly beaten up by Thurman; Then I can see him calling it a career.

However, if Keith Thurman loses, then he is in danger of becoming a gate keeper status. It's because if he can't defeat an aging 40 and half year old shopworn Pac, then he doesn't belong in the championship/title contention status in the first place.

That is what makes this fight so intriguing. Which Thurman is going to show up? The prime Thurman or the current diminished one?

If manny loses but is competitive he could fight again maybe vs like a danny garcia or mikey. If manny gets KO'd he needs to retire.

If thurman loses he'll need a string of some lesser/middle of the pack welters to get back into the talks of the top of welterweight with crawford/spence. If thurman gets KO'd and it clearly looks like his heart isnt in it anymore he should think about hanging em up.

Depends on how the loss is.

Thurman gets robbed on the cards, rematch
Pacquiao gets robbed on the cards, move on
Pacquiao gets JMM KTFO, retire.
Thurman gets KTFO probably also retire

But I also expected pac to retire after the Horn loss.

I can't see neither guy retiring if either one loses.
Especially Keith he's built his name up, he's not going to stop the money coming in after one loss.
As for Manny, unless he gets totally destroyed he will keep going until the money dries up for him aswell.
They spend years building their name and product, this is their vocation so aslong as the dollars are still their so will their names.
Just gotta look at Khan as an example.

if Thurman gets beat I don't think we will see him in a ring again.

was thinking the same for Manny originally but the more I think about it he will probably have a few easy fights in Asia.

Both guys will stick around for the cash. They always do.

If Manny just hangs in there and is competitive he has a huge PPV with Mikey Garcia early next year or late this year.

Thurman is a weird one, he seems like he's not really into the sport anymore and is all about that playing his flute under a tree in Mumbai type life.

I can't see either guy leaving millions in future fights on the table but who knows.
