    I grew up in Jamaica and the reason why the exchange rate baffles people is really beyond me. In Jamaica $1 american is equal to $60 Jamaican currency. Holy ****?! People are rich there if they bring American money, right? No.

    In poor economies things are actually more expensive. For instance, a loaf of bread might cost $150 Jamaican. One loaf. That's over $2 American...which is more expensive than your local supermarket's value brand.

    Houses cost millions of dollars Jamaican, etc. So you really aren't any more wealthy there...get me?

    I can't speak for the Philippines or Asian countries, but that's how it is in the Caribbean.

      Its alway good to beat Morales or Barrera there more famous than Daiz even if there 100 year old beating Morales and Barrera makes you famous.

          Coming from a ****** DUMB**** like you xcariot, people here won't have a hard time to analize why you don't realize that Mab and Morales are the highest rated mexican p4p fighters before they we're trashed by Pacquaio.

          And you are now suprised that Pacquaio is being rated? Over rated?

          Shut the **** up and earn some credibility boiii.

            I dont think he will retire. He still has a lot to prove. He wont go down as a P4P great unless he beats Morales again ( which he wont )

            Then theres another possible Barerra fight( which he would win.)

            JMM is hiding so forget that...

            Baby Bull is a good fight ( a toss up )

            Freitas ( no shame in losing to a bigger man )

            Juarez ( He would beat Jaurez IMO rather easily )

            Pac wont retire. A whole country is resting on this guys shoulders and IMO still has to beat some of the guys i just mentioned to prove he is a P4P great. Plus...i dont know him personally but anyone that fights with that much aggression and intensity cant leave the game at his age. They always come back somehow unless of course he takes up acting full time or becomes some Pinoy Pop Superstar!!!

              Now going back to the topic.

              I'm a boxing fan and I'm a pac fan inside the ring. Outside the ring? I don't care what he does with his ****i'n life.

              He wants to retire? Fine. Good for him. After Fighting Morales, if MAB still doesn't want to fight him, he should fight Baby bull whom he said he can easily beat.

              After that good bye Pacman.

                It's basically the same in our part of the planet.
                1US$ = P52 pesos.

                You can retire rich with your dollars here in in our wonderful 7,107-island nation

                  I don't think he can hang in there with Diaz, like Freitas, they're simply both bigger and stronger.

                      I hope he fights a bit longer, if he fights morales barrera and then gets out im sure he'll comeback at some point and would have missed some valuable time while at his prime. also there are interesting fights for him like barrios juarez and diaz, if diaz becomes a star at lightwieght that would be the perfect fight for him to go out to.
