Will Pacquiao retire after Bradley fight on June 9th?
February 14th, 2012
By Dan Ambrose: WBO welterweight champion Manny Pacquiao recently created a great deal of disturbance in the boxing community when he said he didn’t think he was right for him to be hurting people when he’s following in god’s word. Here’s the exact quote from examiner.com “It’s not right that I share God’s word and at the same time hurt other people.”
If Pacquiao is retiring then Bob Arum, his promoter, needs to start letting fans know so that he can increase the revenue for Pacquiao’s last fight. I imagine if this is indeed his last fight then Arum might be able to get 1.4 million buys out of his less than appealing fight against the light hitting Bradley.
If it’s not Pacquiao’s last fight, then it looks like he was just saying words but not ready to actually follow those words at this time. Who knows? Maybe Pacquiao will decide to follow those words after he gets in a certain number of fights, one in particular being a bout against Floyd Mayweather Jr.
I still have my doubts whether that fight will ever happen now because of Mayweather wanting a bigger financial cut and the hassles of Mayweather’s promoters trying to negotiate with Arum. I can’t see it happening and Pacquiao’s religious thing could ensure that it never happens if he decides to retire soon after the Bradley fight to follow the words.

Yes, manny will retired after. The fight,, got to do what is best for god.
I hope he won’t retire soon. It’s bad for boxing. We’ll be left with the boring and defense oriented floyd and the equally boring Klitscho’s. MMA will eat boxing alive.
he doesn’t have a chance with Bradley anyway, its time to call retirement.
Pacquiao does not want to hurt the ape Floyd, its animal cruelty ‘
PAC kos have you taken your medications today buddy? u sound like a pinoy nutcase. go eat a dog
yea pacquiao RETIRE, U SCARY LITTLE biooooatch
if he loses to bradley, which is possible, then maybe he will and maybe he should
Bye pac! 42-0
Floyed and Manny bring in over 40 million a year!!! Get it!!!! A bunch of minimum wage earners critisize guys that are making millions out of them. How dumb can you guys be?? You worry about your next pay check and still have time to critisize two millionars and call them cowards. Get real, get a life, and dont worry about PAC and Manny because they dont worry about you!
yeah mr. LA TUYA
just like morales,hatton,marquez,dela hoya,cotto,margarito..i heard that before. hungry,experineced,faster,stronger,all the materials to crush manny….same result. “IN COMING !!!!!..COVER UP !!!!….RUN !!! when the smokes clear,referee is raising up manny’s hand. cry baby cry.
MINNY WILL RETIRE CAUSE HES SCARED TO DEATH WITH FLOYD
@ dom
pleaseeee…go to your floidei to accept the 50/50, please ..why only now?why? u should be his adviser when the offer is being laid. please dom, tell floydie to accept it,or else we consider him avoiding manny. he can beat pacman hands down as all u floy fans says…why not accept tha offer? please ask floy..WHY? its all in our mind one thing he is afraid. u all beleive manny is fraud so why your idol may havent prove it to by accepting the fair and just 50/50. if he thinks he can beat manny..???WHY DOM?WHY?
MANNY IS ALREADY MAKING EXCUSES FOR LOSING TO BRADLEY. Timothy actually has the youth, hungerand skills to whip on Manny and Pacman knows it.
Nope. He wont. This is simply a ploy to drum up business to get people to buy the fight.
At least he has a concision and feels guilty for beating all those fighters while on drugs. Ask for forgiveness Pacaquaio
Manny Pacquiao now wants to be an “Alter Boy”. If your future had Timothy Bradley, followed by Floyd Mayweather Jr. you would go religious too.
Yeah, I’ve said it, the problem is that you haven’t posted it once. How can nothing posted be a duplicate?
Simple as this If Pacquiao fight’s Mayweather his chances of Presidency is all but over.
The Pinoy’s won’t want a guy as their leader who got spanked around a ring for 12 rounds easily.
@ Phillipines, your boy is a coward & afraid of what Lil Floyd has waiting for him.
PLEASE FLOYD PLEASE take the 50/50 & send the Pactards into oblivion forever.
Pacquiao wanted to drain Cotto to death again LOLOLOLOL
Floyd is gonna whoop him at 154Ibs…It says it all really.
@ PACMAN & SUPERMAN ARE BROTHER’s, One qst. Are you 12?
@ Polo come back to me when the Pinoy coward takes the challenge from the P4P No 1 Mayweather & I will laugh at you when Manny loses 12 rounds to 0.
Timothy Bradley the Billy-goat of Boxing.

@Dom
I got you my man. Too bad the die hard Manny fans never put Arum in the equation when they talk about Floyd. Arum is the one behind delaying this fight.
FMJ 42 pro fights 26 KO’s
PacMan 59 pro fights 38 KO’s
You do the math!
By the way , I didn’t count the two KO’s that PacMan has suffered in his total.
Retire so what who gives a *#%~
Pacman and superman are both faags
Polo;
Mayweather has a higher KO percentage than Manny. Oh, I guess you would have to actually know something about boxing to know that.
If He does He will put a very dawl end to a great carrier.
@Polo: this guy won’t understand anything we try to explain to him homie! his name says everything ’bout this dude or shawty! lol
@Dom
Floyd has not give anyone such a beating. He punches like your little sister, and usually wins by decision not KO. So shut up.
HAHAHA OMG! YOU’RE SO FUNNY !! IS THIS HOW YOU GET ATTENTION FROM PEOPLE? OH BOY OH BOY! SO FUNNY DOM DOM..DUM DUM !
@ Anti hater phaser, it’s simple Arum is squezzing this guy a little more before he is fed to Mayweather, because after the beating Mayweather gives him his stock will have crashed, now you understand?
Bob Arum’s lapdog, down Manny down
PAC= ATGF-ALL TIME GREATEST FIGHTER
MAYWEEDER=ATR-ALL TIME RACIST
BESIDES MAYWEEDER IS NOT A GOOD FIGHTER @ALL !!
DEFENSE AND RUNNING AROUND IN CIRCLE IS NOT BEING A GOOD FIGHTER! TENDS TO WOBLE AND FALL SO HANGS TIGHT AS HARD AS POSIBLE TO HIS OPPONENTS ARMS!
PAC WILL KO THIS FRAUD 100% GUARANTEED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
chris the ball bag williams hope so
Manny stated 2 years ago that he will retire after 2013 … his mom asked him, his wife asked him and his commitment as a politician.
Boxing is just one phase of Manny life … and Floyd is just an annoying pimple.
I hope he stays in for a couple more years. Without Manny, boxing will lost a lot of its fans. There are great boxers such as Floyd, but they fail to bring such excitement to the sport. But it’s my selfishness. Manny has nothing to prove and earned enough money. So he may retire to focus now on more important things at his homeland.
The boxing world will miss pacman when he does retire. The already dieing sport will flatline when he does. A mega fight with fmj might bring in interest from even none boxing fans, so I hope they give it before boxing goes extinct.
We could talk every day about floyd and manny, about how much money they make,who is a better fighter,who is the p4p king, but at the end of the day we all have something in common, WE WANT TO SEE THEM FIGHT EACH OTHER. So why not join forces and boycot their fights and save money for that mega fight we have been waiting for..
Who cares?
rjhill -
he could make, in one fight, almost the same amount that he’s made in his entire career. that’s why he shouldn’t retire yet. and yes, he has a lot to prove still i don’t care what anybody says
@ polo
Does Marquez also have to give money to Golden Boy?
Why not retire,Nothing more to prove and alot of money.
To all who had a comment on money and percentage. You have to remember that what ever pacquio makes is 48x bigger depending on the exchange rate. because 1 us dollar = 48 pesos, So paquio still makes more money than mayweather..bhahahhahahaha.
All great boxers of the world have a few losses, e.g. Ali, Foreman, Sugar Rays, Joe Louis, Julio Chavez…. And the ones with zero loss record have always been questionable, such as Joe Calzaghe.
Why?
Because the greats always fought the best in their eras, and the questionables avoided dangerous fighters at their prime.
That’s why Floyd has zero loss and Manny 3.
no one can bring what manny pacquiao brought to the boxing. mayweather, yeah he has the talent the skill but manny what brought is the excitement the intense the unexpected, thats what many people want to see and not a boring fight. peace to all!

while manny is busy memorizing bible verses, floyd on the other hand is busy bearing in mind the rules and regulations of nevada jail. a clear picture of totally different and opposite fighters, the bad and the good!
…and guess what? floydiots are happy with what is happening to floyd, like his incarceration, making racist remarks against lin, beating helpless women and security gurads, burning bills, and other bad things that floyd is doing.
i don’t know if these people really know what they are saying. did floyd ever tried to look at the mirror before saying racist remarks against others?
?????????????
Jeff41, give it up dude.. floyd is the best and you know it…
I’m scared of mayweather what do I do daddy bob. Just say your going to retire and when floyd announces a fight we’ll go after mosley again @ catch weight
@Polo
You sound stupid. Trash talking is part of hyping the fight. Learn something kid.
@pac u…. Roach and manny started the trash talk not bradley…. Same day contracts got signed roach and manny came out talking crazy…
@American me…. Manny signed with goldenboy then later on that day signed with top rank.. Obviously he got sued…. Settlement was that he could stay signed to top rank but 13% of he purse would go to goldenboy….
@ polo
Why is 13% going to Golden Boy?
And is that whats going on with Marquez?
Manny has beaten Floyd already. Not just by excelling in the boxing ring, but outside as well – by being a good human being. While Floyd’s skill level is close to Manny, he’s shamed himself for being a woman beater and racist.
@anonymous…. Manny got the better deal????? Cotto is making more then manny and bradley combined. Floyd is gettin 65% of all profits …. And remember 27% of mannys check goes back to arum 13 % goes to goldenboy….. Manny has never made anywhere close to what floyd makes…..
Manny is a constant gambler… Has cheated on his wife hundreds of times and had kids with other women he cheated on his wife with so enough with the reading the bible b.s.
while manny is busy memorizing bible verses, floyd on the other hand is busy bearing in mind the rules and regulations of nevada jail. a clear picture of totally different and opposite fighters, the bad and the good!
…and guess what? floydiots are happy with what is happening to floyd, like his incarceration, making racist remarks against lin, beating helpless women and security gurads, burning bills, and other bad things that floyd is doing.
i don’t know if these people really know what they are saying. did floyd ever tried to look at the mirror before saying racist remarks against others?
you are jelous and frustrated coz manny got the better bout than may,manny will sign the contract n guaranteed 25mil. n he can get more in the next fight, but monny is not greedy like may. he is contented.he can retire anytime,he accomplished what is impossible to other boxer. distractors n jelous fans keep on insulting him, call him all names, accusing him of anything possuble that can destroy him, but manny never say anything against anybody, he dont lie, he dont tweet insult.he dont predict fights, thats the real filipino traits.humility.god fearing people.
Will Manny retire…. will Lewis come out of retirement… will blah blah. You’re a bunch f*ing idiots. Bradley isn’t going to present much of a problem… you’re all just making Arum rich.
The scared and coward Floyd Jr is too scared to pacman that’s why Pacman is going to retire after his Bradley fight.Anyway,please watch Pacman vs Bradley fight bcoz Pacman will show to the world that he’s an extra-ordinary boxer and he deserves to be as one of the greatest boxer of all time,ok? Don’t be jealous again floydiots…i know.Bwahahahahaha!
manny knows when floyd knocks him out he will lose his vote to be president of the flilipines thats why the coward is retiring not because of god.floyd will destroy his whole legacy
Oh really,if this is true…it’s my first time to know that Bradley is also a trash talker.Have you ever heard from Pacman who said a negative comments to anybody?None!Well let’s just see in the ring if Bradley was true to his comments,ok?lol
Why would any one pay Money to see another Top Rank FIXED fight …
NOT ME .. NEVER again will I let Bob Arum rob me with another fight
on PPV knowing he puts his OWN people in the Judges box…HE GOT ME
ONCE but not again …all Pacman has to do is stay on his feet an he will
beat Bradley ..JUST ASK BOB ARUM
It’s all a scam to boost the ppv buys. THey know this fight is not apealing and no one cares. That is why they are leading the world to believe that it might be the last so it will boost the buys and hopefully out sell Mayweather on May 5. Dont buy TOP RANK PPV! It’s all a scam believe me. They just want to outsell Mayweather so Pac can say he is worth more and deserves more in a Pac vs May fight.
Timothy Bradley the Billygoat of Boxing.

According to roach he has run through too much money to retire…. Promo for fight
Who cares what this BUM do ? Pacman can retire an he can tell Freddy
Roach on the way out the door that I said stop SHAKING!!! This bum
Overates his own self worth when really hes Bob Arum’s bottom BI%ch
Floyd would have smoked this punk an if they ever fight Pacman will be
way over paid an Bob Arum will rob him anyway,
The last really good showing Pacquiao had was against the weakened Miguel Cotto. Don’t you wonder how that fight would have gone if Cotto was at full strength.
Honestly, I would rather see Manny Pacquiao take on Cotto at a full 154 pounds.
I would like to see Cotto beat Pacquiao’s azz for a little redemption. Cotto just isn’t fast enough for FMJ. Strong enough yes, just not fast enough.
If this fight takes place today, or 3 years ago, Manny Pacquiao stands little chance vs. Floyd Mayweather Jr. Having no defense, no head movement, no jab, with only one thing he does, Throwing Punches in Bunches, will only work vs. the slow forwad plodders.
Juan Manuel Marquez proved that to the world!
The bottom line is manny is beginning to slow down now and floyd finally thinks he can take him, he should have fought him after manny knocked out hatton and it would have been an amazing event, but now who really is that bothered if they fight!
Winner take all? then Pac would not fight because he would not take the risk lose and he loses without gaining anything for the risk he as put him self in and the training isnt paid for.
If Pac retires it will be the biggest mistake any fighter as done fighters jump at the chance to fight Mayweather so Pac get in an take the fight whether it be 20 or 50% its still alot of money more than you can make off the likes of Bradley, only difference is Bradleys a safe bet.

Hi from Australia, manny and Floyd can both box from what I have seen. It’s not about what we the fans want 2 c, it’s about the $$$$$. I don’t think they will ever fight, y would they? They have 2 much 2 lose, I think a couple of years ago, Manny would have been 2 much pressure 4 Floyd but now I think Floyd would win by decision, Oscar de la Hoya is my favorite, he lost against both but he had a big heart and would fight anyone which I respect, these 2 don’t have my respect:)
DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD
I have often said basically the same thing on here. They will both SAY they will fight. They can make 10s of millions fighting any bum they want. Why ruin that? Who knows who Tim Bradley is? Ask 100 people most will tell you they dont know. Pac is so popular he can fight any one. I dont think he do that much better taking a Floyd fight by the time you split it all up. Until they are not as popular it will not make sense from a money standpoint.
PAcquiao SCARED TO DEATH. PU-C

If there is someone who needs retirement, it should be Floyd. He needs to retire again. But he’ll come back for sure coz he needs more money. As for Manny, I hope he fights Floyd before he gives up his gloves for good, but I doubt it coz Floyd will always have a way to spin every ones head to get what he wants, Money but not Manny.
@ anti hater phaser: life is more than just about money. the sooner you figure that out the sooner your life will have more meaning
Who cares if he retires or not? He is a coward and a zombie!
Manny need to fight Floyd to straighten him up. He still doing god’s work by doing so.
I doubt it there’s too much money to be made plus he will always get support from his fellow Filipinos.
Even if he does retire he is still a great boxer, his fights are awesome, not like floyd’s which are always boringgggg.
I hope the phoney does.
Boxing retires fighters. Its rarely the other way around. Just cant see why he or Floyd would leave all that money on the table. If anyone figures it out let me know.
