This Manny Pacquiao is a very famous boxer and the fact that he managed a victory at the age of 40 shows clearly that he has prepared quite well for this match. He could always pull out of the box and relax, but it's very ambitious. Many retired from the box when they were younger, but he is an opportunist and takes advantage of his good shape. Smile

Or they did just choose the right opponent for him this time. He has passed his zenit for years now. And boxing has 10+ different federations now, so theres always a title up for grabs by mugs anyway.

I thought this was a very one sided contest and i was shocked to see that one of the judges had it pretty close. I have never rated Broner that highly and this fight went a long way to validating that conclusion

If another fight against Mayweather is not an option, Pacquiao can still take on that irish MMA fighter, who also fpught against Mayweather. Should secure an at least decent pay day, before he himself can move into retirement. But boxers tend to make that one fight to much.

Not very interesting sport boxing to me personally but many million of fans watch this sport and famous boxers get very big money for one performance. I think it is too much like 20 or 30 millions for one fight and they also fight for one otlr two million.
Posted by crankmuppet: The brain isn't built to take the abuse it does from boxing and surely he has enough money to comfortably retire. He has nothing more to prove.
High profile athletes are usually spending their money as fast as they earn them. Most of them are going broke within five years after retiring.
