Based on Manny Pacquiao’s controversial performance against Juan Manuel Marquez last year, many fight scribes are picking “Desert Storm” to pull-off what would widely be viewed as the surprise upset.
Are journalists and pundits scrutinizing Pacquiao’s last outing with an overly officious eye, or is the 33 year old truly showing the signs of an aging champion?
Expert fight trainer James Gogue analyzes the WBO Welterweight Championship match-up to find out whether or not Manny Pacquiao fans have a legitimate reason to be concerned.
“Manny Pacquiao is truly an international star and whomever he decides to fight is going to be a huge event. Timothy Bradley has established himself as a name in the sport with wins over Devon Alexander, Lamont Peterson, Junior Witter, and Kendall Holt.”

Manny has said this will be his last fight. And if you go in with that mentality of it being your last fight… you eventually lose the fight.

its not pacquiao that wanted the outdoor its bob arum who wanted it.its all bob arum ur hearing guys.all pacquiao wanted is the 50 50 split…and yes he did say he would take a lesser purse then mayweather jus to make the fight happen but,bob arum came to him(pacquiao) and start talking about they shuld do 50 50 split because we all know bob wants money and pacquiao knows it he is jus letting it go of course pacquiao agreed to 50/50 because he knows whats going to happen if he wins.which means if he wins he still get less money???NOT FAIR FOR PAC…im saying it again all pacquiao wanted is 50 50 split and the fight can happen anytime anywhere.period.

pacquiao did not say this is his last fight he is saying that it MIGHT be his last fight thats what he said in the filipino news called abs-cbn.plus pacquiao is nice he might probably do what he can to give us what we want on november or december for pacquiao last fight.we all know thats mayweather.
pacquiao dont need floyd because pacquiao allready accomplish is goal.howmany boxers were there ever since boxing sport was invented?…ill take my guess about 8,000 boxers and only one of that 8,000 boxers became to ever make 8 champions in 8 weight division…but its us(the fans) that wanted to see the fight happen because some people still dont believe pacquiao is the best pound for pound boxer.

Manny Pacquiao came out and said he’s willing to take the smaller purse but that was just a ploy to let know that if mayweather would have another excuse after the blood testing and there you go we all have the answer.Now he’s planning to retire and because he can’t chase the guy and realized he’s falling already into maywaether’s trap although manny should be in control of the negotiation because technically manny has no problem with the Nevada rules or system and mayweather is the one that stipulates a ridiculous demand in the contract,,it’s clear that mayweather dont want part of pacquiao…
