Pacquiao could retire after Bradley fight

9 Comments

By Chris Williams:Bob Arum may be in looking for a new gravy train fighter a lot sooner than a lot of people originally thought, as his #1 big money fighter WBO welterweight champion Manny Pacquiao is reportedly considering retirement to devote his time on his reading his bible and working in politics after his scheduled June 9th fight against Timothy Bradley.

According to abs-cbnnews.com, Pacquiao has turned over a new leaf in life, and given up vices such as “womanizing, gambling and drinking…[Pacquiao has] accepted the church’s offer to become as bible ambassador.”

The article states that Pacquiao feels that it may not look right him still fighting in the ring after having accepted the bible ambassador job.

According to the AFP, the Catholic church in the Philippines approached Pacquiao recently to see if they could get him to help promote the bible with fellow Catholics. At the time Pacquiao didn’t commit to the idea but it look as if he’s decided to help with this job.

This obviously could get in the way of Pacquiao ever fighting Floyd Mayweather Jr. due to Pacquiao now considering retirement to devote his time to his politic job and the job of being a bible ambassador.

What this means for Bob Arum is that he’s either going to have to get hard at work trying to convince Pacquiao to not retire or he’s going to have to look for the next Pacquiao. Having seen the recent performance of Nonito Donaire, who many fans see as the next Pacquiao, I don’t see there being anyone that can take Pacquiao’s place. Donaire isn’t the guy, and Arum’s other money fighter WBC middleweight champion Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. is considered a paper champion in the eyes of a lot of boxing fans. Chavez Jr. can’t bring in the Manny money, not when he’s being kept away from guys like Sergio Martinez.

Manny You’re a Dissappointment! Galing samen na mga Filipino na Marunong Umintindi ng Boxing… Duwag Ka! at wala Kang sariling Paninindigan.. You’re a Puppet, wait change that.. you’re Aurum’s Bitch! You Didn’t fight the greatest matched fight for you.. so you can never be one of the greatest.. Sorry but Manuel obviously beats you from the last fight. I get it, you dont have any chance of winning againts floyd mayweather. Youre afraid, Aurum is afraid, Roach is afraid… And dont tell me You’re not, otherwise the fight would have had happen a long time ago. its better if you fight floyd and lose rather than not fighting him at all. Dont blame mayweather.. you have the best TEAM and negotiators in Boxing. It will be stupid to tell us boxing fans that you guys could not make it happen. Why even waste your time with Bradley. Just retire. Youre embarassing Us filipino’s pare.. specially when you try to talk in English,. mali mali naman. There’s no shame in getting a translator rather than speaking the language you know little of. haay Naku! tapos pag may ganintong post the admin will erase it… Freedom of Speech man! let this be posted for everyone to read… dont be fags and remove every little hate Blog Manny gets. Its about time someone tell him How much of Joke He is Now… sayang ka Manny. You cant please everyone. but continue to do what youre doing and soon your name will sound as bad as Mayweather Jr.

If this is true then Manny should just neva even bother facing Bradley,he shouldn’t even b fighting him but instead hr listened 2 his bottler promoter again,arum has been holding pacquiao vs mayweather back and a don’t care what any1 says,the fight was there for the taking and he talked Manny out of it wae his stupid punch line u want make big muny at the mgm grand for a fight of this magnitude,that’s a load of crap the both would have and he knows it,pacquiao would beat Floyd mayweather hands down and Floyd knows it that y he put up crazy demands that’s y arum should have agreed 2 his demands,but he has bad blood with Floyd he doesn’t want 2 make him muny so 2 hell with what us fans want,all am saying is it should b pacquiao vs mayweather instead of cotto,and Bradley June 9th greedy promoters stopped boxings biggest super fight and now Manny considering retiring he should take a fight with Floyd in November and ditch it muny grabbing promoter
