    Hmmmmmmmmmmm and how many have said the same. it's OK til they need a quick injection of cash to pay a tax bill or a Divorce Settlement. :whistling: and then they clamber quickly back into the Ring for just one more Fight and normally get a pasting or plain Embarrassed then disappear into obscurity.:pompus:

    I don't think Manny is hurting for cash. He could retire today and still live like the Pope.

    I'd guess because Pacquiao actually loves boxing (even if I always root against him, I can still respect his dedication to the sport). As a comparison: Jordan retired from basketball then came back.....and I assume it was because he loved to play the game and felt he still had some left in him.

    Sounds like a proper British name to me. You guys are pretty much all Arabs, Persians, Indians and North Africans now aren't you?
