    retire after mayweather if he wins. if he loses...i'd still fight him again. get another shot and another 80 million + PPV.

    This, as long as the fight is fairly close a rematch will happen. The money involved is just insane.

    The issue for me as a fighter would be for both guys Floyd and Manny is where do you go from here? You are about to make 100 million dollars. How would you get up for and train for a fight after this making even 20 or 30 mil? It would seem like peanuts compared to the mega payday both are about to get. I wouldn't fault either guy for retiring win or lose.

    Pacquiao was never known to being an ingrate like Marquez to walk off without giving rematches. Even to someone that disrespected him like Mayweather, he would sure as hell give him a rematch if he beats him.

    They'll rematch. By not fighting again they are throwing 100s of millions away. Everyone who makes money from this will also push for the rematch.

    Floyd will go for the 50-0 regardless.

    I wouldn't mind Pac facing a younger and fresh fighter like Thurman, Brook or even Khan who's looked improved as of late

    Manny Paquaio could retire today and no one but the Mayweather zombies would fault him for it. Manny has fought all comers, he ducked no one. He came up the hard way had to fight to survive. He's done everything in his power to get Mayweather in the ring but the list of Mayweathers excuses not to are as long as the great wall of China.
    Mayweather on the other hand was mollycoddled & protected throughout his career. He wasn't fighting grown men to survive when he was 15 yrs old.
    Mayweather couldn't fight Margarito because he'd had 6 losses so he fought Baldomir who had NINE LOSSES!!! good logic huh???
    When they are both retired Manny will have the best legacy, win or lose in this fight, because he is a FIGHTER!!!! Floyd will always have that DUCKER
    title tarnishing his legacy.

    Too bad your opinion means nothing. The Ring already ranked the top 20 boxers since WW2 and PBF was ranked 12th Pac was no where on the list.:hi: If PBF retires 50-0 he will be a top 15 ATG. If Pac beats PBF and retires he won't be a top 15 ATG.:deal

    Pac probably should retire after this fight or maybe 1 more. If he wins probably retire if he loses a farewell fight would be great.
