    There is essentially nobody left for him to fight besides Marquez. Regardless of whether he wins or loses that fight, who can he fight then? The winner of Bradley-Provodnikov II? Rios-Alvarado III?? Jesse Vargas???

    Assuming Pacquaio needs at least 3 more fights to clear his tax debt. How can Arum make this happen for him?

    I see no alternative but 3 more fights with Marquez. Mayweather fight won't be happening, not soon anyway.

    I hope he retires now. He has lost a step and it is clear. He has speed but his output is dropping, punchwise and movement wise.

    People need to stop pretending they know his money situation.

    he could retire but according to him tonight he does not want to.. and really no matter how many people say he has lost a step he just beat the clear number 2 147 fighter in bradley fairly convincingly so why would you ?

    im just waiting for the ppv numbers

    What is going to happen after those couple of years? Don't leave us in suspense. I assume you meant to write something after that long series of periods.

    Going out with a really nice win and your health are good reasons to retire. I don't think there is any chance he will retire but there are good reasons to consider the idea.

    There is no reason for him to retire unless he wants to.

    anyone can keep fighting for as long as he wants as long as he is not beaten up much. Takes good matchmaking and handpicking, but to win championships and all that, he has about 2 more years. Even at that , someone might stop him if he is hit clean.

    Reasonably? He should retire now.
