    he has enough money and power,, maybe hes going to start his now Federations u know. Make new world titles???? thats would be cool and if there under golden boy Pro.. , they will be no ducking or Bull **** jugdes or u know ****. And i think hes has the money and power to sign a tonne more A fighters. It would kinda be like the UFC. NO bull****,, once ur in the mix, everybody should fight everybody earn title shots. not joe blow fighitng champains.

    doubt it, theres too much money to be made not retiring, and oscars all about them dollaz. did u notice the rhetoric going around starting a couple days after the fight. it went from "wow pacman moved up to beat oscar, hes incredible" to "oscar was weight drained fighting in a division he hasnt fought in for years". oscar saw fit to get the excuses out there and on more then one occasion.

    i think he did it to give himself credibility for one last go at 154-160. well see for sure next week though.

    Pacquaio did move up to beat Oscar and it was incredible, but there is no denying that Oscar was an old, weight drained and semi retired fighter at the time.

    I think its ok to give Pac-Man plenty of credit for the win, and also point out that that version of Oscar was pretty awful.

    I'll be disappointed if Oscar retires, but he's had a great career and I wish him the best if he decides to do so.
