Why is Pac so inactive?

These days 2 times a year at this level is considered active. When you're a newly turned pro with any kind of credentials the schedule is sometimes once a month but training camp is at least 8 wks long at the elite level....and depending on how easy or damaging the fight is, there might be some necessary recovery time in between fights. Not to mention what it takes to promote big fights. It's a lot of work.

 

Nobody at the top level fights more then a few times a year.

 

Two fights a year is inactive? Pacquiao has a full-time job outside of boxing, we're lucky he's still fighting, let alone twice a year. With Marquez he will have had 9 fights in the time Mayweather has only had 3 fights. Now that's inactive.

 

Pac fought Oscar Hatton and Cotto in a 12 month period which was amazing although technically only 2 of those fights was in one calender year

still amazing at that level

 

His PED cycling schedule only allows for 2 fights a year.

 

It takes time to build superfights. When you earn 30 million per superfight, you only want to fight superfights.

 

oh my gosh! what does this say about floyd fighting once a year and have vacations as long as 16 and 20 months?

 

It says he's filthy rich, yo.

Oh my atsch.. another maynever parrot. :huh Stop sniffing your own a$s!

 

50 years ago, fighters were fighting for money. Promoters were protecting them just like today. Corruption was worse than today.

Don't look at history with pink glasses.

Pacquiao fights twice a year because he's at a point in his career where he wants only big fights and you can't do that 3 or 4 times a year. Modern training techniques also make it difficult to fight as often as before.

 

it is kind of funny, though. he use to fight more often years ago. now he only fights eveery 7 or 8 months

 

Pacquiao's peds is better than Floyd's.

 

Mike Tyson fought 13 times in 1986
