Fans are wondering if Manny Pacquiao still has the focus for boxing and fighting Floyd Mayweather to become the pound-for-pound boxing king. History tells the boxing world that when fighters start talking about retirement, bad things tend to happen. Fighters focus on other things that distract them away from boxing, fitness, and intense training. Once Pacquiao announced that he asked his mother for one last fight in the ring, and then briefly entered the hospital for a mild ulcer, fans began to worry that Pacquiao may not fight in the ring again.

While Manny wants to focus his attention on politics within the Philippines, it is almost certain that he will fight again at least once more to satisfy his fans. Boxing for Pacquiao has always been about the fans and making his countrymen proud. He fights as the pride of the Philippines.

The top sportsbooks have Pacquiao as a slight underdog, and that would support the belief that Manny should have stayed out of politics and continued to focus on his career as a boxer. Floyd Mayweather could be a tough opponent for Pacquiao and he doesn’t need any political issues to take away from his total focus on training and preparing to knock out Mayweather in the ring.
