Abuse after Pacquiao fight

Pacquiao is getting a little past it now he should quit whilst ahead but he will probably box on like most boxers do. I admire the chap, he has done a lot for charity and is extremely popular with the general public in the Philippines, a National hero, another reason for him to hang up the gloves. I remember I was working in the Middle East when he beat Hatton (another one who should have quit) and the Filipinos were absolutely ecstatic over his victory, good for them.

Makes me wonder if the suicide admission by Bradley is just to draw a little more publicity to the rematch, you know what these promoters are like.

I'm not sure he'd still be quitting while ahead after the way he got knocked flat by Marquez.

He can't afford to stop; he didn't pay his taxes and now he owes several millions.

So he will get knocked flat.

He won. Just.

Now would be a good time to pay his tax bill and retire.

Alas the national role model will be back in politics.

There's a lot of abuse aimed at the local power company here in Davao: most of the city was blacked-out during the fight and there are hundreds of unhappy people who each paid 450 pesos ($10) to see their hero's match live on pay-per-view TV.
