“Manny Knows”. You’ve seen the shirt. But this time around, Manny Pacquiao doesn't know. Nobody does anymore. Can "Pac-Man" still be great at age 37? Will this be his final fight? The answer: It's anybody's guess. This from Eric Raskin of HBO Boxing.
On April 10, Sunday at 9:00AM (Philippine Time), all major cinemas nationwide will be showing the Pacquiao Bradley III fight LIVE via satellite with no commercial breaks. This will be their third match. Back in 2012, Bradley took home the most hotly disputed decision of this century. And in 2014, Pacquiao won on points, competitively but clearly. With those fights as our barometer, Bradley is in a position to answer all of our questions about Manny--- and possibly send him into retirement.
"I don't know if this will be Manny's last fight, but he is training like it's going to be his last fight," said his longtime coach, Hall of Famer Freddie Roach. "Manny has achieved so much in his boxing career, and if this is going to be his swan song, I know he wants to go out blazing with a spectacular performance... He knows how to close the show and he wants this show closed with fireworks. He wants to finish the book on his boxing career with a spectacular ending... [But] I do think Manny has more quality fights in him. His power, speed, and work ethic are still superior."
What's tougher to pinpoint is how much this fight means to Pacquiao. He's seen and done it all several times over. He's about to become the first championship-level fighter to engage in three separate trilogies. After all the titles, all the pay-per-views, and all the millions earned, is boxing still make or break for him? It had better be.
There’s also one question that you need to ask yourself: “Will I pass on the opportunity to see a boxing legend fight live?” If you have not experienced seeing these live boxing matches, you’re missing out on a lot. We have received very positive feedback from cinema goers who have seen the fight live in theaters:
