"Ang isang boksingero, kung iisipin natin, mag-eensayo ng ilang buwan, not less than two months. Sparring every other day. Bugbugan tapos paglaban sa ring, hindi mo pa alam kung mananalo ka o hindi. Hindi mo alam kung mahirap yung fight o madali. Walang kasiguraduhan," says Manny Pacquiao.

Is being classy an issue here? The Pacquiaos are a bunch of good and religious people. Their present standing goes with the mold many of us would never fit into no matter how hard we try. Faith in God and hard work had made them. It cannot be denied.

People who call them names despite the honor and respect Manny earned for the country will soon feel the harsh words going back to them. He may be intellectually short but Manny is endowed with something to make up for it that is God-given: powerful fists. Class? What's in the word anyway and how far people with it could go? Mga sosyalero at sosyalera na wala namang pera. To some hypocrites out there, do not allow envy betray you. What makes you think Prada looks any better on you?

mnanny,,una mag retire kana,.para sa iyo din yan,,mag focus ka na sa family mo at anak...wag kang pauuto o papagamit sa mga pulitko lalo na kina BONG REVILLA,CHAVIT..hayy....naku!!kakainin ka ng mga yan,,kung sira na sila idadamay kanila,wagg,.choose frens na simple lang at maayos tlaga,.wag sila.wag ka ng mag endorse iho,,pls,ikakasira mo yan,.waggg.,b humble at stay simple lang,..wag na...ayusin ang relasyon kay god,,

RETIRE RETIRE RETIRE yan ang talagang dapat mo gawin. Enjoy your money and use it wisely. Huwag sa pulitika huwag sa sugal at alak huwag sa babae. Huwag mo ipilit yung hindi para sa yo. At yang mga pulitiko na yan gagamitin ka lang habang may pera ka at habang sikat ka. gagawin ka lang pang hila. Mag esep esep ka.

ang di ko maintindihan bat kailangan mo pang i-endorse si Villar. lol.. kunsabagay, hindi naman lahat ibibigay sayo ng Dios like ang matalinong pag-iisip. pero mas marami sanang lalo pang hahanga sayo kung nanahimik ka na lang sa usaping pulitika tutal Manny Pacquiao means the pride of the Philippines kaya u should have remained non-partisan. yun bang hindi ka identified sa kahit kaninong pulitiko. kunsabagay pera pera lang yan. lol. Basta, the best ka pa rin for me kahit ganyan ka. andyan na yan eh. lol!

mabuti yan, mag retire kana. ang dami mo nang pera. wag kang padadala ky mayweather kasi gugulangan ka lang nya. wala ka ng dpat patunayan kasi nagawa mo na lahat. wag mo nang pasukin ang politika. gagamitin lang ng mga politiko ang pera mo sa kampanya kasi alam nila nag naglalabas ka ng pera! maawa ka sa pamilya mo. sa halip ay mag business ka nalang. kahita hindi ka ng magwork at mamulitika, mabubuhay pa rin kau sa dami ng pera nyo.

ay naku Jinky magsalita ka na.

It's good for you na mag retire ka na, it's time for you to enjoy your money around the world with your family.

Ahahaha Dameng enggetera detu At least sela Mommy Dionne may Money Kayo luk at da way you put others down Sama ogale nyo Magtotbras nga kayo Wala na nga kayong money Wala pa kayong class Ahahahah

ano ba tong taong to gusto lahat pasukin...maging actor na flop naman, maging singer na super flop din, pasukin ang politics loser din, gustong maging playboy nabuking! mag boxing ka na lang ,,, ang tao nga naman di makuntento

kaya ganon si jinky sa pag uwi nila ni manny syempre no nadagdagan na naman ang yaman nya kaya happy sya sinong dimatutuwa sa milyones na yan hahaha.sana lang wag ng pasukin ni manny ang politics hindi para sa kanya yon eh.

No. 54 - bukopie

Korek ka diyan, actually wala naman talagang karir si Mommy D pero dahil sa humampas na popularidad sa kanya dala ng Pacman fame ay masasabing nagkarun sya bigla ng espasyo sa showbiz. Sandamakmak na commercials at TV guestings, pati movie na rin. Aba sino, sino sa planetang ito ang pagkakaabalahan si Nanay D if hindi sa bulusok ng tagumpay ni Manny? Aside fr. that of course aminin na nakakaaliw ang majondang yan, isa syang magandang ehemplo ng kasabihang MONEY CANNOT BUY CLASS bwahahahaha

manny,,lahat ng pinoy,,,U MUST RETIRED!!!,.tama na,,,lahat ng sobra o labis ikakasama mo na,,tama na,ibigay mo na sa iba yann...focus ka na sa pagiging ama at asawa,,tama na,,saludo kami sa desisyon mo iho,,,makinig ka sa nanay mo,,,,,tama na minsang naibangon mo ang PINAS,,,,

I think Manny should listen to her mother's advice to retire from boxing. Mother knows best. The mother is just concerned about him.

God has given Manny more than what He asks for, and he's so blessed in many ways.

Manny should not wait until he's sick and disabled to decide for retirement. Enjoy your life outside the ring, with your family and millions.

Manny, the fans love watching you in your triumphs in your boxing fights, but they will never be there in your defeats. Believe, they will never care about you if you are already sick and/or disabled.

Listen to your mom and value your health. Boxing is dangerous.

I encourage fellow Pinoy boxing fans to boycott the Mayweather-Mosley fight para mabawasan ang yabang ni Floyd. We can always watch the replay on HBO the next Saturday night.

Patulugin at patahimikin muna si Mayweather-weather bago ka magretire. At pwede ba bawas-bawasan mo entourage mo? Di ko type pagmumukha ng buntot mong si Chavit.

enjoy mo na ang lyf wid family manny.

mariacat - i didn't know me bonggang showbiz career si mommy d??? kumita b ung movie nila ni aiai???

About pacman's retirement naman, this only proves na talagang success can be too addicting. Gusto sana naming maniwala sa panikluhod ni Mommy Dionisia na mag-retiro na si Manny pero sana din maisip ng majondang yan na co-terminus ang showbiz karir nya sa popularity ni Pacman, in short biglang maglalamlam ang bituin nya pag wala na rin sa limelight ang anak nya. Kaya esep-esep Mommy D, tell me what u want, what u really, really want, then tell me what u want, what u really, i wanna know, i wanna know!

Pansin lang namin ng mga kapitbahay ko, kada hero's welcome para kay Manny pagbalik ng Pinas, bakit kaya parang papangit ng papangit si Jinkee? Parang may nababago lagi sa itsura nya. We love the good old jinkee more, simple pero mas lutang ang ganda. Nagiging OA na sya sa mga get-up nya lately lalo na nung nakaraang na kasagsagan ng isyung Krista Pac By Man, rumampa sa NAIA ang Jinkee na parang kinapos ng tela, parang galing mag-tennis sa himpapawid, ga-ruler lang ang haba ng damit. Sana mag-hire sya ng fashion consultant para di sya nao-over masyado

...I wonder what he's gonna do with all that money! hmmm ...you can contribute to blonde-skinny-btch foundation to help poor hungry pipol like me living in vivaglam Hollywood California USA! ...I didn't even know we're neighbors down here!

...a million dollar is probably generous! uh huh!

ang sarap sana ng retirement ni Manny kung di sya papasok sa politics...wala ba syang balak na mag-travel around the world with his family like tumira sila sa ibang bansa for a year sa sobrang dami pera nila kayang kaya niya yun, tira sila ng one month each country sa...

switzerland, italy, germany, france, bahamas, U.S., U.K., Spain, etc...at pagbalik nyo sa pinas, mag-business ka na lang.

yeah that's a good idea Manny na magretire ka na habang nasa itaas ka at bida pero huwag sanang papasok sa politics. sisirain niyang ang buhay mo at gagamitin ka pa. mag- artista ka na lang.

ano ba pinagusapan nyo, ikaw naman papatalo this time.......buking na ba?

...he should retire while still on top coz I doubt if pipol would still wanna watch him again! ...coz fer crissake he didn't even knock him out!

...no knock out no parade!

Para pasukin ang Pulitika, para ano? Ok lang sa planong pagretiro matagal na rin naman niyang binalik ang Pilipinas sa Map of the World, thanks mate!!!

oo manny mag retire kana , i enjoy mo nalang ung mga pinag hirapan mo kasama family mo.

Ang lalaki kahit huli mo na sa akto hindi pa din aamin. COMMON SENSE.

dpat si gina alajar ngayon ang mag public apology kay krista dahil hindi naman pala totoo na si krista ang dahilan ng paghihiwaly nila ni michael de mesa. si michael ang nagsabi na wlang 3rd party and it was an amicalbe break-up. NAPHIYA KA GINA NOH, PATI MGA ANAK MO PAHIYA RIN. DAPAT IKAW ANG IDEMANDA N KRISTA.at sa kolum ni lolit kamakailan nagkita raw si krista at manny sa LA bago mag valentines day ,hindi naman pala totoo.
talagang ang korte ng bibig ni lolit walang pagkakaiba sa baba puro lang ngyaw ngyaw....duwag naman pag naiipit. itutuloy pa kaya ni gina ang pagdedemanda nya ng d buzz? may maniniwala pa kaya sa kanya.palibhasa walang kumukuha sa kanya kahit contrabida.

Manny should retire na to preserve his health para naman ma enjoy nya ang family nya and success nya. Sayang, I was really looking forward to the Mayweather fight lol. Mabuhay ka, Manny.

you really need to retire manny while your star still shines up there...you're not getting younger and maybe you feel that your strength is not the same as it was,can see it in your last fight.mas mabuting mag resign habang nasa rurok ng tagumpay kaysa hintayin mo pang humalik sa ring.

gusto ko ding magretire na rin si manny while he is at his peak! kaysa naman pag natalo siya tsaka siya magre retire...kaya mas magandang ngayon na at huag mo na labanan si mayweather..considered TALO na siya.

AGAIN, RETIRE WHILE YOU ARE still THE CHAMPION....

Puwede ka nang mag retire Manny kahit hindi mo na labanan si Mayweather ay walang mawawala sau. You earned and acheived more than you wish. Kung tungkol naman sa politics marami ang nagsasabi na huwag mo nang pasukin. Lahat naman tayo may choice at puwedeng rumulong sa kung anong paraan gusto natin. Ngayon kung gusto mong tumulong na sa paraan na pagpasok sa pulitika ay go for it. Malaya mong maisakatuparan ang tulong na nais mo pag ikaw ay isang public servant. Ipagpatuloy mo lang ang iyong mabuting hangarin at sigurado ako na kagaya ng lagi mong panalo sa boksing, sa larangan ng pag serbisyo publiko ay hindi ka rin pababayaan ng Mahal na Panginoon. God Bless you more and your family. God Bless Philippines.

sana magretire na si manny. he deserves to enjoy his life with his family. tsaka kawawa rin si mommy dionesia na palaging stressed tuwing may fight. wala na naman kailangan patunayan si manny.

Manny, mag-retire ka na, makinig ka sa nanay mo. Mahirap ang mdaming pera na may sakit. Spend time na lang with your family and business, wag ka ng mag-politics, magulo at madumi yan.

Mag-retire kana Manny hindi lang sa boxing pati na rin sa politics at showbiz.

wala nang exciting more criminals haha!

sge magretire ka na manny, anyway bilyonaryo ka na naman.. di mo na kayang gastusin yon kahit tumanda ka pa.. saka bukod don kumikita ka pa sa GMA 7... don palang sobra sobra na ang biyaya mo kahit ung kita mo sa GMA 7 ang gastusin mo araw araw di naman yon halos mauubos.. plus mga negosyo mo pa.. invest and spend your money wisely! Sana maging private citizen ka nalang ang enjoy ur life with your family. mahirap sa politics madaming threats. baka manganib pa ang buhay mo!

Sobra-sobra na ang yaman nya kaya kung ako sa kanya habang wala pa syang parkinsons tumigil na sya. It's for his sake pati na rin sa buong family nya no.

Aanhin naman nya ang mega billions kung magulay sya or somethin'.

i think that's a good idea! retire while you're on the top and successful. i think you will earn a lot of respect and the world will recognize you with all your achievements and fame.

I lament the prospect of Manny Pacquiao quitting the sport for good. It is as if a candy will be taken away from Bob Arum's mouth while he enjoys licking it. The goose is about to stop from laying golden eggs so to speak.
Despite getting brickbats from some whom Manny cannot please, he cannot afford to deny those who come to him for help. With the constant flow of blessings,it is not difficult to imagine the hands manipulating Manny's moves. Whether he heeds the advice from his coach and mother, the choice to retire or continue fighting will still be controlled by these unseen hands. I wish Manny's life transformed into a movie. The world's most exciting and well-loved boxer deserves a finely written life story portrayed on screen by the finest actor, supported by the finest co-stars and helmed by the finest director.

Dapat nga talagang makinig si Manny kay Mommy Dionesia at palakihin nang tama ang mga anak nila ni Jinkee. And yung pera niya? Matuto siyang mainvest in something worthwhile, like a new business or whathaveyou. Besides, he's already proven himself before the world and to the Filipino people. Ampangit na if the next fighter na kakalabanin niya, pagong din pala gaya ni Clottey. As for Mayweather, puro dakdak lang at arte siya wala namang binuga.

like jhn No27 said, quit while you're on top. disgraceful na pag nagretire ka as a has-been. Be your own man, avoid politics at wag ka makinig sa mga gaya ni Atienza at Chavit. E-pal lang mga yan. I guarantee, mas lalo ka pang rerespetuhin ng tao if you stand up for yourself.

i hope manny retire already sana sundin na nya ang pakiusap ni nanay dionisia at least angretire sya na nasa kanya parin ang pitong titulo kesa me makakuha ng kahit isa magretire na lang sya habang sya pa ang pinakasikat look yun mga dating tinalo nya na angretire after nya patumbahin sa ring the respect was there but not the same anymore....so sana manny iconsider mo na ang pagreretiro at makinig ka na kay mami dionisia..

goodluck and thank you sa mga karangalan na ibinibigay mo sa ating bansa.

Quit while you're still on top!!!

Pag nagretire ka pala sa boxing sana wag ka ng mag-ambisyon sa Politics kasi wala ka namang alam. mag-aral ka muna ng kolehiyo kung gusto mo talaga tutal bata ka pa naman. Mahirap ang walang alam pagtatawanan ka lang gagamitin ka pa.

Hay Manny mag-retire ka na habnag hawak mo ang 7 titulo. Mas maiging magretire ng may karangalan kaysa talunan.

di ko ma gets why he needs to wear an earring..to make him macho or handsome???

Sige basta ba wag ka lang pumasok sa politika...

I surmise that Manny's retirement from boxing depends largely on the result of his political bid in May election. I hope he is lucky this time around and if he does win, then giving up boxing would be the best option. However, I still doubt about his willingness to hang his gloves up for good. Just like Mayweather who broke his word and returned to the ring, Manny would give boxing another chance if politics turned him down once more. Besides, assuming FM prevails over SM, a possible MP/FM clash carrying the biggest purse on record is history in the making. If Manny is prepared to resist the temptation that his face-off with Mayweather offers, only then I would believe he is a real blessed man.

Haaay gusto ko talagang jumbagin ni Pacman yang si Gayweather! Kaya eh...kayang kaya!

Isa pa! sana si Mayweather na ang kalaban mo, masyadong madaldal at mayabang si Mayweather. Dapat Manny tapalan mo sa suntok yung bunganga ni Mayweather.
