The fighting Senator of the Philippines Manny Pacquiao announced that he is fighting this coming June 24 at Malaysia. The possible opponent is Lucas Matthysse the current WBA light welterweight champion.

For those of you who is not familiar with Lucas Matthysse below is his Boxing Record

Total fights - 44
Wins - 39
Wins by KO - 36
Losses - 4
No contests - 1

What we know so far is Freddie Roach has not committed himself yet to train Manny for this fight. Bob Arum is the the promoter for this fight, it will be De la Joya's Golden Boy Promotions and Manny's MP Promotion.

Earlier it known that Manny was asked to be an under card for Jeff Horns fight but Manny rejected the offer. There were also rumors that Manny can't fight in the US like in Las Vegas because he has issues with the IRS "again".

I wonder what Manny is trying to accomplish. You have made a good run in the world of boxing, you are loved in your country and even a representative of your people if played well, he could lead the country one day and want to still go out and embarrass himself in front of the whole world watching. I love Manny and would want him to win but losing this game would do more harm to his reputation than the hit it has take from his match with Mayweather. The only option is that he just must win.

Are there any options? In each fight no matter what would be the sport is, the important thing is to win and that's the mindset of most athlete that's why they do really compete with others.Just the thing you have said on here Manny already proven himself to the world and in my view hes already old to continue to his career in the world of boxing.If he still fights then its his personal reason but we can already see that he had everything. Money & reputation but he still decide to fight but though its his own choice for the supporters of Pacquiao then we would really like for him to win and then stop completely on boxing.

Pacquiao era is already over not just like before that when he had a fight the hype is too high and you can feel the intense but now when there's an upcoming fight the excitement is already gone.The world already saw on his past performances and the eagerness on fighting had already been gone which is quiet understandable because of his new line of duty into his own country which will really lead into dis alignment or not too much focus.No matter what would be the result it is already non-exciting.
