He tried to do what he had to do at the same time and he won at some point in time but later on Pacman realized that he is not getting any younger and should only pick one fight at a time that's why he retired after he lost to Ugas and focused on politics as he is also busy at that time for the presidential election.

Now, that he almost got all the time in the world, and just like what we've speculated, Pacman is not coming back but on an exhibition fight.

With the losses that he's made, that also made him realize that he's aged although he can still really box well. But age does really play a factor for athletes like in boxing.

That's right! But if only Manny Pacquiao wasn't that busy enough in his last fight then I seriously bet that the outcome of the fight would be much different and Yordenis Ugas would be the one who got defeated. Pacquiao was too busy that time he is also a senator while he is also preparing to run for presidency and then he got a fight.

And maybe there are too many things going into the mind of Senator Pacquiao that time, yes, he might have given all his time and focus to train, but the plan was put out of the window when Spence is not available and then Ugas step in as the replacement.

He can still fight but having that thought of doing other priorities will make him less than with the best that he can. Manny can still make a lot of money with his fame and body through his age but I agree just for these showmatches and not with pro anymore.

And what if the crazy mind of the Paul brothers would come to that point that any of them would invite Manny to a showmatch and sure, it will make him a lot of money to be honest. More than probably the usual amount he's getting from his pro matches.

And so if he wanted to make a comeback in pro boxing (not exhibition), Manny should shelve off everything in the table and focus on the fight at hand. But I guess still up to him if he wishes to make a comeback or not. Maybe his family doesn't want him to do so because he is not that young anymore. He can do exhibition just to keep him in fighting, at least he won't get the damage as severe as if he make a pro fight comeback.
