MANILA, Philippines -- Boxing superstar and Sarangi Rep. Manny Pacquiao is considering retiring from boxing next year.

Pacquiao said his upcoming bout with undefeated American boxer Timothy Bradley Jr. on June 9 at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas may be his last fight.

This also means that his much-awaited dream fight with American Floyd Mayweather Jr. may never happen.

Pacquiao explained it may not look good to be seen fighting in the boxing ring now that he has accepted the Church's offer to become a Bible ambassador.

He said he may just focus on his political plans and reading the Bible.

Last month, Pacquiao disclosed during a one-on-one interview with Dyan Castillejo that he has renewed his faith and has turned his back on vices, including womanizing, ******** and drinking.

Arum decides when Pac retires and it's definitely not next year.

[-PBP-]

So this is their strategy to increase ppv buys for the Bradley fight.

It wouldn't matter much to me if he retired. Other than the Cotto fight he hasn't done much of anything since the 2008 fight with Marquez 2.

pac retirement fight will be in november 2013. like arum said, 1 fight done, 4 to go.
june bradley
november marquez
may 2013 ? (floyd 1?)
nov 2013 floyd 2
floyd fights i think will happen....there's just too much money involved, and arum will melt down.
