Pacquiao’s adviser Wakee Salud earlier said it’s not yet time for the Pinoy champ to leave the sport, not without the Mayweather fight.

“As long as Mayweather is there, and they haven’t fought, it will be very tough for Manny to retire,” Salud told The Philippine Star.

Salud explained that there’s just too much money to be made in a fight against Mayweather, and with so much hype and attention the projected bout has generated, it just makes it more attractive.

Pacquiao, who has earned $53 million in his last four fights, including the $12 million he got for beating Joshua Clottey last March 13 in Dallas, stands to earn as much as $50 million if he takes on Mayweather.

“The purse will be huge. How can he retire? And aside from the money, the Mayweather fight is the fight that the people will ask for. Manny is a boxer, he’s a fighter. If he is called to a fight, he will fight Mayweather,” said Salud.

“I don’t think he would simply retire.” With a report from The Philippine Star
