Pacquiao possibly to retire after Clottey

Good god, we're not gonna start another blood testing thread are we?

Some people, believe one side.............Some people, believe the other side.

NO PEOPLE ARE GOING TO CHANGE THEIR VIEWS!!

So let's get back to my question.

I understand he is considered a bit of a joke politically and lost pretty bad last time, BUT what if he wins the election? It seems that boxing fans are writing this off as a foregone conclusion he's going to lose. Someone's got to win and in politics anything can happen.

Honestly, I am not interested about the result of his elections, what matters to me is his boxing skills and what he can achieve on the ring. If he drops the floyd's fight for a matter of blood test, what I think is quite clear, no matter what: Legacy stained, though I wouldn't accuse him automatically of enhancing drug use.

My interest in the election results is how it relates to his boxing though. Say he does win, what does that do to the possibility to a fight with Mayweather?

Does it make it impossible in the short term? Does it eliminate the opportunity for the duration of his term in office?

+++++++++++

It is reported here that he has a better chance of winning this year. If he wins, he will have to be sworn in sometime in July. No one in the press, to my knowledge, has addressed the issue if he can still box and be able to stay in Congress. My gut feeling is that Congress would give him a leave to make this mega fight.
