\nManny Pacquiao\u2019s time as a fighter has come to an end. Pacquiao has been one of the greatest boxers on the planet ever since the 1990s, but like all great journeys, he\u2019s met his end. \u201cTo the greatest fans and the greatest sport in the world, thank you! Thank you for all the wonderful memories. This is the hardest decision I\u2019ve ever made, but I\u2019m at peace with it. Chase your dreams, work hard, and watch what happens. Good bye boxing,\u201d Pacquiao wrote on Twitter announcing his retirement decision. You can watch his entire retirement video below. I\u2019m not even a huge boxing fan, but this one hits hard. The Mayweather\/Pacquiao fight when I was in college was the first time I really started to get interested in boxing. I\u2019m sure all the boxing diehard fans are rolling their eyes at that comment but it\u2019s true. I had never carried about boxing prior to that bout, but Pacquiao simply transcended the sport. He was an international icon and a politician in the Philippines. Now, at the age of 42, he\u2019s hung up his gloves for good. He retires with the kind of athletic career most people could only ever dream about. He also earned a decent amount of money along the way. He earned at least $120 million from his fight against Mayweather, according to Bleacher Report. So, he\u2019s definitely not hurting for money! Hopefully, he enjoys retirement. He\u2019s certainly earned it!<\/p>\n
