Manny Pacquiao vs Keith Thurman is all set to be a battle between Pacquiao’s experience and Thurman’s youth. The ten-year age difference gives a major edge to Thurman. This is why several boxing pundits had supported his win. However, with time, it seems that the Pacman’s support base is on the rise too, and he has found several backers as well.

Manny Pacquiao vs Keith Thurman: Will The Pacman Retire if he Loses?
Thurman, during his trash talk, said that he is going to ‘retire’ Pacquiao.

Unless he gets that dream rematch with Floyd Mayweather, it looks like Manny Pacquiao vs Keith Thurman will indeed be the Pacman’s final match in case of a loss.
