What ever happened to that?
I even remember a poster saying "Macau makes Las Vegas look like a mom and pops shop".
Its only a matter of time before Macau becomes the Mecca for boxing. People might say thats crazy but there was a time when people said Las Vegas would always be the worldwide king of gambling but now Macau makes Vegas look like a mom and pop shop.
International fighters are natually tougher than American fighters as well because its normal for them to travel all around the world to fight. When the last time these so called "Top P4P fighters" like Floyd, Ward and Bradley fought outside of America? Not only do they have every benefit homefield advantage offers but they get countless gift decisions.
This isn't like back in the day when Ali fought in the UK, Africa and Phillipines and won those fights fair and square
Its called being a businessman
America is bankrupt and the dollar is losing its value everyday so if your a international fighter and can fight in Macau and pay zero taxes or fight in Vegas and pay 40%, which one are you gonna take?
Pacquiao was just smart enough to see the future and paved the way for future fighters
Lmaooooo yup I remember.
But, you need to go back and look at boxing twitter during that time to show the real effect. Oh the shills & thier fake accounts were out heavvvvvyyyyy! Most those fake accounts from then are gone now unfourtunatly but we have our memories...or screen caps.
