Should PAC train in the Philippines again if the Floyd fight hapepns?

[Benny Leonard]

Maybe he needs to start eating Filipino food, so he can gather some b*lls. So he can start punching like the PACMAN

No, just hire Ariza.

Who does Floyd have anyway, Big L.E.?

Floyd should do something...he isn't exactly like he used to be below 147.

Really, how do you figure?




Pac should do what Freddie suggests.

How would I know, because the new tax laws regarding foreign athletes, was the whole reason PAC had to train overseas, duh

[BOX-A-LOT]

Yes! And have the fight in Manila.

It would never happen in Manila, not for a fight of this magnitude. It happened in the 70's, but this is a different time.

[Benny Leonard]

That's why I suggested it.

Money or the Food part?

It could be as simple as putting a heavy laxative in his food.




In the end, it should be left to Freddie but with Pac's suggestion in mind because he has to be happy too.

It's going to be a Vegas fight unless they think they can gets some heavy Gold going to Cowboys Stadium or some other Stadium which can be held outside if it is in May or June...especially in say California.

I'm a little confused on the topic. Is it because he can't spend 8-12 weeks here at a time or is it because of the accumulative amount of times he spends here...like 3-4 fights x 8+ weeks each time out = a limit of how many weeks/months you can spend here without paying taxes...plus just chilling in his Cali home. 2010 is a new year.

Probably NYC or Cowboys Stadium. Floyd needs to have a big fight that's not in his hometown.

NYC is out...Arum said the taxes are to much.

Floyd's hometown is Grand Rapids, Michigan...but his residence is Vegas.

Hometown to me is still where you were born and raised more then where you live now because of work. Sure, can't see Floyd going back to Detroit but...he moved to Vegas for boxing...kind of like an actor that moves to N.Y. or L.A. to be on stage and get some movie roles.

Vegas is where the money is at which is why big fights are held there.

If they can make more money somewhere else, sure...it would be a great idea to hold it somewhere else.

It's not like Pac at this point isn't a Big Name anymore in the States where he can't get a fair shake. Both are known fighters and Pac has Arum if you want to talk about influence.

Even Oscar lost to Tito in Vegas.
