Comments Thread For: Arum: Manny Pacquiao May Never Fight in The U.S Again

[Boxing's Truth]

I'm not mad with P a c r o i d on this one. The taxes here in the US are ridiculous. And they're even higher now with the ***** administration. I'd be fighting overseas more if I were a world class famous fighter.

pac is a superstar in asia, you know he is the most world wide known boxer, he should have been doing this earlier, the guy would be huge in china or japan, this is a great move by arum to keep paying pac 30 odd million per fight while being past his prime

the fight only had to do around 600-700k ppv buys in the us the rest will be generated from china

Most of his "fans" abandoned him & are Canelo/Matthysse fans now.

I don't think a substantial amount of people GAF what Pacquiao does
since he was left ass up on the canvas. There were so many broken
dreams. He let down millions by getting KTFO that night.

Pacman ring walk music for his next fight "Cash out"!

Cashing Out

Tax dogers is a misnomer. That's not a nice to say.

The people who are providing you with all this stuff....all these products, goods and services should be rewarded by not having to pay ridiculous amounts of taxes. Remember they are paying society already just by bettering our lives with the gadgets they manufacture. In order to keep going their need to reinvest capital from their earnings. And some of that capital gets wasted on useless Income taxes. Embrace Free Market Capitalism and low taxes (How about a flat income tax of 0%).

Manny and Bob are trying to get as much money as possible. Bob is very much aware that Manny is at the tail end of his career. As for Manny's fans that left and ridiculed him after he lost, they were never true fans. Boxing is a what have you done for me lately sport that is not the kindest to losers. Team sports on the other hand will always have loyal fans.

According to Top Rank's CEO Bob Arum, former eight division world champion Manny Pacquiao may never fight in the United States again - if the upcoming HBO pay-per-view is a smashing financial success for the boxer. Pacquiao's November 23rd clash with Brandon Rios in Macau, China is saving the boxer millions of dollars because he avoid the high United States tax rate.

Ok so he doesn't have to pay 40% but the fight is generating 3x less money? How does that work? Fight only generating 20 million?

[I Love Jesus!]

This is why all the big companies are shipping jobs overseas

These taxes are absurd

This $5 for cell phone or tablet could be the wave of the future

I would just hook up my tablet to my tv

Yes I would to

Pac is a multi-millionaire and has no financial worries! The taxes are to high here in the states but don't forget we cover alot of countries azzes when it comes right down to it! That costs money! The worlds financial status is a disgrace to every common hard working man & woman!
Thats another topic, nothing to do with boxing!!!
Promotion companies don't force anyone to sign, their commision is stated up front and its their money that runs the show! Top Rank did an outstanding job with Pacman and if you knew anything about boxing you would know that. prChamp; However I can tell by your language you know very little about anythng!
