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

Dude you've been on here flaming on the guy for years although he's never done or said anything to provoke it from you. Listen man the guy with one fight has paid more in taxes to the U.S. than you or I will pay in our entire lifetime.

Finally you're making some sense. I agree with this.

You do realize a ton of the money they use to establish their business and have credit lines is amassed by poor joes who shove their life savings into citibanks and chase etc

Actually...you're wrong. THey don't owe them anything as of right now...since all of the depositors are insured by FDIC (which I disagree with). I think the FDIC should be gotten rid of and everyone should look into the banks first before putting their money and trust into them.

Maybe cause they finally have a credible alternative. You remember Bob's been talking about Macau for years, and it became a joke, like Dubai? Well things finally snapped in place, and the numbers tell the story. Chess, not checkers.

As if bobby is looking out for pacs best interests, if so he would have done this long ago.

There ya go, you gotta go back to the biggest stars of the sport for comparison, and even beats those. And Shiming has nowhere near the fighting potential of those guys, but his marketing potential could be ******ed. Arum is a lot of things, but it's no accident he's been around the top of the heap for this long.

Most of the fighters that are gold medalist. Their purses are high. Nothing new about it.

No I think this thread has fizzled out. And it's largely about economics (i.e. taxes) since the thread title was about taxes....which is why I stepped in.

I don't think we can spin this one into a conversation about catchweights, random tests etc,.


P.S. I noticed that you didn't respond to my reply to your previous comment about "tax dodgers" (click here)

Arum cares about himself, but probably has a soft spot for Pac for several reasons. For one, his simple minded loyalty (minus the cash suitcase).

As for Macau, this is not checkers, you gotta think your moves through well in advance. For example, waiting for a hyped up 2x Chinese gold medalist to help launch the enterprise, that's what's kept Arum top ranked for longer than Golden Boy is alive.

Most? There's a bunch of gold medalists coming out every 4 years, and you had to go back to the 2 biggest stars the sport has ever had. And 31yr old windmill Shiming beat even their record numbers.

Funny how many non pacquaio fans have an opinion like they've bought a ppv or have attended one of his fights. The man earns between 20 and 28 million a fight..he's free to do as he pleases. He's contributed a hell of a lot more to the IRS than many other athletes who live here do. People are still going to watch no matter where he fights oh and for the record Asia has a hell of a lot more people than we do...Travolta has bought himself planes from just doing commercials there for 30 years..so has Schwarzenneger and many other celebrities. America is a great place to become a star but it's not the only viable place to earn a living from.

He has also benefit a lot from the USA.

if it was me id have left top rank a long time ago, he is a big enough name to go on his own. but i guess its up to him at the end of the day.
