Bob Arum says Pac will probably head back to Macau mid-November

[Build That Wall]

Marquez won't fight in Asia.

Ruslan vs Pac

He would only fight Pacquiao in Mexico. He would fight a different fighter in Asia. Just not Pacquiao.

[Hougigo]

Going back to China after the poor US PPV numbers? There must be something that keeps bringing them back, wonder what it is.

Because the evidently comp everything and they want to build Shiming.

They want to build a relationship with them and build Shiming at the same time.

It'll pay of if shiming fights for the vacant IBF

[Ringlife]

Prov vs Pac in November.

[ShoulderRoll]

He's GBP, just sayin

So? Oscar said he was going to try to work together with Arum, didn't he?

This would be a perfect time to do it plus it would save us from the subpar or retread fights that Pac currently has available.

smh @ the thought of Pacquiao vs Alvarado.

They gonna fix it in a year? They going to go right at it?

And they gotta deal with Haymon too with all that beef already?

You were just saying, I was just saying

I'd rather see Marquez vs the Porter/Brook winner

GBP/Zanfer looked like they were heading towards working together.... Marquez wants that fifth belt... totally possible.

IMO, he has a better chance with Pac, a guy he gives trouble to every time than Porter.

[HanzGruber]

Who the hell will fight him. Only person would be ruslan or alvarado. So I guess this means PAC is gonna resign smh

[Holywarrior]

So we'll most likely get Pac vs his sparring partner? Oh boy.

That's what I brought up earlier. Koncz had this to say:

"We love fighting in America and we wouldn't mind going back to Cowboys Stadium [where Pacquiao fought twice in 2010]," he said. "But we're also looking at different venues and countries. Macau was beneficial to everyone involved. In Macau we didn't have such a heavy dependence on the American pay-per-view money. We'd love to fight in Macau again, whether we re-sign with Bob or not."

Naturally anything that greaseball says should be taken with a grain of salt. But Arum couldn't wait to go back to Macau, even after the poor US PPV sales. Maybe they're getting a percentage of the Casino's winnings from fight week? Obviously the financial deal they have overseas makes the PPV figures relatively irrelevant.

IMO if that's the case, they should just broadcast the fight on network TV but that's probably asking for too much.
