it would be nice if Pacman and Chris John in Manila this june, than Pacman and Larios.

Definitely much much better......a legitimate belt at 126.

i dont think John would do that, hehe! he won't risk his title on Pacman's own backyard like Kotsya Tszyu.

or maybe since Indonesia is just near to the Philippines, I'm sure indonesian fans will sail to the Philippines. heheh!

pac isnt fighting any no namers from now on coz there wouldnt be any money in it. larios would always be a good choice since he'll bring in the latin market and the fact that the fight would be held in the phils, that would surely help.

as of yesterday john is no longer a no name IMO he beat marquez

yup, john has a legitimate belt and I would love the fight to happen soon, but I don't think Pac can get his 1 million dollars fighting john in manila without hbo backing ...

I partially agree with you, but have to add that john has to fight in America to get his name, just like PAC, In-jin Chi et al...

but he wont be like pac when he first came to the states

yup, no where near, PAC was never heard of in the states before he landed in america ...

john's name is already heard as fw regular Champ and now have more noice by beating jmm ... but he needs to fight in america to gain acceptance or will be forever accused of bein a protected champ by avoiding to fight outside his country...
