Didnt I tell you yesterday that I don't care for anything you have to say?
And btw, Mayweather in 2010 is the dude who went on record saying he didn't need the Pacquiao fight because he wasn't desperate.Last edited by ReIoaded; 09-26-2014, 11:33 PM.Comment

The earning potential is there - for Arum!!! There are 2 reasons they are fighting in Macau. 1. The belief in Manny as a elite fighter to the American public is gone. 2. Fighting in Macau is a huge money grab for Arum and Arum only.Wrong.. Asians will always buy Manny's fights. Plus his style is crowd pleasing to casuals. The "Earning potential" is there with or without Floyd. Contrary to what we may feel, the U.S. is not the only money making market in the world.
And by the way, Chris isn't a big name, but he isn't a nobody.. Chris is a damn good fighter.Comment

Actually HD is blooming in the Phillipines.. go pay a visit and find out. Pac fights are among the highest rated there.. Not to mention the Asian market globally and asians in the U.S. supports Pac. I'm not even much of a Pac fan, just a P.R. from Brooklyn that been involved in the boxing scene since the 80's and I know this shiet. The only fighter I know here in the BK that Asians watch is Pacquiao.. And they are many. Still Mexicans, Blacks and PR's account for most U.S. sales and most Mexican's and PR's will watch Canelo vs Cotto in May UNLESS May vs Pac is on.. True facts.Last edited by jso416; 09-26-2014, 11:42 PM.Comment

Algieri is going to beat Pac.. Afterward Pac will still be a money grab in Macau, just like the Klits are a money grab in Europe.Comment

I disagree. It's a little deeper than your 2 reasons.
Pacquiao did show the potential of the Asian market. That's why Arum was quick to sign and build Zou Shiming. He even asked Roach to train him. Fighting in Macau is an obvious cash grab for Arum but is also an opportunity to capitalize on Shiming and the growing popularity of boxing in China.
Why do you think Pacquiao has opened boxing Academies in China but not in The Philippines, Indonesia, Thailand or Japan which are hotbeds of boxing activity?Comment
