Who here likes the fact that Pacquiao is going on a world tour?

[tommyg6]

I do because unlike other fighters, by fighting around the world, he's living to the title of "world" champion.

That's something I never liked about Floyd, Ward, Wilder and all these other American fighters, they rarely or ever fight overseas. It's always in Vegas or NYC, or US in general.

I find interesting that Pacman will be fighting in Australia. I never heard of big fights happening there but the fact he's fighting there, makes me intrigued.

Now we're also hearing he might fight in the Middle East, Russia, England, etc.

If I was Arum, this would be my scheduled world tour for Pacquiao.

April 2017 - Pacquiao vs Horn in Brisbane, Australia
June 2017 - Pacquiao vs Burns in Glasgow, Scotland
Sept 2017 - Pacquiao vs Provodnikov in Moscow, Russia
Dec 2017 - Pacquiao vs Khan in Dubai, UAE
Feb 2018 - Pacquiao vs Brook at Wembley Stadium in England!
May 2018 - Pacquiao vs M. Garcia at Azteca Stadium in Mexico
Sept 2018 - Pacquiao vs D. Garcia in Puerto Rico!
Dec 2018 - Pacquiao vs Crawford in USA (final stop)

I like it.

PAC will fight in Mexico. I'm sure many Mexican boxers eager to get a crack on PAC.

great way to end a legendary career. .but you gotta have Crawford in there.

[BM dnobagaV]

I would honestly be cool with him fighting hometown fighters as his swan songs.

Nah, Provodnikov is shot. The rest sound great. If only, Brook at Wembley....

[Scary_canary]

Only if he comes to Aus lol

This iss why PAC to me is a true champion.
But isn't he retiring?

[alexguiness]

I like the concept to be honest.

As long as the opponents are solid.

It neutralizes some of the 'hometown' fighter advantages - something Floyd used to the extreme.

The true legend of the sport.

I like the idea but I doubt Manny fights as often as you think. I'd be surprised if he gets in more than the usual 2 fight a year.

Now, I have no problem with him fighting someone like Horn (some what ranked) if he fights more often, 4 times a year I guess and two of those 4 fights are against worthy opponents, say Brook or TC.

It would be awesome for him to fight in the 02 in the UK.

Any top fighter fighting 4 times a year would be awesome but u don't see it happening. Lucky to get 2 these days.
