It's a great idea. Gives people from other countries the chance to see a legend fight live. He's the only active living legend the sport has.

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

Great concept, but Horn is simply not a worthy adversary. I guess Horn @147, Burns @140 (if he beats Indongo), and Khan/Brook at Wembley/O2 wouldn't be too bad of a year. But, we know Pac isn't gonna fight three times because he hasn't done so since 2008.

The Horn fight sucks but Manny is 38 and at the end of a legendary career, he really can fight whoever he wants, most guys in his position fight cans anyway, the difference is Manny can still compete with the best of them hence why he might catch some flak. Tyson at this stage was fighting Danny Williams and Kevin McBride.

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)

Seems to me it's just talk by Arum to justify the Horn fight. He'll fight 2 times per year again and the next one after this will likely be back in the US. I think Arum genuinely wants Pac-Crawford for the second half of 2017, he just decided to get one last cash grab out of Pacquiao before he takes a fight he has a serious chance of losing.

pacquiao wouldstill be in vegas if the fights wouldn't flop. you need to take this bob arum circus act on the road to fill up the tend.
this fight and the end of pacquiao's career is a sham, and i am not going to pay to watch it.
