    Could Pacquiao vs Horn sell out the T-Mobile arena like Canelo-Chavez Jr?

    I know Bob was a huge advocate for that particular stadium to host boxing events.

    If Pac/Horn could sell in the US, it would be staged in the US. That's it in Australia tells you Bob knows this fight would not draw in the US.

      At the same price? Probably not. Not vs Horn at least.

        Why not? it's not often you get to see the Pacman box in Australia, if I was there I'd be going for sure

          If the tickets were like 20 bucks for floor seats. 5 for nosebleeds

              Pacquiao-Bradley 3 didn't even come close to packing in MGM Grand's 16k seats; what in the heck makes you think that they could pack a 20k-seat venue with a ****tier matchup

                Pacquiao is fighting in places like Australia because good crowds there will go see him because it's a novelty there to get a huge name like that fighting. They know he's barely a draw in USA anymore unless he had a really good dance partner. His stock is pretty low now so they can make money in places like Australia. Wouldn't surprise me if he did fight in the UK too, i think the fans here would definitely come out to watch Manny if it was against a decent British fighter.
