Comments Thread For: Loeffler: Dolan Will 'Do Everything' To Bring Canelo-GGG 3 To MSG

[Alan Smithee]

Athletes who compete in New York have to pay hefty income taxes there off of income derived from the competition (even if they are not residents). That’s even for an NBA player who plays one or two games there in a season. At top-end boxing purse rates, that’s a big chunk of money to hand over just to have it at a certain arena.

Nevada, by contrast, has no state income tax. They still have to pay federal taxes, but nothing more.

So unless this dude has the power to change tax laws in New York, they’d be fools to fight there.

So why did Anthony Joshua fight at MSG instead of Nevada or another " tax friendly" state? There must be more to this! Although I prepare my own taxes, I am not a CPA but there are certainly loopholes that the moneymakers know about!

I seriously doubt if Joshua knew about the differences between tax laws from state to state.

Hearn surely does, but why should he care — it comes out of AJ’s purse, haha. And he stood to make more with Brits flying over from London to NYC, which is closer.

Remember, he was originally fighting Miller, who is a New Yorker. Maybe he would have sold out if that had been the opponent fighting in his own city.

You may be right,lol! A.J probably didn't know what state he was in after the 3rd round anyway,lol!

I would not be too surprised if GBP and canelo make golovkin wait a bit longer for that third fight, especially with all the whining that golovkin is doing nowadays.

IF they decide - and it will be their decision - to go ahead with it in September, my prediction is it's Vegas - again because of all the whining golovkin is doing nowadays!

If you were in Golovkins shoes would you want the fight to be in Vegas?

Of course not but Golovkin has no say in any of this. He'll get what canelo decides, when canelo decides, and the whining he's doing is not a good look and isn't gonna help him.
