Pacquiao-Hatton.............in Dubai?

[ИATAS]

The Las Vegas Review Journal has reported that the proposed May superfight between Manny Pacquiao and Ricky Hatton could end up in Duabi, United Arab Emirates. Pacquiao’s promoter Bob Arum recently visited the region, which he described as “Fantasyland. Huge, new, spectacular buildings everywhere.” Arum added that the city has a large Filipino population and strong UK tourism.

That place is certainly in between England and The Philippines.

As long as they show it at a decent time for us here in the states, i can care less if they held it in the jungles of Cambodia.

Dubai? WTF?? I'm so against that. They should have it here in SF. What's wrong with that? There's hella Flips out this way...and SFO is right there for the Brits to invade. I proposed SF.

That would be crazy. They'd probably recreate the Rome Coliseum in the middle of the ocean or something.

The way I understand Dubai is... its filled with VERY wealthy people from all over the world (in either oil or software). I also think it has the reputation of being very Western-friendly for outsiders, but not for UAE citizens.

The fight should be held in Derby at the Pakistani Community Centre.

yeah their buildings are amazing. I kinda like the idea of big boxing being there as it only makes the sport bigger.

Yeah, why not. Do something different for a change. Dubai sounds good to me.
