Comments Thread For: Arum: Pacquiao April Fight Unlikely, Marquez 5 Not in U.S.

[J-Smooth]

It's not about taxes, arum is simply using that as an excuse to the fact that Pacquiao has been suspended from boxing after that brutal KO and that includes sparring. If Pacquiao were to fight in April in the US he wouldn't allow to be sparring in Feb/March.

Sneeky bastard.

Most likely the case.

But he was referring to Pacquiao vs Marquez V, not the tuneup. He was never planning on having Pac vs Marquez in the first half of the year so the suspension is irrelevant.

Manny should quit trying to go after this fight while he still has some kinda sense it seems marquez kills more of it every fight manny really likes sleeping I guess

Then he's just full of Shyt. He's not going to get $15 million or whatever it would be at the gate elsewhere.

40% goes to the government huh? How interesting CONSIDERING ITS NEVER BEEN AN ISSUE BEFORE.

Also. god forbid the government gets paid so it can fund public works and services. The very same services that you, I, and Bob Arum uses.

I don't know, but this was Arums reasoning. It's plausible.

“Mexico City has a very affluent group there,” he said, and mentioned that the government’s possible willingness to subsidize the promotion, to help lure the prized face-off, could play into the decision on where it will land. The leaders in Macau, he said, also might be willing to sweeten the pot to land the bout.

Arum said that ******** money looms large in choosing where to place a mega-bout. UFC in November ran in Macau, in a 6,000-seat venue, and the casinos there did $28 million more in business than on a typical Saturday night, according to Arum. “They want these fights,” he said. “The high rollers ... They’re the ones with the money and the ******** addiction.”

Two casinos in Singapore, Arum said, make more annually than all the casinos in Nevada combined. A fight in Macau, half a day ahead of us, would actually work, Arum said, because the gamblers there don’t care what time it is, so a Pacquiao-Marquez bout could be staged there on a Sunday morning.
