I've actually been wanting this for awhile. Would be so epic. Time zones and all that mess wouldn't be much of a problem either. Why can't they make it happen?! Imagine the GOAT fighting in his home country for his farewell fight, there would be bigger crowds outside than the most hardcore nations during the World Cup. I'd travel to the Philippines for that for sure
Yeah he deserves a final huge fight at home. He has been an incredible figurehead for his country and had a great career.
taxaion issues, purse issues, time zone issues, etc. if a pacquiao fight in manila would be easy to make it would have already happened a long time ago but notice that neither pacquiao nor donaire have fought there in years there are plenty of good reasons for that.
Yeah, this was in times when internet did not had existed. Most powerful and impactful mass media then was : TV and press: journals, newspapers. Ali and Frazier were very well known and popular, don most likely get damn huge sums for rights to broadcast this fight from TV business.
whatever taxation the philippines has. there is a reason they chose vegas for this fight instead of riskin having it abroad
Pac's last fight better be with The Magic Man Paulie Malignaggi who Pac has been ducking for over ten years. After Paulie beat the crap out of Sechenko, Pac has been hiding since.
