    I thought mexico city was pretty safe just the area up north near the border was a war zone.
    It would be a huge event if this actually happened, its impossible to reject.

    A man this wealthy and this accomplished no longer thinks about making money, a mil here and mill there...nah, he starts thinking about legacy, about returning to the people the wealth he has made, like bill gates or the chairman of bershire hathaway...it would be a memorable event in mexico's cultural history, give the tickets away free via lottery.

    Wow how true is this story? and to those thinking this is BS because of the venue and people offering. You don't know **** bout making money!:yep

    That $65 mil would double or perhaps triple for those dudes. A fight of this magnitude brings in more $$$, and brings all the richest people around the world who gambles millions of $

    there already is a interview with arum on the scene, he seems interested and is going to make some calls tomorrow.
    Whatever you might think about the two boxers these kind of mega events would be good for boxing in general, especially with their styles it wont be boring unless canelo pulls a mosley.

    are you kidding me?

    dude, pac's fans better carry kidnapper's insurance. they'd be fools to wear pinoy colors in Mexico.

    They will NOT be treated well there.

    but who cares, Pac needs to beat Canelo. erase all doubt that pacdoesn't fight guys in their prime.

    yeah, and I think with 65 mil...that's a lot of money...Pac's is gonna have to earn it and Slim may put in some demands on weight and ring size besides venue to even up the scale and make the fight more competitive

    I don't think it is a safe place for Pacquiao and anyone supporting him.

    The kid is what 20 or 21...how can a guy who's developed into a draw, has won a major championship, and clearly/obviously has legitimate talent and ability at the age of 21 be "overhyped"? He's far advanced for his age, he has a distinct look, he can obviously fight, not sure what the problem is with the kid...not saying he'll end his career 100-0 but he's a really good fighter, and there's no limit to what he "could become". Who's to say what his ceiling is, or what he's capable of? Silly assessment, no disrespect, but I absolutely disagree.

    look, he's gonna get paid a hefty sum to fight pac.

    anyone who says they aren't ready for pac should just excuse themselves and retire.
