    Never liked the idea of him fighting horn. And the explanation (of allowing Australians to see a great fighter versus one of their own) wasn't very satisfying either. But now that, according to koncz, the fight will be held in the United Arab Emirates I no longer see any point whatsoever in them fighting horn.

    Kind of surprised Pac is fighting there considering the well documented plight of filipino workers in the UAE. I guess it's just about the money.

    If I was him I would retire. His legacy is cemented and he made 100s of millions. The only way he could add to his legacy is to be beaten a few times and wrote off as shot and finished to come back and win another title like duran with Barkley, but with his style that's not gonna happen. With his style when he's done he'll stay done.

    He's made 100s of millions but he's blown it all away. His legacy without question is in tact.

    How? Where did all the money go? He's making dozens of millions left and right?? Tyson was an absolute degenerate with his money, made less then PAC and fought infrequently and still took years to go broke.
    PAC made like 150 million 2015&16

    Here come the ESB accountants telling us how much money PAC has. What happened to all the ESB tax advisors who told us Manny was going to jail?

    Horn was never the first pick it seems. Pac went after Garcia, Thurman (apparently), and Crawford. Horn is practically a mando. He is also the highest rated guy in the WBA that Pac hasn't already beaten in 2016.

    Um, he never made 150m, he made 6 million a fight until the Floyd fight, well documented.

    And even then, Floyd confirmed he made less than 40 million.

    And to point at his legacy, he has a decent resume, probably top 120 atg. Nothing more though tbh, he hasn't done nearly enough to warrant breaking 100.

    I guess they're finally making a fight so utterly unexciting that UAE finally actually ponied up for it?
