    Sounds nice and romanticized but in reality it would be an unmanageable mess.

    There's already arena and stadium. There's Clark City a former U.S. air base now it's a city with it's own airport, sports facilities and soon to come shopping and entertainment.

    If it was possible it would have been done a long time ago. Thing is boxing, at least on the business side of things, isnt as huge in our country as it did back in elorde's era. Ali-frazier was possible back then because it was sponsored by the Marcos regime as a distraction from the martial law and as a publicity stunt.

    But then again we're talking about pac. Maybe our government can move mountains to make it possible

    Wait a minute... is that the Clark that's outside of Angeles City? I was hoping it'd be way closer to Manila. At least they'll have a giant red light district available for fans waiting to get in the stadium. Or did they change that too?

    Yeah would be cool.. Filipino broads are pretty good looking too so they could use them for ring card girls instead of the usual Tecate hoes or whatever

    Thanks for your input.

    Were / are there talks about this a lot within the country? I mean... If a person likes me thought about it Im sure millions there have also.

    How difficult could it possibly be to host an event? You guys have a population in 9 figures, even if poverty is a big deal there, there absolutely should be 0 problem selling out a 60k crowd

    Yeah, Manila is shyte. Clark City is new and it's 5 min from the airport there will be trains and transport going there.If you plan to stay in Manila if you like traffic and chaos then stay in manila if you want tranquil and serenity stay in clark and like you said play golf or like you said angeles city.
