    Imagine Ali-mania and then multiply that by about 5 and you have Pacquiao in the Philippines about 5-15 years ago.

    This fight seems like just an infomercial for Top Rank boxing.

    Wow, this is a hell of a lot of over the top hullabaloo for Pac-Horn.

    Pacquiao's speed and combinations will be a BIG problem.

    There are paintings of him hanging in museums and statues of him in public parks. He's worshipped like Ali in the 60s or Tyson in the early 80s. I bet Anthony Joshua gets some of that treatment soon.

    American fans are too spoiled. It won't work here. We see these guys the most.

    It goes without saying that the trainer of Jeff Horn has more than a few skeletons in his closet. I'm sure he and creepy Adam Smith would have a plethora of sordid life stories to tell over a pint or two.

    So Arum matches Pacquiao with a guy that would lose to Algieri.

    I think 50k tickets still only nets about 3-5 million dollars gate. You can get that as a flat fee for fighting at a casino like the MGM Grand plus a 14k ticket gate. Manny was guaranteed 10 million so ESPN and Australian tv must be paying a hefty price.

    The odes to Aussieland are getting too much. And on Canada Day no less.
