Maryann, let me just tell you that you are an incompetent jackass with a comprehension problem. I clearly stated that STATE INCOME TAXES ARE NOT UNIVERSAL AND THAT THEY VARY FROM STATE TO STATE. Any idiot with half a brain would be able to tell from that statement that I know full well that each state has different income taxes. I am well versed with the U.S tax code, I deal with it for a living. However, I doubt Pacquiao is well versed in U.S State income taxes.
Lance, if you really believe that Pacquaio knows what percentage he paid in taxes from a fight that happened 5 years ago, then be my guest. Most people have very little understanding when it comes to taxes. For example, the state income tax in PA is a flat 3.07%. If you ask the average person who lives here how much they pay in state income taxes, they won't have a clue. Now if the average person doesn't know the percentage that is taken out of their paycheck every week or every other week, I doubt Pacquiao would know how much was taken out of a single paychek that he received several years ago. I could be wrong though.
So let me get this straight, Pacman has been paying a 30% tax on his boxing earnings for all the years he's been fighting in the U.S.? If so, wow.
Although a stadium would be good for the event, the fight is more important than the venue, just put it in Vegas and get on with it!
This content is protected Clearly the best Venue ... 100,000 Seats The stadium is the largest domed stadium in the world, has the world's largest column-free interior, and the largest high definition video screen which hangs from 20 yard line to 20 yard line.
The Problem though is that its in TEXAS. I dont want to go to texas. I want to go to vegas. Hookers and blackjack.
Like a bunch of women some of you.....bitchin' about Manny and Floyd 'alledgedly' rejecting certain venues!! This is a superfight....possible the biggest of the decade....It deserves to be fought somewhere different, not in a stereotypical casino or arena....it needs to be on a grand scale....I know the 'big bucks' will be made by ppv but why not put this fight in a fitting location.......for me Wembley Stadium should hold it.......if not there, then another massive stadium....even an NFL stadium, somewhere that holds more than 20,000 would be better than holding it at the T&M, MGM etc.
