Pacquiao’s earning power in the US against anyone besides Mayweather isn’t what it use to be. Hard from Top Rank to make a hefty profit because of that. That is why Manny has fought in China so often.
Now, Arum wants to send him over to Dubai with the IG Models.
“I just had a delegation in from Dubai trying to talk to me about a Manny Pacquiao fight some time early next year in Dubai,” Arum told the Telegraph. “That would be interesting.”
“One of the name they suggested as an opponent is Amir Khan,” Arum said. “That would be a possibility. We’ll have to see. I would think that Manny, if everything goes right with the surgery, would look to be back in early 2016, maybe in Dubai. I don’t want to rush him.
“Apparently there’s great interest from Dubai in doing big-time boxing there. With the Emirate airline making regular flights from the UK to Dubai, it’s a great place for British fans to watch a fight.”
I love the way Pacquiao has no say in this when he is supposed to the boss not Arum.
