Bad choice. A fight in macau is dangerous for Pacquiao as he has shown a propensity for both losing focus and partying his money away. This will be extra dangerous if it makes him look past potentioal opponents Edwin Valero or Joan Guzman, both legitiimate threats in that division. IF he does fight in Macau via Arum I hope he has the sense to train in USA.
With Golden Boy there would be more, better paying fights in the UA. I know fighting at home must be awesome, but from what I understand Pacquiao needs as much money as he can get since so much is being swindled from him.

I disagree with the pacman on this. I would have honored the GBP contract because GBP is on the way up and DLH knows what boxer's concerns being a boxer himself unlike TR which I think is losing the business to GBP. Arum has nothing solid for the Pacman while GBP can offer the stars and bucks. Arum offers Valero, he needs to solidify his career first before he takes the Pacman on cause if he takes the Pacman today its going to be a mismatch, while GBP can offer Barrera, Guzman, Marquez, etc....
