Manny Pacquiao was in Russia at the weekend in a big boxing event and this shows how the sport continues to expand all the time.
To bring a big name like Pacquiao to an event in the East further evidence of such.
Boxing in America is doing great and did big numbers only on July 4th for a modest size event even.
But worldwide the sport is doing great as well which is also a great thing for the sweet science in the US.
As more international match ups between US fighters can be made overseas as well as bringing more overseas fighters to the US to fight.
It works great.
Every weekend and even during the week now there are great fights happening in professional boxing all around the world.
That is what spectators wanted all along from boxing as a sport and they have finally been delivered that now.
Pacquiao was at the Murat Gassiev fight at the weekend in Moscow and was coy about his next fight.
He was tight lipped on it and would not give any hints on who it would be against.
He said to wait for his next fight but expect news soon on it in terms of who he will try to fight.
It does not look like it will be against Floyd Mayweather next up, certainly.
It could be someone like Liam Paro or someone else however.
Eight-division champion Pacquiao still has his own boxing promotional company as well which has been putting on events all over the world.
In the East and the West.
He has been putting on some boxing events on ESPN even in the US in recent times which although small events, have been picked up by the network.
Let’s see who Pacquiao tries to fight soon.
