Manny Pacquiao will return to China for his next fight, taking on Chris Algieri in the gambling enclave of Macao.
The scheduled Nov 22 fight for a piece of the welterweight title held by Pacquiao comes a year after the Filipino headlined the first big fight card there with a win over Brandon Rios. Promoter Bob Arum said Pacquiao will likely fight at least once a year in Macao the rest of his career.
"It's almost like fighting at home so it's a major advantage for Manny," Arum said. "Plus if he fights in Macao he's not subject to US income taxes, which are 39.5 percent."
