    If an outdoor venue can triple the live gate and he can fight before being locked up then whats the big deal?


    Why is he so dead set on making less money on a date that won't make any financial difference?


    Why does he want to make less money?

    They can charge the higher prices and seat more high rollers at a custom venue.

    They could probably triple or even quadruple the live gate amount. Why would Floyd be against this?

    correct.

    Still doesn't answer why he couldn't take the fight and make a shitload more money.

    Actually, having injury's could be grounds to move back his reporting day.

    Why not make more money?

    Because he is contractually obligated to fight at the MGM and he booked May 5th.

    Floyd is the dumbass who decided to set his own day and place without bothering to run it by the opposing camp before blathering it out.

    Was too dumb to see that a fight like this could be alot bigger than what MGM can hold.
