    Floyd sais he wants to fight in England....know idea why he brown-noses the UK fans so much if he doesnt actually ever intend to fight here, its not like many are willing to fly stateside from the UK to see him fight. Vegas is bull****, a fight this big should be held somewhere where you can get 50k minimum....not sure of the stadium names in the US but if it has to be of Floyds soil then preferably somewhere huge.

    What capacity is that? I spose they can sell tickets there for lots of money on regular big fights, but something like this sells big money tickets at stadium level as well id imagine. Do you think there is/will be a bidding War going on for this or does arum/mayweather only deal with a select number of arenas?

    Word on the block that Bob Arum wants to do it at the new Cowboys Stadium. Man that'll be nice...Vegas is the obvious venue, but they don't have any auditoriums big enough. I understand 16,000+ is a lot, but come on...

    That would be crazy! But I feel the fight needs to be in the west coast due to both fighters being based out of Las Vegas and California.

    .....more to the point, why the **** does Vegas not have a huge indoor stadium? or an outdoor stadium with a roof that closes like the Millenium Stadium over here? Surely has the self-proclaimed 'home of boxing' it should at least be able to create a decent crowd. Would the rumble in the jungle be as well known had it had been in Vegas? Probably not, the odd mega-fight should be held somewhere different to create a world interest....it seems UFC are much happier to take there main events abroad, trying to get a foothold and if Im honest...its working, all my friends are now on the UFC train.

    Plus I reckon Pacquiao's popularity here will have sky rocketed.

    Been talking about his performance non stop on radio since Sunday morning.
