    Arum said he got an offer from Qatar that's "way bigger" than the guaranteed $25 million offered by Jerry Jones last December to host the Pacquiao-Floyd fight.

    The fight will still be held in the US (not in Qatar).

    Yah not understanding this one so much. So they (qatar) want to put up the money for the pac/pmf fight in vegas far in excess of the 25million jery jones offere for the dallas stadium.

    They dont want ppv money, they are only interested in the gate? Makes no sense to me

    What? The fight is in Qatar now? Horrible place for a fight. What about Vegas?

    Floyd is more concern with his guaranteed take home money. He might have a little say about the venue if it's not in his hometown Vegas.

    No they still want it in the states..at a casino where they can bring in asian gamblers, they want the gate and likely some kind of gambling cut/deal with casinos. But being paid by Abu Dhabi, its all just unusual. Arum said it was way bigger than the 25 mil offered by jones, lets guess 40 million right there.

    Virtually no one knows when to take me seriously. But then again, I don't know when to take them seriously either. Fair play.

    What is the time difference between Qatar and Vegas and what likely effect would that have on PPV sales?

    Did you know that Abu Dhabi (Qatar) bailed out Dubai from its money problems just recently?
