    This fight needs to be in Cowboys Stadium. There would be about 150,000 people there, including me! Also, there would need to be an action packed undercard. Lopez-Gamboa, Pavlik-Williams, and then Pacquiao-Mayweather. This would be the greatest event to ever happen in the world!

    NASCAR will also be in town on that date. Along with the Mountain West Championship (college basketball). It will be a crazy weekend.

    room rates are going to skyrocket that weekend. But the hookers will be out in full force.

    And then you wake up all sweaty and ****... :rofl

    But seriously, if Pacquiao-Mayweather happens. They will ask for a premium price and reward the fans with a shitty undercard. You can bet your house on it. That's just how GBP and Top Rank do business.

    Why not schedule jmm vs. hatton on the undercard. There are alot of hispanics in texas and that would pack the stadium up that much more

    Yea, It's a fantasy dream no way that will happen. Instead, we will get an exciting Foreman-Chavez fight as one of the undercards.

    30,000? whats the ****ing point? A 50,000 minimum stadium needs to be built if Vegas wants to keep hosting the big fights....in all seriousness a Brit fighting in Vegas is like a step backwards, look at Hatton or Calzaghe and soon Haye and Froch, they can fight in Britain infront of 50,000 (Froch and Haye havent yet, but over 30,000) or they can go to Vegas and fight infront of tiny crowds, Americans like to call themselves the home of boxing...well there house is pretty ****.

    no foreigner is going to fight in the UK or Europe for that matter. You guys have the shadiest refs and the shadiest judges in the world.

    Vegas is the fight capital of the world. And it will always be so. BUT, this fight is bigger than Las Vegas itself and only the Dallas Stadium is modern enough to hold such a fight.

    Brits don't need to fight in the US. they all suck. Ask Bisping and Ricky Hatton. Keep your overrated Frochs and Calslappys.
