    If the promoters insists on having it in Vegas then make it at the Sam Boyd Stadium

    I'd like to see the interview or even read one that quotes "Manny Pac personally rejects staples centre"

    Arum has been trumpeting Dallas, I would dare say Top Rank and GBP will be the ones making decisions on the site.

    Floyd already said he doesn't want an outdoor site.

    please, not that magical dump. LA has more blacks than the all the pinoys in the US. and look how amateurish the refs are (see Timothy Bradley/Nate Campbell fight) No way Jose!!

    Love to see it at one of the all time favorite Boxing Places.

    Madison Square Garden.

    They could do a whole

    This is were
    Such fighters as
    Ali
    Frazier
    Louis
    Marciano
    Ray Robinson
    Marvin Hagler
    Roberto Duran
    Etc have all Graced this very Arena blah blah blah

    Now for the biggest fight most will ever witness in there lifetime.

    At the Garden would be just Perfect.

    NEW ORLEANS SUPERDOME PLEASE!!

    It would be right around Mardi Gras too. Think of the added publicity for having it in NO. It helps the sport. It helps the city. It makes a lot of money. And it is unique. This fight should not be in Las Vegas, although I'm sure it will be thanks to all the back-handed dealings over the years. These promoters owe Vegas, and Vegas knows it.

    Except for the taxes. That's also the reason why LA is not a viable option.
     
  13. It'll be at the MGM Grand...unfortunately.

    A lot of people would have a hard time watching the fight. It would end up looking like 2 ants on top of a slice of bread.

    why is that unfortunate? i think this fight could only take place on the strip

    i wish they still fought outdoors in that caesars parking lot setup like for hagler-leonard and hagler-hearns
