Mayweather Pacquiao has to happen in Dallas.

I agree. It makes all the sense in the world to feature this mega fight in the newly built mega stadium. It would be an event. It would get the attention of the world Don't just do the same ole Vegas thing with 15,000 fans. Try to pack in 100,000+ fans by stacking the undercard with Mexicans. Put in Valero, Diaz, etc.

 

Vietnam.

I'm sure many of you already read this article. But it just shows how Jerry Jones (owner of Cowboys) is dedicated. And the reason why Schaefer declined the meeting with Jones was because he felt that it was too early in this stage to discuss a venue because the fight hadn't been signed yet. It's not because PBF doesn't want to fight there.

 

I'm from Vegas and I know we are all hurting like a lot of places but Dallas with 100k seating will be Epic. Why don't you include a poll? And forward the link as a petition.

 

It has to be Vegas!! fight week is very important lots of shiznit to do , wtf are u going to do in Dallas the week leading up to the fight? drive around Dallas? go to the mall? Has to be Vegas

 

atsch Who gives a fu*k about what you do leading up to the fight. Isn't the fight more important?

 

I don't think its going to be in dallas....the texas comission will be involved.....no top class fighter wants to **** with texas...

chavez-whitaker ring a bell....paulie ayala, diaz-malignaggi 1....nobody wants to **** with the texas comission....

 

I would love to see a big fight in a big arena.

But ultimately it comes down to money, and Vegas casinos will pay the largest site fee, so that's where it'll go.

 

You do know Jones offered a site fee of $25 million right?

 

i'm from vegas and I also think it needs to happen in Cowboy Stadium. Home of AMERICA'S TEAM.

I'd also have a decent chance to score tickets in Cowboy stadium compared to the non existent chances I would get if it were in Vegas.

Pacquiao is the people's champ and the people should have a chance to watch him fight live.

 

Oh no, a multi-million dollar casino won't match that.........atsch

 

The stadium looks pretty unimpressive to be honest. The huge screens don't really do it for me - and it certainly doesn't do it for the people who are sitting to the far sides of the stadium - because if I have to keep looking at the big screen, I might as well watch it at home if I can't see the action in the ring with my own eyes.

If anything, the stadium is actually too big. The MGM grand has raised seating relatively close to the ring, and even in the cheap hundred+ dollar seats you can still see the ring. The rings side seats for the Dallas stadium would stretch all the way to the stands, which be so far away from the ring it would be ridiculous.

The atmosphere would be great with so many people, but i'm not sure it can be as intense as the MGM's.

 

The MGM Grand might match or surpass it. I expect it to, although I hope I'm wrong and we get something away from the norm.

I know Arum was talking about how he expects the bids from the competitors to increase to around $30 million.
