    I am dissapointed for boxing in general to be honest. The super fight of the decade would of been a good indicator that fans are more important than personal pay cheques.

    I wonder if Vegas gets tired from seeing all the fights there.

    Most important to me - that fight takes place. Where, don't matter to me.

    Hopefully I'm lookin' forward for a real BOXER, Manny Pacquiao, beatin' the **** out of a Hopkins-lookalike such as Gayweather is to me.
    All of those "runaway-sometimes-jump-in-with-a-heumacher-or-else-just-duckaway-way-too-deep-and-clinch-their-opp's-punches-to-death" boxer-non-boxers, such as, Hopkins, ADS-Gayweather, their nowadays imitations Dirrell and Ward, and as I had to witness HW Kevin Johnson, just **** me off.
    None of those guys, most seemingliy, is coming to fight, but to duck away and SCORE.
    But they mostly don't score enough, but get carried through by Ref oder Judges, that score their "sclickness". BULL****!

    Wherever that fight takes place, I'm down with Manny...

    Cheers...

    Staples and MSG where NEVER in the running because of INCOME TAX. The only chance was for Staples to offer a high fee to counter the income tax but with the purse and PPV revenue, Staples just can't offer enough. MSG is in the same boat but is a smaller venue, thus harder to offer a bigger purse than Staples.

    Vegas is definetly the best choice for boxing. Vegas is where all the major fights go down and this should be no different. Plus Dallas would be boring as hell to go to as fan, Vegas is party time 24/7....way better experience for out of towners than Dallas, Atlanta or New Orleans.

    Dallas would have been the logical choice:deal it seats a hundred thousand people, the mgm only 16 thousand...

    Dumb ****s, i can't believe this bull****..
    I live in Vegas and even thought Dalls was better..
