    Arum did that **** as a gimmic to get attention on a fight nobody cared about thats it. Vegas is where big fights happen you idiot thats where the money is. Floyd fought gotti in Atlantic city because thats where the money was. Floyd would fight on the DAMN Moon if he could get paid more there.

    :patsch Blizz...you are such a sheep. You'll repeat ANYTHING you;ve heard or read. You do not need to have fights in Vegas to make money. Maybe you've heard of major fights in NY, Atlantic City, LA, MANILLA, Africa... If it's a big fight, it'll sell anywhere. In VEgas, the big fights have become nothing more then an incentive to give their high rollers. Not real boxing fans.

    the cowboys owner is trying to get the pac-floyd fight into his stadium. floyd and his camp turned the venue immediately even without discussing the offer. that goes to show how floyd is interested in fighting anywhere.

    so you are asking pacquiao to train fully in america again?

    I don't like the fights at Cowboys stadium. It just looks weird and then the environment is a little much. I remember when they tried doing the NBA All Star game there and that wasn't all that great either

    You really dont understand fights in Vegas do you?
    I am not asking Manny to do ****. What I am said is I see their could be logistical problems with Manny training in his native land and the testing issue. Manny can train in the states and Freddy would prefer it. This one fight is worth more and more important than any other fight.

    well the background looks so big and different but imagine a floyd-pacquiao fight and the whole stadium packed with 80,000+ people cheering wildly. also the gigantic screen is awesome.

    Yeah that would be pretty cool actually. After a certain point though, there's just so many people you can get there at the fight because you're just watching 2 guys perform and if you're far away then it kinda sucks

    so pacquiao should train fully in america and pay more taxes just to accomodate floyd's additional testing request? so what else should pacquiao do for floyd to make the fight happen?

    actually there would be some seats in there that you would not even see the boxers physically and you would just enjoy the atmosphere and be part of the event live and just rely on your binoculars or the jumbotron.

    so now pacquiao should follow floyd's pattern and fight once a year? what else should pacquiao do? for you people, should pacquiao always do what floyd does? should he go into long vacations also?

    not only do you want Pac to train where Floyd wants him to train, you also want Floyd to dictate how many fights Manny should have that year? do you want to sacrifice Pac's firstborn to the Mayweather's altar too?

    I am not saying Manny should do anything. Its up to Manny what he is willing to do. Just like its up to Floyd to say he wont fight Manny unless he take the test.
