Why don't they hold many outdoor boxing matches anymore?

Carson, CA venue is outdoors and frequently hosts quality cards.

Wladimir vs. Haye, unfortunately one of the "bigger" fights of the era, was outdoors with rain and wind.

 

Indoor arenas offer higher site fees. You also don't want the weather to impact the fight. A rainy day could push back the fight or make it a miserable experience for the fans. If it's too hot, it could affect the fighters.

 

Pacquiao vs. Clottey, baby!

They sooooooo opened that roof for the 12th and final!

 

I'm pretty sure every boxing match that's ever happened in Thailand is outdoors...

 

Agreed.

I thought Pac fighting at the Cowboy stadium twice in 2010 would be the start of more big outdoor fights but unfortunately the money the casinos pay upfront for the fights is more then other arenas can compete with.

 

Don't lose hope, bob arum has been working on a outdoor stadium for PAC vs mayweather for the past 4 years.

We all are just waiting for the completion date

 

Martinez-Murray was in an outdoor soccer stadium in Buenos Aires. The rain that night was a real problem for Sergio too, along with Murray's defense, jab and right hand.

Wait a second, I thought you knew everything. But you know everythi not everything, what or who is an everythi?

 

May 31st.

 

Boxing in the East end of London UK was often in the backyards of pubs. I fought then and you tolerated the rain for the cleaner atmosphere of indoors with smokers and beer odours making it hard to breath. I have seen a number of outdoor fights in Germany in car parks recently

 

ODLH versus Forbes was outdoors if I remember correctly. Have no recollection why, it was hardly a big fight.

 

If I was a boxer, I wouldn't want to fight out doors to be honest. I'd put that in the contract.

 

Ever heard of Stub Hub Center.Many fights are held there.
