    Because the idea of a temporary outdoor stadium in Vegas when dealing with Pacquiao vs. Bradley is ridiculous beyond belief.

    It doesn't make ANY sense to build a temporary stadium when you got 4 venues in Vegas that can host a fight.

    You got Sam Boyd Stadium for UNLV football and Monster Truck Rallies. 24,000 seats, plus if you configure it to ground level that's an extra 7 thousand seats (guestimate)

    Thomas and Mack Center 17,500 Plus 1-2000 seats on the floor.

    MGM which gets a meager 16,500 at tops..

    Then Mandalay Bay which is the worst out of all the venues. 14,000??

    I've been told that Vegas could build a temporary stadium in the vacant Frontier lot.

    The best venue for a fight of this magnitude is obviously Dallas Stadium. Let Mayweather bring his refs, judges whatever and his tests. Its the best venue for ALL fans of boxing.

    What? I had a long post ready too..

    It's an Arum excuse but you should also know then why a stadium COULD potentially create more profit, with only a Pac-Floyd fight

    Arum said he was gonna "test it out" on Pac's next fight (Bradley).

    Because there isn't as much hunger for a Bradley fight

    Reading comprehension isnt your strong suit. Pac vs Floyd as a pair is different than Floyd "OR" Pac by themselves.:rofl You smell bull**** because that's all you offer up sweetness.

    :deal

    Here's a man who paid attention. Exactly what was said

    Arum said PAC would test it out in June then fight Floyd in it in November. :yep
