    As the title says? Who ever Pacquiao decides to face do you think he will be fighting in vegas in a temporary stadium?

    "Arum has repeatedly stated that Top Rank plans to complete a temporary 40,000-seat outdoor stadium in time for Pacquiao's next fight, in order to maximize revenue."

    I doubt they can justify it for anyone other than Pac vs PBF.

    I believe Arum said he would build the stadium without fighting Floyd Mayweather in mind. read the link I provided if you like.

    End of Tyson/Holyfield 2 after the fight was called to an end for the ear biting.

    No, he just wanted to control the event. Also that the stadium would be sponsored by 2 hotel casinos. Bidding money from 2 hotel casinos, that's one greedy *******.

    And who will sponsor that stadium if the fight aint pac-floyd

    Arum is full of ****. Anyone who believed that a stadium was actually going to be built is an idiot and should be taken out back along with Arum and the CongROIDSman and shot.

    Sup Hook! Tell me why, don't just say "no" lol!


    I voted no because now I don't think Arum ever had any intention of building it, for a minute or two I thought he might build it and I thought it would be a good look for boxing to have something like this BUT he hasn't mentioned it once since so I think he was lying.

    I seriously doubt it. But...I'm not 100% certain. I assume it was an excuse to avoid making the fight with Floyd. But, Arum might be egotistical enough to do it anyway. He made the Margarito, Clottey, Shane and Marquez fights...and nobody seemed to want those. But, they all still did relatively well. The stadium doesn't make sense, IMO. But, with the right opponent (Cotto) on the right day (June 9...big weekend for Puerto Ricans), at the right price per ticket, it might do well.

    If it's not FMJ then why bother? It would be silly to build a temp stadium for a pac vs bradley (for example) fight. They couldn't fill it up and it would be a waste of money.
