Will Mannys next fight be in the temporary statium that Bob Arum spoke about?

    Freddie Roach was just on a KCBS 2 (Los Angeles) sports show interviewed by Jim Hill. He says the stadium will be built for sure by November in hopes of making the big fight.

    Even if that fight never happens, there will be no problem filling up a 40,000 seat stadium on the Vegas strip if Pac is fighting. Over 40,000 came to Cowboy Stadium in Dallas, Texas to watch Pac-Clottey. Las Vegas is a 4 hour drive from Los Angeles which has over a million Filipinos who will take full advantage of more tickets available to see Pac fight.

    If it's not FMJ, why would they need a temporary stadium? Less people would watch it, big stadium isn't necessary.

    I don't know maybe Bob thinks he can build Bradley into a house hold name like Mayweather and together when Pac and Bradley fight it will be huge?

    Or maybe it is the fact that Pacquiao is that big on his own that he could fill it, Dallas was a huge capacity and most of that sold out right?

    OK so they had 35K but if my memory serves it wasn't a huge gate in terms of revenue right? Certainly not in the top ten....So how would Bob make the revenue increase in this temporary stadium in comparison to the MGM? Because surely he is doing this from a commercial stand point.

    Or is he perhaps just doing this for the fans so more of them can see Manny fight in person?
