Cant see it mate Manny is probably the biggest $$$ and name in boxing rite now along with Mayweather and the money comes from the Vegas Casino's.
The big money would travel to see the fight (ringside buyers); and if he were fighting Floyd, you'd have enough pedestrian boxing interest to sell enough seats to call it a success. If you filled the under cards with a lot of Latin guys--Chavez, Jr, Gamboa, Valero, etc... you could sell out Texas stadium.Quote:

Luxury boxes included.
Man that would be so sweet, I would have to go if Mayweather and Pacquiao fought there, its two dreams in one. That stadium is unreal, and that fight would be even more unreal.
It's called direct marketing. Really big money is being able to pack a stadium. When it is held at a stadium merchandise, beer, parking and the like are all big for the promoter. But along with that big venue comes the big risk. It's less risk for a big fight just being a big fight rather that a mega draw when the venue is sponsored by a casino. It'd more prudent for a promoter to take the sure bet and hard work out of promoting by taking the casino's bid and make the fight in Vegas. When the fight is held in Vegas people buy stuff around the fight and the casinos make the extras.
So if you have the biggest fight of the century (Pacquiao vs Mayweather Jr.) and it's a sure thing as a promoter where would you want to make the fight?
lets hope it happens, anywhere but vegas is a nice change.
Yeah man, agreed.Quote:

Don't get me wrong I love the place, hence why I've been like 5 times! ;D But I have been waiting for a MSG fight for a while now, but somewhere as awesome as the Cowboys stadium would be just as cool. I wouldn't mind seeing a little more of America that isn't so tourist orientated!!
another reason to why Pacquiao will lose on Saturday, especially if he's already looking past Cotto, either way it's gonna be Mayweather/Cotto in Yankee Stadium next year ;), then they'll have to clear Mayweather the hell out when he beats Cotto, cause if not he'll get murdered lol
They can even make the fight on the moon if they want, as long a it's broadcast, I don't give a Hoot where it happens.
I think you'd have a large Mexican population that would come to see Manny.Quote:

No way a Pacquiao-Mayweather fight happens anywhere but Vegas. The site fee that the MGM Grand will put up alone will stop anyone else outbidding them. The reason being that the hotel can accomodate a high-roller's fight ticket safe in the knowledge that some of those guys will drop up to anything up to $1m at the tables over the weekend. Take a few of those guys, plus all the other money spent by fans at the bar & it's a no-brainer for them especially on a fight this big.
The big fights will always be in Vegas, that includes Haye v Klit brothers. Attendance has very little to do with it unfortunately. Money is always highest in the casinos.
Another thing to add;Quote:

I live about 5 hours away from Dallas, hence I've been there 25+ times...
the area from Dallas to San Antonio (Dallas-Ft. Worth through Austin, San Marcos, to San Antonio) is so completely chocked full of attractive women, that as a now married man, I simply cannot go back there for fear of divorce. Austin is probably the best.
That, and I could not reasonably tell you that I don't have some children running around down there that I haven't found about yet.
You could look like fucking Valuev and get laid down there. FACT.
By virtue of the Mexican/Latin population having a larger boxing interest per capita...Quote:
