If you were a fighter, where would be your ideal venue for a title fight?
Well.... pick anywhere?!? Could be your own hometown, or it could be an iconic venue, or it may just be an exotic off-beaten place that you feel would be ripe for a good scrap.
I feel as if fighting at the Maddison Sq. Garden is the pinnacle of fighting. Nothing has topped it in my fascination as a fight venue. It just has a mystique and an aura about it that you just don't get from the Vegas venues.
Yes, places like the Mandalay Bay Events Centre and the MGM Grand have some popularity, and Vegas being the premier fight-city, but really it doesn't matter where in Vegas you have the scrap- Venetian, MGM, Mandalay, etc... well, except for Caesar's Palace, but then again, because of all of the other venues in Vegas, it too has lost it's mystique even though it's historic and iconic.
For fight feel and crowd interest, it has to be the Tokyo Dome. Man, to hear Japanese fans go nuts and cheer you to get up and fight and fight harder just is what boxing is all about.
What about you??

Madison Square Gardens for the history. Cowboy's Stadium for the seat capacity.

I'd want to fight in Texas at the Cowboy stadium so I could inject myself with steroids and get away with it.

Las Vegas on a Saturday night. Madison Square Garden during a weekday.

So many but really if I fought in Vegas, LA Forum or the Superdome I'd only fill about 1 row ;D But going back I'd have to say The Blue horizon in Philly
