What Venue Do You Think Will Be used For Mayweather Pacquaio?

I'd love it to be Wembley stadium.

MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas. No way they will put this on in a stadium when MGM Mirage put up a site fee of $25m+

Vegas, always Vegas no one can compete with their money.

I'd love it to be Wembley but realistically theres no way the biggest fight in years will happen outside of Vegas

Yankee Stadium? :confused:

I think that the Yankee Stadium is more than possible but I would never rule out vegas who will be more than willing to shell all the money necessary to get it here.

of course its vegas but the new cowboys stadium wouldn't be a bad chioce

Yeah agreed new Cowboys stadium would be awesome, it would hold 110k for a fight which would be something else. Not to mention The tickets would be more fairly priced with that kind of attendance. I've alread checked the flights and you can get London to Dallas for £320!!!

All that means shit though, no way a Vegas Casino passes on the biggest fight in 25 years!! :eek:

...I'm sure you would :vd:

The new Dallas Cowboys Stadium, seats 80,000 is expandable to 110,000, and if it's seating for boxing it would fill up even more. It's a HUGE venue and this no doubt will be a HUGE event. Those two guys would fill up that venue and then sell huge amounts of PPV's.

No dome. Can't chance that.

Vegas is the only place in the world really suited to fights on this scale, it's where the money is.

Hahahah Lyle what is with your now hate for anything British??

Seriously your turning very bitter and stupid, not a great chance of it being at Wembley, but with your " hand covering your face " picture you would think the poster was reccomending a stadium that holds about 10 thousand, WEMBLEY IS BIGGER THAN THE DALLAS COWBOYS STADIUM :rolleyes:.

I'd be shocked if it's anywhere other than the MGM Grand.

It would mean the Cowboys would have to find a site fee of many millions to beat what the MGM will be offering, even with all the extra ticket sales. If they sold 70 000 tickets more than the MGM at $100 a ticket that's only seven million more than the MGM gate would pay. MGM will make seven million in the casino from one or two of the hundred plus high rollers that the fight will attract, they can afford to offer an enormous site fee.

Well this isn't a me hating the British thing it's just that Manny isn't British and Floyd isn't British and to me it would make no sense to make the fight farther away and in a more expensive country for the Philipino's that travel to see Manny fight.

Wembley is NOT bigger than Cowboy Stadium....and Wembley doesn't have the big old jumbotron that Cowboys Stadium has.

Cowboys Stadium can fit 111,000 people just for football, for boxing I bet they could bump that capacity crowd up quite a bit more, as the ring would be on the field and they would most certainly fill in the rest of the field with seats. And the 160 X 72 'JerryVision' jumbotron would actually give those people attending the fight in the nosebleed section a good view of the fight.

How many people has Wembley fit in?

Cowboys stadium has a seating capacity of 80,000. Wembley has a seating capacity of 90,000. Cowboys stadium can hold 111,000 with the use of standing areas. Not sure what Wembley can hold with standing, but as it has a 10,000 head start its probably more than 111,000. Also, even with the roof open, all 90,000 seats are covered.
Either way, both stadiums are huge.

Hey we own Puerto Rico, we gave them their own quarter what more do you want? ;D

I'd put my last penny on it being in the MGM Grand, Las Vegas. That is the place that seems to get all the massive boxing at the minute. BUT wouldn't it be nice to see a fight of this magnitude return to the Mecca of boxing that is Madison Square Garden, New York.

MGM grand las vegas or york hall, bethnal green ;D;D;D
