Atlantic City- Why did it die as a boxing venue?

[walrus]

The Atlantic City strip itself is dying. If we wanted to gamble back in the day, or see a fight etc Atalantic city was the one of the few areas around several states where gambling was legal. now we have two in my state which once supplied traffic to the boardwalk, and now we are building a third while our neighboring state put up one last year. My wife and I went a couple times, last was like four years ago. It looks pretty ratty or did four years ago. So on the east coast us Atlantic City was at one time the only legal option for betting, now it’s common to have at least one on every Indian reservation in the area. People once used my state as a pathway to Atlantic City now along that route they have three or four major casinos to choose from
