    As Daxx says, fights in Vegas make sense - but the other reason the fight couldn't happen at Wembley is because without HBO's backing the fight isn't happening.

    Primetime HBO PPV would mean the fight starting at 4am UK time.

    Wembley has an 11pm deadline for events. So the fight would have to be primetime UK, which is no good for HBO, so no fight.

    Just imagine the hassle of dealing with 80,000 drunks in the early hours of the morning .. that's if it's even possible to get those numbers then

    I fully understand why there is more money involved by staging it at the strip - and know full well why it's going to happen there.

    It's like footballers earning 150k a week here - easy to understand why but it doesn't make it right that's all.

    Would love to be at this one but no way am I making the trip again and spending several days in lost wages.

    will make do with a Khan v Barrera ticket instead - £83 and just 48 miles away
