Has there even been a big name fight in Vancouver since Ali-Chavelo?
hmmmmmm good call bro!
but the only place that comes to my mind that arum could be sizing up is GM PLACE right? can u think of another possible venue?
i kinda like hot arum has his fighters fight EVERYWHERE and not just in vegas or atlantic city like some other promoters do.
GM Place would be, I guess, the premier venue for a large-scale boxing event in Van. It seats around 18,000-20,000, the only place larger is B.C. Place, which is an old a** dome stadium that the B.C. Lions (CFL team) play in - I think there's a stadium in Minnesota that's exactly the same. There's also the old hockey arena, the Pacific Collesium, but its a bit run down - well maybe not run down, but its old as hell. I'm not sure how big boxing is in Vancouver, but there are lots of Asian immigrants and I imagine Pacman is probably quite popular in Asia, but I'm don't know if they'd sell out GM place. I hope it does sell out because it might mean more boxing in Van.
My only concern with GM place would be if the Vancouver Canucks (NHL) are scheduled to be playing there, cause hockey season is on by Oct., but I'd assume they would've checked into that.
I can think of a couple of smaller venues that would be pretty wicked to see boxing in, but I doubt they'd be large enough for a fight of this magnitude.
