LAS VEGAS — As pound-for-pound king Floyd Mayweather Jr. arrived at the site of Thursday's ground breaking for a 20,000-seat arena along the Las Vegas Strip, later helping executives to shovel dirt for as part of a $375 million project, Golden Boy Promotions CEO Richard Schaefer imagined what it would be like for the undefeated fighter to participate in one of the first major events at a venue slated for completion in the spring of 2016.
"Floyd Mayweather was invited as a surprise guest and he was there and he said that he would be honored to open up the arena. The scheduled date for opening the arena is in the spring of 2016," said Schaefer, who was on hand and is promoting a defense by Mayweather (45-0, 26 knockouts) on Saturday of his RING and WBC welterweight championships against Marcos Maidana at the MGM Grand on Showtime Pay-Per-View. "Imagine, though, if he was in his 50th fight? That would be incredible. Can you imagine that? I could sell out the arena today with Floyd and it's not even built yet."
I think that this new arena being built should dedicate a statue to the legendary figures to those who performed over the many years in las vegas whether it be sports figures like boxers or musicians kind of like the staples center has oscar dela hoya even thought personally i dont think he deserves one. I honestly dont know why the MGM grand hasnt done something like that already since hes a polarizing figure for that venue,maybe theres no adequate room?
Who are some people who should get a statue outside of the venue? Also imagine if Floyd took his 50th fight there to open the venues first event? that would be insane!!
