Does anyone know why this fight is taking place at The Staples Center? I mean all four of these guys are based in the East Coast. Maybe Hopkins has a strong following out there?

Hopkins fighting somewhere in Philly or Atlantic City would be huge

I believe the last time he fought there he did 16,000 tickets against Howard Eastman

Holt vs Khan would be bad ass!, but Amir would duck him like he's past his prime and wouldn't get anything out of fighting him.
