Staples Center Makes $20M Bid To Host Pacquiao-Mayweather

http://basketball.realgm.com/src_wiretap_archives/63316/20091209/staples_center_makes_$20m_bid_to_host_pacquiao_mayweather/ Staples Center has made a guaranteed $20-million offer to host the Manny Pacquiao-Floyd Mayweather Jr. fight that has been verbally agreed to be fought March 13. "This is the biggest boxing event ever, and we're prepared to step up in a big way," said Dan Beckerman, AEG's chief financial officer. Beckerman said his pitch to Mayweather promoter Richard Schaefer and Pacquiao's promoter Bob Arum is to "activate the entire L.A. Live campus" on fight week. Would be cool I think...

It's a shame it couldnt be helt at the Cowboys Stadium. Would have been wild. It really doesn't matter where the fight will be held, as long as it's happening, I could care less.

I'd rather go to Staples then Vegas, but I don't think they'd let L.A take it. Vegas wants that revenue badly... I would too.

I live in LA, so of course it will be cool. But we all know Dallas never had a chance. Mega fights are supposed to be in Vegas. The strip on fight night is gonna be ON FIRE. I might just go for the atmosphere. Then the money Floyd is gonna win me I'll buy a top of the line prostitute to do naughty things to me
