Floyd Mayweather Jr wants the fight to take place in Las Vegas. Of course it's in his back yard, and he wouldn't get creamed in taxes. Both reasonable enough reasons I suppose. Pacquaio could care less where they fight. This writer spoke with Freddie Roach this afternoon, and was informed that Manny is completely on board with the fight, and will fight anywhere. Roach explained, " We are completely on board, we'll fight anywhere. Floyd wants to fight in Las Vegas, but Dallas is making an offer tough to refuse."
NFL football franchise owner, Jerry Jones is pushing hard to land this fight at the new Texas Stadium, in Dallas. The bottom line is this, if both fighters are being guaranteed 25 million dollars, the promoter of the show must find a venue that is willing to absorb that cost. Jones is offering 25 million dollars to bring the fight to Dallas, Texas. Unless someone tops that, that is where Arum will want to bring the fight. Now, Mayweather of course will have to agree, and that's the tricky part.
This is all boiling down to the venue? Depending on how stubborn Mayweather is, it could take some time for this thing to get done. The purse is settled, the glove size is settled, the weight is settled, it seems as if it's all coming down to location, location, location.
Im sick of you fools keep saying all that "Floyd's backyard" crap. How is Vegas his hometown as you say? How is it his backyard? His hometown is Michigan and there are a billion people in Vegas who arent from Vegas. They dont treat Floyd any different. He's not home grown at all. Shit, half the fighters in the US seem to live in Vegas now. That dont mean shit. I use to live right around the corner from Chop Chop and even he moved to Vegas but that doesnt make it his hometown or backyard.
That is a very true statement. I also think people seem to forget that Floyd has ties to Texas as well.
Not that Im making anything out of it, cause Im not. Just saying.
When are people on here especially Pacquiao fans going to realise that the examiner are for trainee journalist???
With the highlighted bit above means Pacquaio cares where the fight is staged because if he doesnt care then it should be "Pacquiao couldnt care less where they fight......"
Finally, someone with some common sense. These Pacman fans take it as a real source
No. In America it's "could care less". In the UK it's "couldn't care less".
I know, the American version doesn't make sense.
Fine, The article is not relevant in anyway, Its just another Mayweather "Ducked"..................... which doesnt make any sense whatsoever, This is becoming quite funny and irritating at the sametime.
Boxing is a business to all involve and Mayweather alone doesnt make the decision on where a fight happens.
That sounds really stupid, actually. Thanks for your cheap dig at anyone who supports Pacquiao.
That is a dig at pacquiao fans who keep digging up the examiner has a reliable source, if you're one of them then it applies to you too.

Dallas offers 25 million, Floyd still doesn't want to fight outside of his hometown.. Africa can offer 50 million, Pac is willing, Floyd will duck that.. Floyd ducks fighters and ducks Venues.
Ok...........

Yeah, I think anyone with at least a little brain would realise that both fighter and promoters would only look at venue that would make them the most money, If someone from Africa offers them 100 million dollars tax-free right now better believe both fighters would be flying down there to fight in a second.

DALLAS
Like J.R. Ewing, Jerry Jones and his offer to host Pacquiao-Mayweather at his new billion-dollar Cowboy Stadium might have been shot down but it’s not out, by any means. Jones has now upped the ante to around $25 million. Yeah, it’s true; they do everything bigger in Texas.
After the fights this weekends at Agua Caliente Casino in Rancho Mirage, California, Bob Arum was speaking to reporters about where this fight will end up. It’s clear that judging by his tone and tenor, he wants the best deal out there. And unlike Golden Boy Promotions and Richard Schaefer, he isn’t beholden to MGM-Mirage to bring this event to the MGM Grand in exchange for hosting future events.
He didn’t outright say it, but you got the sense that at the very least, he is very, very intrigued by what Jones has to offer.
Sources tell me that Floyd Mayweather, who wasn’t thrilled that Schaefer ditched the scheduled meeting with Jones last Wednesday, actually met up with officials from Land Shark Stadium, himself, about the possibility of staging this fight in that venue and is very interested in holding this fight at a big venue. But bottom line, "Money" is a business man. He wants the most lucrative deal for him out there. And the one thing that Arum kept harping on, as he was surrounded by media members this past weekend, was that both he and Schaefer had a fiduciary responsibility to their clients to seek out the best deal for them as individuals; not their companies.
