    WHY is TONEY-PETER II being held in SOME CRAP CASINO?????

    The stadium at this "hard rock" hotel or whatever, only seats 5500 people...

    yet the previous fight was at the staple center, and nearly sold out a stadium that holds 15-20 thousand...

    ANd the fight was a very good fight...

    Youd think they would go for a better arena for this fight but...

    That's just bad promoting, many more people want to buy tickets for this fight.

              Not to mention Florida has become notorious for screwing over fighters. Toney should be a aware of that

                The Hard Rock is actually about 1 Minute from where I lvie and it is a VERY nice facility. I went to a the Ray Austin-Sultan Ibragimov fight there. It isn't that big but it is quite nice. I also find it funny how it keeps being advertised as "Miami". It's in Hollywood which is a suburb of Ft. Lauderdale. We're roughly 30-45 minutes from Miami. Just thoguht I'd chime in.

                  I actually agree with all of you in that it should be in a bigger place, but I'm personally happy with it, cuz I actually get to go and watch a great heavyweight fight. Thanks to the recent big fights at the Hard Rock, I get to see a fight that I probably wouldnt ever to get to be able to attend, since usually there arent any big fights in South Florida. But we seem to be making a comeback with our recent fights...Miranda-Gibbs (not really big, but was expected to be a bit more exciting), Toney-Peter II, Adamek-Dawson.

                    Yeah, I was at that fight too. Was hoping to meet Tyson, but he never showed. And you're right...it's annoying as HELL that its advertised in Miami and not Lauderdale. I gotta commute over an hour from Miami to get there.

                    Then again, I gotta commute 30 minutes to work and I'm only about 10 miles away. ****ty traffic down here.
