    Probably Vegas.

    MSG or Yankee stadium may draw huge ticket sales but it's extremely difficult to compete with a Vegas casino's site fee.

    The ticket sales are only part of what a casino gets during a big fight weekend.

      Somewhere in new york so I can get tickets to see. Preferably Yankee stadium so the tickets will be cheap.

                Vegas is the mecca of boxing and the crowds are not biased there. If the fought at Yankee Stadium evey PR with 500 miles would be there and whatever Cotto did, even if the shots were blocked would cause an uproar and sway the judges. I want this to be as even a fight as possible. And NYC, if your from their, is the biggest home field advantage in boxing. In Las Vegas, yeah Floyd lives their, but they are not biased like NYC. They go for whatever fighter they want, and not because where the person is from because they attract people from ALL OVER the world.

                  Wait are you asking where the fight will happen or where we WANT it to happen?

                    Vegas has had plenty of atrocious scorecards.

                    And speaking of guys missing shots and the crowd going nuts and then that guy gets the benefit of the doubt from the judges, how about these cards?

                    Leonard 118 Hagler 110
                    DLH 116 Quartey 112
                    DLH 116 Whitaker 110
                    DLH 115 Mayweather 113


                    And other Vegas classics like Nelson-Fenech I, D.Hopkins-Forbes? Scorecards like Marquez 118 Barrera 109 or Navarro 120 Mijares 108?
