Why don't any big fights take place outdoors anymore???

What happen to these big fights that use to be held outdoors like leanord-Hearns or so many others.. They need to start that back up again..

Good question. Margarito Paul Williams was the last semi big fight I can remember.

It probably has to do with the risk of rain, obviously, and the fact that so many years the big Casino's in vegas simply had all the big fights. Now that that is starting to change a bit and more and more fights are at non-vegas venues, I suspect this summer we can see a return of the out door fight!

On a side note I'd like to see Kelly Pavlik vs Abraham in Alaska in the dead of winter

Because of FAN MAN

Floyd banned out door boxing arenas because he was afraid Horus would get a Fan and try to jump from a building so he could try and land in the ring and try to hug floyds nuts.

I'm talkin big fights..Hatton-Lazcano was a joke of a fight..Don't even say De la hoya-forbes... i'm talkin about BIG fights like Pacquiao-Hatton...Mayweather-De la hoya...Mainly big events are held in America..Haye-Klitchko is not that big really..Only us big boxing fans even know who they are(At least in America)

DLH/Forbes was outdoors, although that wasnt that big of a fight. Boxing isnt as popular as it used to be too.

I was JUST thinking about this last night. It really brings a new spin to the table, weather and all.
