Why are all the big fights in Las Vegas?

[Zarco]

The venues are small. I was hoping to buy the $150 seats to Marquez-Mayweater and I was glued to ticketmaster right at 10am but there are none available. I kept trying for 30 minutes and nothing. Those casinos are ****. Thye should have big fights else where. If they are going to have one in Vegas it should be at the Thomas and Mack. They have very few $150 seats available in those venues and it were at a bigger arena they would have more of those seats. I cant afford any thing other than those right now. The people involved also do it on purpose to get the most money out of their tickets. Its all ***ing politics and $$$ with those ***ing casinos and their ***** ass high rollers. Give the true fans a ***ing chance man. Staples Center would sell out in a jiffy and they hold 20k people, and thats bank for the promoters with gate revenue. ***ing pissed because Marquez is my all time favorite and out of all the fights i have been to, none of them were his. I ***ing Las Vegas, supply and demand, and boxing politics. See you on July 18th Marquez and Mayweather...on PPV.

the mgm grand arena is about the same size as madison square garden

Because Vegas gives the biggest site fees for fights. It is all about the $$$$$$.

You basically answered your own question there.
