Making all the big fights in Vegas is the problem..

[True Guru]

^^^^^

Bigger crowds in Europe? 12,500 people were at Vitali's last fight. Abraham doesn't even fill the place up all the way. 60,000 for Wlad is an exception, not the norm.

NBA arenas in the US are perfect for boxing. Every major city has one and they very modern. The casinos in Vegas and AC are good for a FEW fights, not all fights.

Hatton sold 55,000 in Manchester
Calzaghe has twice sold 50,000+ in Cardiff
all the big events at the 02 are always sold out 16,000+,same with the M.E.N in Manchester...lol okay all these are British venues.

Europe is where its at,Bigger crowds and bigger venues,More big fights need to come to Europe IMO

Just not Germany, if it is a fight with a low KO possibility.

Us Brits need to see more big fights here(Not involving one of our guys)We got fantastic stadia and it would be great to have a huge fight here.

I dont understand why all big fights must happen in Las Vegas?? This is the problem!!! True fans that want to watch and can scramble enough money to buy a ticket dont have enough to make it to vegas and shell out more money for hotels etc etc...They need to go to cities with proven attendance records like Cali,NY, Even Houston. Because there is money here and a great boxing Fan base!! Marquez would sell out Toyota center just like Juan did. Every race supports its fighter Latino more than other IMO. Las Vegas Consist of tourist and not alot of people looking to go to see the fight! This might have been a great Venue back in the day but lets face it money isnt growing on trees these days. I can afford to pay 300 max for a ticket and thats with some saving. More people are inclined to spend more on tix if thats all they are spending on. Promoters have to think like they are holding average joes wallet not DLH's. If anyone is to blame its the promoters and their greed.

great thread, green k sent. ur exacltly right. the average person cant affort to fly off to vegas to see a fight. plane tickets, hotels, plus the ticket for the actual fight. its gettin out of hand. plus we're in a recession.

My favourite colour is red,like the bloodshed from Kurt Cobains head when he shot himself dead
Wll that do?

[Spacey1991]

yeah i went 2 vegas for hatton pac and wont go back just toooo expensive

How much does it cost all together roughly for the weekend if you don't mind me asking?

[Zarco]

i agree. ive said this before. marquez-mayweather would have been huge at the home depot center. but i think promoters get some extra money from the hotels because they bring clients.

I doubt a fight not involving a Brit would sell out a big venue. Mayweather thinks he can sell out Wembley which is ridiculous.

You pass the Brit test but I'm not fond of the Cobain dig because they were one of my favorite bands growing up and I have a soft spot for them. Good rhyme though.
