    Like I’ve been saying. The longer this played out the less dates available in the fall. Dana Whites not worried about going up against this fight. If the two big ones in Vegas are booked then maybe it’s in Dallas but that may depend on the Cowboys home schedule.
    Only other venue that comes to mind is the Thomas and Mack but they don’t do many fights there anymore.
    No way they do the Raiders stadium. Would be too many empty seats.

    I doubt it it will be in Dallas because I think they said it had to be a neutral venue. The only viable choice left for those dates would have to be MSG in New York. It slightly bigger than t-mobile and mgm grand so it’s the perfect size and Crawford has fought there before and Spence has fought several times in New York plus its neutral territory for both. Dan said it’s likely Las Vegas but not guaranteed so who knows.

      No, you sound like a ****ing idiot. Ppv prices are up there, and they have sh.itty undercards, it's not greed, it's wanting to get your money's worth, plus it would build Ortiz's brand up with two Dallas fighters on there......now go home and get your ****ing shine box.
      Maybe you're just unclear on how purse splits work...especially on PPV cards. I need you to understand something...just because YOU like a fighter, it doesn't mean that they belong on big cards such as this- especially if they already have a following (I'm speaking of Vergil here).

      I may be wrong here but the last noteworthy fight on a major card was Garcia vs Matthysse, which was the co-feature on Mayweather vs Canelo. According to Floyd, special provisions were made for both fighters to be on such a huge card- those "provisions" made sure Danny and Lucas would be paid nicely for their work. That definitely took place.

      From the looks of it, they've had a crazy time trying to pony up the cash for Spence/Crawford....a huge fight for fans which should be readily funded if fans "want it so bad." They (handlers from both teams) have to come up with the money. Both Terence and Errol want their money first...and I'm sure they want the lion's share of the purse. All of the other fighters get what's left of said purse for the entire card.

      How in the world are they gonna pay Vergil when Stanionis's name has already been mentioned for the card (No- they won't fight each other). Lord know who Stanionis is gonna fight and I'm sure they wouldn't mind serving up a tomato can to Vergil just to make goofy fans like you happy.

      I don't wanna see him on the card if they're gonna feed him a can. McKinson was busy and game, but he had zero power- and Vergil eventually stopped him. And I can bet your goofy ass was there cheering at the TV. It's fans like you who promoters listen to (I'm sure they read these boards) and prey on....as long as you just "wanna see Vergil," they'll make sure of it- even if it's a no-hoper.

      I mean, I get it...a MAJOR fight seems to be close to being finalized and you got excited and let some ****** stuff fly out of your mouth- out of pure excitement, I'm sure. It's okay, we all say ****** stuff from time to time...today is just your day. Lol

      Why is this so hard for you, sir or mam?

          It's all good, man- you just can't help yourself and that's fine with me. You're human. A dumb one, but human nonetheless. You have my pity.

              Perfect opportunity for Boots to beat up a cab driver on the undercard for some exposure without anyone questioning the calibre of his opponent PBC should reach out and try tempt him

                I think the taxes part will keep it from being in NYC although that would be perfect for me lol.

                      Hope so - but I agree with The tucker , I'm skeptical due to the logistics he's dug up.

                      I remember falling for the first Floyd-Pac announcement which may have also been a Dan Rafael tweet iirc.

                      anyway, I remember this thread:

                      (from 7/22/22): Mayweather: When Spence-Crawford is Done You Will Hear It From Me!:
