    Just to spread popularity of sport, take it to different countries. Country like dubai for eg.

    Most of the hype for thrila in manilla and rumble in jungle was that it was in another country. Forign surroundings that drew people who had no interest in boxing what so ever!!!!!

    Different countries would be a nice marketing ploy!!

    cause there's a global depression and boxing bouts bring in more money in the US.

      Because days are gone when it used to be held in a stadium of 90,000+

      now it is held in a Casino of 26,000 to accommodate all the celebrities who don't want to feel a chill.

        It's all about money.

        I wonder though if they could have a fight at the new Cowboys stadium.

          they could but i doubt for a megafight.

          casinos just pay too much money to hold a fight that stadiums that even sellout 100,000 tickets can't compete.

            It's something I'd like to see happen more often, but in boxing money dictates, and the casinos bring lots of it.
