Mayweather-Pacquiao: Venues Battle For Hosting Rights

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

The fight negotiations for Floyd Mayweather Jr. vs Manny Pacquiao have just started and every major venue is putting in a bid to host the event. One city making a major play to host the event is New Orleans. Bill Clinton's former consigliere James Carville has spoken to Top Rank's Bob Arum and HBO Sports President Ross Greenburg about bringing the fight to the New Orleans Superdome which could seat around 70,000 for the fight.

Make it on the east coast so I can go haha.

this is stup1d.

we all know that all the big fights are now hosted in Vegas.

No way it goes somewhere else not even for this fight.

Vegas has all the ballers dropping cash.

[zeidrich]

this fight should happen for the sake of boxing... this fight can start the rebirth of the next golden days of boxing era....

[PittyPat]

Fuck Vegas already. A fight of this magnitude needs to seat 100,000 people.

[aristotlemoses]

Of course my corrupt ass state couldn't hold it because of high ass taxes ahaha.
I hope they do it somewhere other than Vegas though that'd be cool.

This needs to be in a football stadium not no little casino.

Dallas anyone?

[razor.thin]
