Mayweather-Pacquiao: Venues Battle For Hosting Rights

[GG Marquez]

Your comment is pretty ******...

The fight being in Vegas is not guaranteed. A fight like this deserves the biggest stage, and each considered venue should be looked at.

Scene,

His comment isn't completely ******. For an event of this magnitude, not every city can compete. the casino cities have a HUUUUUUUUUGE, advantage. Yooooge.

The casinos can afford to pay an exorbitant site fee because they will get residual traffic and revenue all weekend. Why would people be in Dallas all week, and what would they spend money on? By contrast, visitors to Vegas will sit at tables and pull slot machine levers.

The non-gaming locations have a verrrrrry tough time competing with the gaming cities. The gate is not what dives revenues.

Thanks.

Damn this fight is going to be treated like a Super Bowl...
This is in my opinion the highest magnitude fight of my lifetime.
Born in 1985. I never have seen a fight receive soo much hype...

This might even reach the level of Ali vs. Joe Frazier.

It makes me real happy to see that my favorite fighter will be apart of this historic match up.

This is going to be great for boxing.

Thanks again for the heads-up on the GYG show last night. I always miss the broadcasts.

Check your PM.

Mr boat buyer gotta actually sign the fight first.

[Main Event]

This fight is going to be insane

[Pacdbest]

The expectation and income of this fight seem to me that will have no precedents, so ther should be no excuse, for any of the fighters to accept a 50/50 split because it will provide them, by far the biggest purse of their careers. It will ****** of anyone of these of these fighters, turn down this fight just because one of them will consider themselve a bigger draw or star than the other.

JUST GET THE CONTRACT SIGNED AND LETS GET IT ON WITH!!!

Having said that, I currently live 1-1/2 hour away from New Orleans and this area has a lot of Asian (including lots of Phillipinnes) community and so those the African American community and it's also half way from the east and west side coast.

The Superdome might be a great idea!!!!

New Orleans has a Few Pinoy Population. Not Ideal for a Pac fight. New York is out of the run. It's either las Vegas, SF BayArea, LA, or San Diego. These Cities where Pinoys are concentrated.

mayweather is a bigger ww than cotto who is bigger than manny.

80% of Floyd's fights has been at 130
He fought in the 1996 Olympics at 125
He fought in the fought as a amateur at 125,114, and 106.

So at best Floyd is a Blown up Junior Welterweight. AT BEST.
Just by looking at his career

[Mr. Philadel]

they can battle all they want.....Vegas will get this!!!

Mr boat buyer gotta actually sign the fight first.

Pacquiao has to sign the contract also.

As much as I would want the event to be in Dallas , cuz to see it inside jerrys world and it's brand new..just have that feeling it will stay in Vegas..too much money is being thrown around.there ain't **** to do in Dallas,plus there ain't legal casinos .sounds like either MGM or the "temporary center" they plan on building would sound like the front runners..
