Comments Thread For: Mayweather-Pacquiao: Dallas KO'd; Vegas Leads To Host

Dallas' site fee will be based on the tickets they can sell at the stadium. Vegas' site fee will be based on whatever they have to do to win the fight from Dallas.

I think Dallas can offer a competitive fee that would at least give them a shot, the added value they offer is that putting the fight here would make it legendary. Every superfight for the past 20 years has been in Vegas, it's always the same, snooze. Put it at the world's greatest stadium with maybe the biggest boxing crowd in history and you have the things legendary nights are made of. I think Vegas is going to have to use dirty tricks to keep this fight from where it should properly be.

Why anyone would argue that this fight should be in a 16,000 seat stadium in Las Vegas where they will sell 20-30,000 CLOSED CIRCUIT seats and deprive more boxing fans from seeing this fight live is incomprehensible to me.

Thats right mang , stand up and be heard !!

My take is Beer and Boxing are not in the same boat but people put it there.

The same with ******** and Boxing.

Some try to be the top dog by how much they can bet.

Betting a million dollars on a fight doesn't make the fight better or the fighters greater.

boxing and ******** may go hand in hand with most but ******** is a by product by Choice and has nothing to do with anything in my book!

This is not good for the sport. This is a HUGE fight, even bigger then Chavez vs. Whitaker. A huge stadium like this with $35 cheap seats all the way up to premium prices for ringside would be extraordianarily profittable. For some reason, I have a feeling Mayweather doesn't want the fight. He called out March 13th or bust and Manny took the bait. He now is looking for a way out of the fight. Everybody's '0' must go, Floyd. Take the fight and prove you are the best. Don't puss out like I have a bad feeling you are trying to do...

How the hell is this Mayweather's fault? Pacquiao hasn't even signed the contract but Mayweather is the one trying to get out of the fight? Hold your "Manny took the bait" comments until he signs the contract at least.

Ok, I don't if you've read NYU Alum's cost analysis, but you say that it's "extraordianarily profittable". Do you care to up some numbers to validate your point? Start with the fact that each fighter is guaranteed an equal purse of what, $20M? This is before the PPV revenue, so don't include that. Give us the numbers strictly from a Dallas vs Vegas standpoint.
