one more thing.

i'm sure the governor can waive the state taxes for this fight on the boxers.

there's plenty of money for the state to get from this fight without taxing the boxers.

Can Arnie do that without the Legislature approval?

i don't know.

but if need be the legislature will probably approve it.

there's more to taxes than state income tax.

just imagine the state sales taxes they'll get from this.

nah, dude. I'm a New Yorker who loves LA.

I can go grab a bite at Falcon on Sunset. I would stay at the downtown Standard. Chill on the rooftop. Go check out my boy in manh Beach.

Forget about a table at Mr. Chow's or Katsuya, though.

we're talking about an arena which charges $10-12 bucks for a cup of beer.

how much you think they can sell ringside tickets for?

Well, yeah. In new York, for example, there's an 18% tax on hotel rooms. So whenever there is a big event there, the city really makes out.

That's in addition to the contractors tax (which is why they don't get the mega-events).
