    do you really think 100,000 americans will watch a fight?

    vegas has like 20,000 seat stadiums......you think 5 times that many people will watch pac-mayweather......only if the fight took place in the phillippines....

    the american media still doesnt hype boxing enough.....they dont talk about the fight everyday on espn.....i think everyone is overratting this.....

    the fight could do 50,000 seats then there gonna have to cheap the place out to look like a sellout...there gonna have to convince thousands of people to watch the fight on the big screen they aint gonna see **** in the ring...and they end up getting less money than a smaller vegas stadium with high rollers....

    This fight? Yes! The stars will travel and the faithful will be able to better afford it because of the amount of seats. Texas Stadium hosting this fight helps grow the sport.

        but lets say worst nightmare the fight ends up being 1 sided potshotting from floyd....in front of a half filled stadium....the media would kill boxing....also is there more noise inside a packed vegas arena vs a football stadium...

          Nope, and I really don't think they're gonna put up 100k for sale.

          Hell, I don't even see this event doing 30k, 25K Max !!

            If it was a dud it would be a dud on PPV in front of millions anyway.

              Just keep it in Las Vegas, no point changing it.

                Yes.... vegas like u said can do close to 20thousand and then thousands more pay money to watch close circuit. Given the chance this fight can see 100 thousand people and people will continue to buy as 24/7 builds it up. For once a big fight wont sell out in 5seconds and the ticket brokers wont be able to do people dirty if it were to happen.

                    Of course it will and it will be great for boxing if they did have it at a football stadium.
