      I think you are correct with this. Nevada doesn't take income tax, and its the biggest place for fights as others have said. Why would he want to fight anywhere else?

            NY income tax alone takes nearly 20 percent of the fighters purse. You know floyd doesn't want to give that up. you can easily go from making 25 million to 20 million just for the sake of fighting in NY when you can make that money and keep more in Nevada. Besides NY fights are too early on the west coast.

              1. His family and team live in Las Vegas. It makes sense for him to stay in Vegas for the whole training camp and fight.

              2. He doesn't have to pay Vegas taxes for his income.

              3. Vegas is the biggest stage in boxing.

                  I think taxes or lack there of is the mean reason. Another reason why GBP/Team Mayweather wasn't to hot about the Texas thing.
