Bob Arum: Stadiums Are Future of Boxing

[F l i c k e r]

That isn't the future of boxing. Back in the Kid McCoy's day, they were fighting in stadiums.

That's not the future. That is just going back to what has already been done. And News Flash.... Not every NFL stadium is like Dallas' stadium.

I love his thinking on this subject, but I agree he needs to start putting on better undercards.

Hate Arum but this is something that needs to happen. Boxing needs to start to travel to other cities and get the hell out of the casinos. The more it expands to other areas, the more exposure it will get.

arent there any stadiums in Nevada that Floyd would be willing to fight at (since he is avoiding Texas because of xylocaine)?

Cant wait to go to the Dallas stadium, I hope many more fights takes place in stadium for us fans to be able to afford and attend these events.

People are still on that old Xylocaine ****?

Its already been proven that its legal to use anywhere as long as it isn't within a week of the fight.

Hatings not healthy. Back in it's hey-day the biggest fights were in stadiums, or domes. Ain't nothing wrong with what he's trying to do. Would you rather boxing remain foreshadowed and become a forgotten sport in America. GTFOH with your pathetic self. You ain't gotta like the man, but making fights more affordable and accessible to fans; you can be mad at that.
