considering the germans and brits have hosted fights in arena's that hold 50k+ for quite some time now, why shouldn't top rank do it too?
manny vs clottey was the test phase. when a product gets released into the marketplace its not always the best version that gets released. look at the iphone, no video until recently. smart play for the developer, not really for the consumer though. anyway, same principle. get manny in there with a guy he can look good against so people will get excited for more big venue cards. in poker its called a sandtrap.Last edited by Bennett; 04-24-2010, 04:30 PM.
