Fight Venue for Pacquiao vs. Mayweather

[uragon ako]

From a boxing fan point of view which venue is more appropriate for this magnitude? Keep in mind that Floyd doesn't want to fight outside of Las Vegas but if the price is right I think the fight would happen. Do not factor the PPV as this fight is very huge, every ticket will be sold out. Even if they fight in Iraq, Mosque will be close there and suicide bombers will turn off the clock just to have a glimpse of this historic event.

1. MGM Hotel
Pros :
- 4hr drive from L.A.
- high rollers will generate more money to Nevada
- celebrity friendly venue
Cons:
- limited seating
- expected high ticket pricing
- cheap seat needs binoculars

2. Dallas Stadium
Pros:
- more seating
- cheap ticket price
- super mega HD screen
- boxing fan friendly venue
Cons:
- high ticket air fare from LA
- Few celebrities

3. State here where and why you want them both to fight!

Staples Center, 25 min drive! most celebrities you can handle (like we care), good seating, great venue.

i voted Dallas just because they can get 100k in there and that means MORE of the real fans can attend, unlike those vegas spots where the Millionaire and Celeb NONFANS will surely snatch up all the real seats.

Hopefully they do the right thing and truly go all out in making this THE biggest fight ever.

Why no more fights at Caesar's Palace??

[futureofboxing]

get real this is boxing whatever makes more money makes sense to them they do not give a **** about the real fans and this is why they are facing so many problems today

As I remember they have indoor stadium but converted it for that dude Elton John show and Celine Dion.

If Las Vegas will be the venue again and erect an outside the strip stadium for sure some nutcrack stunt will attempt again what happened during the Rid**** Bowe vs Evander Holyfield fight.

I would not mind Staples since I live in LA but I voted for Vegas due to the attractions in the city... Obviously if the fight is in Vegas, this means SPENDING MORE, but itll be a historical event so I would think twice..

Dallas would be cool too. I would love to see that Cowboy Stadium..

[Heeb]

Gotta be at the MGM grand.

I'd prefer the Dallas Stadium.
