Fight Venue for Pacquiao vs. Mayweather

[THE_BIG_HURT]

I've been to fights in both Staples Center and the MGM Grand. The MGM is much better, IMO. The cheap seats at the Staples are really high up.

exactly so why not be in Dallas because even people with the ****tiest seats would get a great view with that HUGE screen.

and imo Vegas only supports boxing because they make money off of it, Plain and simple. if boxing ever died down dramatically and UFC took over, Do you guys really think they would be as supportive to boxing as they are now?

I dont. Boxing=Money and that is the ONLY reason Vegas is so supportive

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!

Dallas is too big.

Or at least, u are guaranteed a great view from anywhere in the MGM.

**** the HD screen.

If u want to watch it on a screen, watch it at home, or in a bar.

The most important thing about the venue is that u get a good view. MGM has a great view from the back.

Let's see:

GBP and MGM ****s and loves each other so much.

Arum sucks Jerry Jones' **** and are inseparable.

I'd say The Yankee stadium! (but Arum complaining 'bout taxes in NY)

If not, the Araneta Coliseum

but for this fight It should be a whole experience. At least in Dallas a lot of people will get to say they were there and live for an experience that they will never forget.
You can go to the MGM Grand for any number of PPVS after but you might never get to attend a fight of this magnitude in that kind of venue again.

You go to Dallas Stadium for a mega fight and you know its something that doesnt happen often. You go to MGM and you know you can go back next month for a similiar experience.

thomas and Mack centre holds more than the MGM

the logistics of T&M (transportation, being off strip no luxury boxes or VIP area etc etc) make it an unattractive venue

[kenso]

the fight needs to be held somewhere that the attendance record can be broken. is dallas the best choice for this?

I think it will bro.If manny's fight with clottey brought 50,000 fans,I'm
pretty sure manny vs mayweather will get 100,000 fans.

MGM. I'd much rather travel to Vegas than Dallas.

[uragon ako]
