Why couldn't Bradley/Alexander land in Las Vegas?

I mean come on....they're the top two...if not 2 of the top 3 JrWW in the WORLD...one is promoted by King, the other by Shaw...do they not have enough pull to get into Vegas?

I myself don't really care where they fight...as the fight has been signed, but I'm pretty sure that if the fight doesn't sell out (supposedly configured for 15,000) that will probably be something that would be brought up by Floyd/Manny later on down the road as to why they won't fight either.....

Yay or Nay?

Im not sure this fight sells anywhere but St. Louis. Fights like Rafa lopez and Williams Martinez were done in AC and Vegas recently and both had low attendence for the quality of fights they were.

Because Bradley is boring and has no fanbase

Fighting in the midwest would draw more fans. I'm tired of every fight being in Vegas or Atlantic city. They have a rematch clause, they can fight there for the rematch

Bradley is not a draw and Devon is only a draw in St. Louis.

Why would Vegas pick this fight up when the site fee would cost more than the revenue they would make from the fight?

Berto shouldnt be fighting in Vegas either

Why are any fights in Las Vegas, other than the casinos outbidding other cities?

Having fights held in Las Vegas, without a Mayweather or Pacquiao involved, is garbage. The crowd atmosphere at a fight makes the fight better and more enjoyable for most of the audience (TV audience) and the crowds at LV fights are mostly garbage.

Mayweather-Hatton was a **** fight, but the UK crowd made that atmosphere and the fight bearable. Imagine that fight happening in front of the crowds at the JMM and Mosley, it would've been that much worse. Look at the difference between JMM-Diaz I and the rematch and it wasn't just the fight itself.
