    The extra seats compared to MGM would be seats veeeery far away.

    Imagine the arena as a circle. Now imagine how to add seats to this circle. You would expand it right? Outwards.
    do you realize that was a rough estimate based on what was given?...do you realize none of us know the details of the staduim?..do you realize none of us know the prices of the tickets if that fight ever happened...lots of things to consider but none of these is a factor that can negatively affect the revenue sales....

      It was a bad estimate as it made no sense.

      ...do you realize none of us know the details of the staduim?..
      No but we do know about basic math and the shape it could possibly use to generate space. Or are you suggesting they will build floating sections above the ring to make them charge premium for the tickets?

      The only way to expand would be to build further out and higher up. Both of those options equals the same space close to the ring = the excess space will be of the worse seats = the cheapest seats.

      Oh I'm sure it would make money. Just not close to the amount Bob Arum says.

      We don't know the ticket prices, fair point, but the excess space will be of the cheapest tickets. Not the average ticket price.

            I don't know about the profit stuff, but having it in a stadium is still a good idea regardless. Doesn't seem fair to have the biggest fight in the world only available to the super rich exclusively. Let the plebeians come see it even if the seats are bad.

              It's not a bad idea, but not worth throwing away this perfect opportunity for.

              And it's not like they can do the stadium **** in november/december anyway. Las Vegas will be freezing.

                it made no sense to you coz you did not understand it, aint my fault you suck at math....basic math that is...why do you need to know the space when the number of seats are already known ( target 40 something k )..it aint rocket science to know what bob arum was sayin is very very possible...

                do you know the purpose of getting the average?...so that we can roughly estimate the tciket price no matter where it is, that's the purpose since we dont know how many seats are there for each ticket price, you get it?...

                    Where was the arena idea when bob put that countdown clock on his website?
                    He never said they needed a new arena then.

                      Bob is making custom jackets for each fan. And the ring will be heated.
