Why is there never any big fights in Chicago?

[mrcupide2]

What's wrong with Chicago? I'm from Chicago and I think the biggest fight we had was where Paulie Malignaggi Vs Juan Diaz 2 and Victor Ortiz was on the undercard. I didn't even get to go to that fight because I couldn't take off work.
Most of the fights we have are at the UIC pavilion which is decent.
But I think we need more fights in Chicago, we have the united center, All state arena, wrigelyfield, u.s cellular field.

Any people from Chicago agree with me!!?

I wish Ortiz vs Berto 2 was in Chicago instead of staples =(

I never understood why Chicago isn't an option for big fights. It's a city that has quite a bit to do, a big population, and also a big ethnic population that supports boxing(hispanics). It offers just about the same things as cities that land big fights like LA and NYC.

It isn't like Chicago has a poor boxing history either. While Yankee Stadium was holding lots of events, the old Cominsky was right there holding many also.

Then why do they hold events in NYC? There is plenty of Mexicans in Chicago. Chicago would be a much better destination than Connecticut that's for sure.

Lived in Vegas my whole life and rarely go to the big cards i prefer just watching it on the big screen while smoking blunts.Then again a tourist who spends a week on the strip has more time there then i have in the last 5 years.I go to the Hardrock a lot but thats not on the strip.

I wanna move there lol

I always asked myself the same thing. I went to the Paulie vs Diaz 2 fight. Decent fight, it wasn't packed but there were many people there. I guess it's because of taxes.

-They did have the World Boxing Championships here 2 years ago.

-They use to have huge fights at Soldier Field back in the day... Sucks that they don't do it anymore.

No you wouldn't. I used to live in Chicago but I go to Vegas often because I have a buddy that lives out there(saves money for when I want to go to Vegas). Living in Vegas is completely different than visiting Vegas. Majority of people living in Vegas don't do anything when it comes to partying, it's too expensive. My boys been living there for almost four years now and there has been plenty of casinos, not clubs, but casinos that he has never even been to. Living there is completely different. Chicago is one of the better cities to live in tbh. Weather is the only bad thing.
