    Do you think Vegas is the best place to hold fights?

    Why are so many fights today, hold in Vegas, or in that area? Frankly, I think Vegas sucks, and more fights should happen in New York, cause the crowds are 100% better their.

    Vegas is Mecca of entertainment. They have a tons of attractions over there, not just the events, ******** and all other stuff. Holding an event in Vegas will generate more money than any other place in the US.

    And plus, who wants to watch a fight in NY during the winter? Crowd doesn't have anything to do with it. People from across the country will travel to Vegas to support their fighter.

        This is true.

        I haven't seen a pro fight there since Ivan Robinson-Demetrius Ceballos.....& that's a crime on my part.

            I wish they had more fights at the Venetian. Last big one I remember is Hopkins-Echols II. Looks like a cool place. They have a canal on the second floor, for god's sake.

                  Question for you (slightly) older guys: why did they stop holding outdoor fights at Caesar's Palace? When I see those old Hagler fights, or all the other classics that took place there, it almost gives me chills. With the way the lighting hits the ring and the stands it's pure magic.

                  I thought I heard that Wynn was planning to tear down Caesar's soon, so I guess there's no chance of them bringing that back. But what made them stop in the first place?

                    I agree with IWatchBoxing. They need to have big fights at Madison Square Garden again....if they're "huge" fights than they are automatically placed in Vegas all the time. Save for if it is supposed to a hometown fight like RJJ/Tarver 3.
