MGM Hints Ties With Arum May Be Over

Half of those are owned by MGM and the others don't have a boxing arena.

Arrangements can be made.....it's Vegas...Trump would make it happen.

Glad this uptight fuckwit is finally being put in his place, piss off already so we the fans can see the fights we want to!

Bobby needs to get that Stadium built ASAP.

And why would they do that especially Arum has shown no loyalty to where he will have his fights.

Contrary to popular belief on NSB, Bob Arum can't just make stadiums appear.

Sure he can. Temporary stadiums used to common as hell back in the day for big fights. And there are construction companies that exist for just that reason. I don't understand why people think it's such an outlandish idea. Obviously, it would have to be for the right fine, not just any fight.

people keep mentioning other casinos owned by MGM. if bob keeps this up, pacquiao's next fight will be held at a YMCA center just outside of vegas.

Money is money and greedy, rich dudes will bend to make a pocketful of it...Arum knows this. It's Vegas man, if you like money, you will spend a little extra to accommodate your market if it makes your pockets fatter.

Arum did the right thing he defended his promotion and his sponsors and put the guy on blast.

[ShoulderRoll]

Phuck it, go to the Lexor or the New York, New York one. The Luxor is a beast, killer hotel.

MGM owns the Luxor too.

Arum picked the wrong company to berate in public. He should have handled it professionally, behind closed doors.

Things such as territorial rights and safety code now may apply. Additionally, the most recent information I've found about temporary stadiums in the US/Canada indicates an approximate capacity of 20,000 for 15 million USD and a three month construction period. The larger temporary stadiums planned for the Russia and Qatar World Cups have significantly higher projected costs. The cost of a temporary stadium for usage in one event would seemingly cost as much if not more than the revenue it would directly generate.
