COMMENTS THREAD FOR: Bob Arum's Stadium in Las Vegas: Plans Underway?

[Robbie Barrett]

As he should. The guy promoted Ali, De La Hoya, Mayweather and Pacquiao. Don King is pretty much out of the loop and Richard can handle all the endorsers and sponsor contracts.

Mayweather/Haymon put together th 2 biggest fights in history and are the A side. Arum needs to take a back seat he isn't calling the shots here.

This is the problem the B side trying to run the show.

Thank you,
They need to sit back and go along for the ride.
IF, and only IF, they win then they can dictate the terms for a rematch

That's a good point. But, they obviously were only able to pull that off with the help and assistance of cheap Mexican labor.

Since I've done construction before I know **** can be built pretty quick if workers actually work. My concern with the whole stadium idea is why? Why build a stadium now when it wasn't necessary before for mega fights? They could just up the seat tickets and ppv price if needed. And why is the B side so worried about **** that the A side and lead promoter should be worried about? I'd rather pay $100 for HD at home than even $25 for a nosebleed seat I can barely see **** from but that's just my opinion.

exactly. I agree with you. every mega fight that has happen didn't need a special venue made and neither does this fight.

mayweather vs canelo
mayweather vs de la hoya
Tyson vs holyfield


all those fights were the biggest of their time. and they were all hosted by the MGM Grand. this fight should be there as well.

I just thought back to this fight. I didn't know that was all that possible either, did they say how long it took to make that stadium? From interviews I read prior to the fight I'm guessing around 2 months?

held 16k ... dunno how long it took to build but seemed like *** all time ... I mean like a couple of weeks. MAX

Mayweather doesn't even have a promoter, who else will do it if not Top Rank?

I have built entire houses by myself in 1-2 days so I know it is isn't impossible. Just requires a lot of focus and determination.
