I live in Vegas, and no it doesn't revolve around Floyd. Any 3 day weekend absolutely crushes a Floyd fight in terms of city revenue. And really, it's more the fact that Floyd fights on a holiday in the highest populated Mexican region in the country. Take away Floyd and all those people will still come to Vegas on vacation. It'll just be someone else fighting instead of Floyd.
Vegas does not need Floyd, he only fights twice a year and while it does bring numbers up it's nothing that would fail if Floyd retired or really would even be missed. In fact, Manny's fights while cheaper in gate and revenue bring in more money (or used to) because of the whales that come in from Asia and Manny brings (brought) the celebrities in full force as well as them. And let's be honest, the celebrities don't end up paying for anything anyway.
