Comments Thread For: Miami, Vegas Venues Considered For Matthysse-Provodnikov

[JakeNDaBox]

Promoters Oscar De La Hoya and Art Pelullo are considering sites in Las Vegas and Miami for the highly anticipated Lucas Matthysse-Ruslan Provodnikov fight.

HBO will televise what figures to be a “Fight of the Year” candidate between these former junior welterweight champions March 28. Their promoters explored putting Matthysse-Provodnikov at Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City and StubHub Center in Carson, Calif., but both venues are unavailable that night. [Click Here To Read More]

Please bring that fight to Miami. That would make my day.

Just get it on already!

This is gonna be a hard one to pick! Matthysse showed a vulnerability against Molina. My money is on Lucas though because he's the better boxer of the two.

stub hub on hold?

Miami would be closer to me.... so goooooo Miami

I wonder if one of al haymon's slave "promoters" has the venue on hold.

[Realizniguhnit]

Count me in if it's in Miami but I strongly doubt it will be here, fighters like to complain about the Heat and humidity down here..

No Stub-Hub, sounds like Haymon with another ****-block. South Cal seemed like a good location for the fight, (Galen Center might have March Madness issues). Late March is a tough date due to basketball. Maybe try the Forum?

Miami is interesting, but I have doubts it'll do well there. I know there's a b-ball game in San Antonio the day before and after, so Illlusions Theater is out, same deal with Barclay Center.

Put it in Barclays or MSG

Forget LA or Miami, bring it to THE FIGHT CAPITOL OF THE WORLD, Las Vegas! I'll be purchasing my tix once its announced for LV!!!!
