        Because sports fans in Miami suck. I know that's not what people want to hear, but look at every sports teams attendance records not named the Dolphins.

        The Heat only when they were good, Marlins get no love, fans down here aren't very dedicated.

        Plus the boxing scene in Miami isn't that good either, especially at the amateur level.

            Yup, Miami there's too much to do, and people aren't hardcore fans. I remember going to the Lakers vs Heat game and it wasn't full until the 3rd period.

            Shame.

              I always wondered why big cities like Chicago and Atlanta did not host big boxing matches?

              I know Chicago has some fights but it is the third largest metropolitan area in the US.

              Atlanta I dont really remember any fights happening there and it is a big city.

                Most people never even been to Miami but are quick to give a opinion. Miami has had a lot of great fights. Mostly upcomers though. Warrior Boxing promotions has a pretty good stable of fighters. Lots of good fighters down here. Venue is another issue. MGM and Madison Square and Staples Center are solid Venues to hold big fights. Despite home town advantages for a fighter.

                  Wow, I'm floored. You can actually have a post that is well thought out and informative. Beats the hell out of your usual name calling and extremely ****** anti Floyd BS
