Comments Thread For: Bradley-Rios: Top Rank Prez Explains Venue Choice

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

On the night of November 7th, welterweights Tim Bradley and Brandon Rios are scheduled to meet. If there was ever a fight that belonged in a venue like the Forum or the StubHub Center - it's this fight. But alas, this match-up featuring two boxers who hail from the Southern California region will take place at the Thomas and Mack Center in Las Vegas.

If Vegas is good enough for Floyd...........

They messed up on this big time, you have to find a solution somehow.

I love Las Vegas, but I've always felt it should only be used for major fights. Having smaller fights hosted there, especially when they almost never sell out, makes little sense and means it loses its allure.

both fighters need to join the PBC and get away from the toprank mess

And I guess the date wasn't movable, I imagine Big Gay Al has a lot of the venues on hold

[.!WAR MIKEY!.]

While I'm a fan of ****ting on TR when given the opportunity I don't see a problem with this being in Vegas. Both guys got some name value that doesn't make Vegas a bad venue & its not like its a super long trip from Cali to Vegas for the supporters of each fighter.

The weather?!? GTFOH! They could've priced the tix higher at StubHub, added extra seats like GGG & that **** would've sold out quick. I was at Rios Alvarado I at SHC and it was one of the best live fights I ever witnessed. Electric inside that place when they put 2 warriors together. LA fight fans know what's up. I may go to Vegas for this but the T&M Center is Circus Circus compared to the Cosmopolitan that is the StubHub Center.
