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.

The weather? Ain't California in a historic drought? I doubt rain is going to be on the radar that night.

I was thinking this too. Not a Haymon fan the way he's trying to edge out other promoters. End result is bad for boxing, les fights, less choices for fighters and fans. Hate his fights anyway, too glitsy, bad matchmaking.

I guess everyone throwing haymon name out there didn't read the article haymon had nothing to do with venue first choice concert going on they thought would changes date and didn't and second choice they thought weather would play a factor in it

They are using weather as an excuse for not having it there. I guess they are afraid that it might snow or something. In Southern California in early November.

I don't mind as long as the fight is happening. Just means I have to drive 6 hours to Vegas instead of 7 to LA
