There is a reason why once Floyd crossed over and became a PPV star he fought exclusively in Vegas. They outbid everybody. Floyd could of fought in any 100K stadium at any point in his career if he wanted him but fought basically in small 10-15K venues in Vegas because that Casino money is too much to pass up. They pay ridiculous site fees then jack up the prices to lure high rollers and celebs. It boosts the entire economy if you think about all the hotels people coming for the entire weekend a lot of money will be spent. Jerry has deep pockets but he never stood a chance against Vegas.

Floyd shoulda been fighting in Grand Rapids yo! That's how you build a PPV star. Fighting in Grand Rapids!!!

All the glamour fights end up in Vegas, where you gotta auction off a testicle to afford a decent seat.

Is Dallas Grand Rapids because I thought Dallas has 7m people and is one of the biggest cities and biggest markets in the entire US. Do the Cowboys America's team play out of Grand Rapids or Dallas? Yes much better to fight in coney island because Lou Duva is promoting a female brooklyn boxer named Heather Hardy. That's who most people who bought a ticket for Spence/Bundu came to see Heathy Hardy not spence in a small crap make shift bunker. Clearly can't find any venue better then that in Dallas where Spence could fight. Much better to have your showcase fights in coney island, Canada, Florida ect then in a city/State where they are dying to support Spence if you just come there and let them.

Vegas can offer more money than anywhere else, so you're getting small crowds with casual wealthy fans - and I think it's hurting the sport. Floyd started this epidemic because he wanted favorable treatment from the NSAC.

The best arenas to hold this fight for the sport of boxing would be Aztec Stadium in Mexico or Cowboy Stadium. You'd have over 80,000 being able to experience the fight live rather than a few hundred celebs and a few thousand casual ******** millionaires.

Every single big fight involving one American fighter goes to Vegas. And now even fights involving no American fighters are ending up in Vegas too. Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

tmobile is a nice arena. was a really good venue for boxing when i was there for ward and kovalev. not really a bad seat until you get to the corners and upper deck, but that's what they made booze for!


i was paying like 16 for a double gin and tonic doe, which ******! adds up when you have about 12 of them.

Big fights like this one should only be held in Vegas!

i just feel sorry for canola i seriously question his ability to absorb the kind if beating Triple GGG will put on him i mean he is going to be made to pay for the years of marinating canola & fishnets used to delay the fight
