    Why are the majority of PBC/Showtime fights in Brooklyn?

    The only ones that ain't are Mikey's in San Antonio and Spence in Dallas.

    Is New York the only State where Non-Hispanic American boxers sell?

          Haymon works with Yormack so he gets a good deal to partner with the Barclay center. Wouldn’t be as sustainable, at least in my opinion, to have fights all over the place given the partnership he has

            Barclays Center is the new go-to place in the U.S. That's why.

            But Danny Garcia's fight was in Vegas. So is Hurd-Lara.

                That’s what Barclays would like you to believe. That’s why they give pbc discounts to host their fights there. Barclays just trying to build its brand. Business 101. Id like to check out a fight there.

                  A casino offering a sweet deal to have events hosted there? Shocker.


                  Anyway, it’s been “building” for years. And as someone who has been to countless fights there, it’s arrived. No it isn’t the T-Mobile, but the OP raised the question because he sees a disproportionate amount of fights there and they draw good crowds.
