The idea that one has to fight in Vegas to validate their career is BS

        It was important to fight in Vegas when Joshua was going to rematch Wlad.

          If you want to play ball on the big stage, you have to play in the NBA.

          If a fighter wants to make it on the world level, yea they gotta make it in America. It’s that simple.

          What a little girl lol

                As long as they're fighting for money, location will matter as no location can generate more money than Las Vegas.

                    Why would you turn down $50 million to fight in Vegas, if it was more than you could get anywhere else?

                    This is prizefighting is it not?

                      Does the venue matter? Of course. And let's take out Vegas for the sake of argument. Is it better for a fighter to fight in some small venue in NY to fight at MSG? Not every fighter can sell out big venues at these locations. It's symbolic of their drawing/star power.
