No announcement yet.
The idea that one has to fight in Vegas to validate their career is BS

The Tokyo Dome was a great atmosphere; still, imagine what it would've done for 'Buster' Douglas had the same fight been done in from of 25k people at Caesar's Palace in Las Vegas (MGM Grand didn't start hosting fights until 1994); an underachiever, fighting with a heavy heart due to the passing of his mother, summons the courage and fortitude to knockout the man that some folks saw as being unbeatable.
Or Duran, taking on the great Ray Leonard and beating him in Las Vegas.
Vasquez-Marquez had a great series of fights, and great fights can be had anywhere, but if you want the stage with the largest spectacle, Las Vegas blows every other venue out of the water, and it's basically been that for the last 30-35 years.
Las Vegas makes everything shine brighter
So what does being in Vegas do for anyones memories of these fights?
Nothing. You are just looking for the hype of the fight. There have been many, many, many duds in Vegas. So whats so great about a shiny turd?

The level of arrogance you display is beyond disgusting.
What are the nationalities of the participants of the largest grossing pay per view events ever sold?
Even Matchroom Boxing's Barry Hearn has said that the Anthony Joshua vs Deontay Wilder undisputed heavyweight championship fight would gross over 100 times more money in the U.S. Than in the U.K.
Last but not least, what country and sport was the first to draw the largest gate of any kind of entertainment in history?
Also, what nationalities were the fighters?
There, I rest my case.
