Staples Center In Play For Wilder vs Fury?

[Rip Chudd]

Still no date or venue huh? But I thought that's why Deyonce wouldn't sign to fight Joshua?

But this fight with Fury is all signed, sealed and delivered, huh?

Sure.

Surely you're not that dense you don't see the difference in Wilder's team dictating when and where the fight is happening as opposed to his team not knowing when and where it would happen right? His team knows this fight his happening this year, with Hearn they didn't know when and where.

That’s not Staples Center. It’s one of the Vegas arenas.

I know it's for T Mobile.

It's just interesting considering Vegas seemed like the desired location.

Crucial element is being ignored here. LA became the favorite after Nevada refused to budge on neutral officials. Wilder and Fury are both fine with one local commission judge, one UK judge and one neutral judge. Nevada said no, so Fury refused to fight in Nevada unless they budged. Will someone blink? If not, to LA it goes.

[KTFOKING]

They can just do MGM Grand. Doesn't have to be T Mobile. Probably wouldn't sell out T Mobile anyway.

T-Mobile or bust it seems like.

Dig the Staples for this fight. Seems like Staples could become the West Coast Barclays for the PBC.

Gotta put Leo on the UC. Or maybe the Tank/Mares fight takes place on the UC?

you got a point here but fury will blink. Why would he want to pay 13% tax to CA plus LA city tax on top of federal tax of 39.6%?

Someone will talk him out of it.

staples will never has as many boxing events as Barclays. With the Lakers Kings clippers and the amount of concerts they do they just don’t have as many dates available as Barclays plus Barclays is way more committed to boxing than staples.

Of course, but the PBC can start to put on four or so cards at the Staples Center every year. Obviously LA is a great fight town. PBC does have a lot of West Coast fighters from around that area so it makes sense.

Yeah, I just thought some people might think that meant Staples was out of the running and wanted to clarify.

Actually Vegas fell out of favor for a while because the commission became very unreasonable and authoritarian in (mostly not) approving matches.

That doesn’t affect main events, but the undercards where promoters are trying to build their future guys were getting rejected with perfectly reasonable fights between, say, some 15-0 prospect against a 10-5 guy who had never been stopped and had lost only good matches. And if an opponent fell out, they would just make them cancel the fight by not approving a replacement.

Promoters basically said ‘we’ll take our business elsewhere’ and Nevada finally started coming around in the last couple of years.

unless its GBP, then we get three blowouts and a 90 minute wait

That's a lot of taxes to argue over refs in a fight that won't go to the cards.
