According to the LA Times. Whatever the reason for it, it's probably better that this fight is happening in Los Angeles.
Good, now that casinos are going down the shitter, fight will be available to the rest of the country...
I definitely wasn't trying to go to vegas to see margarito whup mosley, but @olympic&fig i'll probably go. supposedly the mma card in anahiem will hurt ticket sales but we shall see. I expect a good crowd for this fight unless tickets are outrageously priced.
That was my thinking - for a $4.5 million price tag, and whatever site fee comes with it, I can easily envision a Taylor-Wright scenario. Unless of course AEGolden is willing to step up in a big way.
But that aside, I'm glad to see that promoters are willing to give real cities one more crack at embracing the sport. Even if there's additional motivation behind the move
