treeduck Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 QUOTE (liquidcrystalcompass @ Feb 19 2010, 05:18 PM) Will the Cowboys Stadium aka The Death Star aka Jerry World aka Boss Hogg Bowl be the new Madison Square Garden of boxing? No, I don't think so, but with the tax situation favourable to foreigners, Pac may have more than one more fight there, if he carries on long enough...

Are you taking into account the Latin population in this area and their love for boxing? ps Jerry is looking forward to many more fights in the new stadium.

Fighters won't agree to fight there if they think the judges and ref won't give them a fair shake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
treeduck Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 (edited) But the main thing is Vegas, Vegas can top any site fee by anyone else for any big fight. They beat Jerry's bid for The aborted Mayweather-Pac fight so it appears Dallas will always be getting Vegas leftovers, unless they have a local marquee fighter, but that's where my other point about fair or infair judges comes in. The other guy will always call for Neutral ground. Edited February 19, 2010 by treeduck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boxing is alive and well in D/FW. The Golden Boy promotes a fight in downtown Fort Worth every year and it's nice to see Jerry adding more fights in the area.

Vegas has probably been on top since about 1978. I still say you need a few local stars to build huge interest. Like we have Ricky Hatton and Amir Khan (and others) here. You have Diaz and Rock Juarez and others but none of them are that big. Diaz is a fairly big draw but he lost his biggest fights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

treeduck Posted March 14, 2010 Share Posted March 14, 2010 Easy peasy win for Pac. Josh went the distance by virtue of his earmuff defence and a concrete chin but it was very one-sided.
