we do not know all the reasoning behind this. to my understanding, pbf has a commited date to the mgm grand garden that holds around 17k. his incarceration date was stayed because he has agreed to a fight in vegas and nowhere else.
this fight could be held in cowboys stadium and would probably sell 50k if not more.
this fight is way too big to be limited at the mgm.
for the record, if the same pbf that fought ortiz, ssm and jmm shows up to this fight, i dont see pac winning.
he'll be countered and busted up all night.

thy're not going to pay 1500 for bleacher seats. they'll be paying 350-800. floor seating will generate the same as arena at 1200 and upwards.
paq/clottey did over 50k not to mention peripherals(parking,concession,merchandise,liqour). i agree that the fight should be right now but arum does have a valid argument.
the only reason pbf wants this fight right here and right now is he knows that he probably cannot lose. mosely and jmm have both probably advised him as such.
and i have this feeling that paq now knows that he cannot win but wants the payout before he loses. thats why hes pushing for the fight as well.
pbf is money in this fight. the last time i was this confident was wlad over haye.
For the record, when there was a "huge whiff" of a pacman floyd fight out there, (2) Vegas books opened with a line, identical line of Floyd -145. And I really, really, wish they hadn't done that. How in the hell can the quote, and I mean quote "pound for pound" king of the sport be an underdog in ANY fight? Well, he's not. The King of this sport has been recognized as the betting favorite, as he should be.
You really had to read no further on this thread than the guy that said "Pacman will get countered and busted up all night". That dude hit it right on the head.
FOR THE RECORD, I think Floyd is an arrogant ASS......the only reason hes on my avitar is because I've made nice cheese on that dude since 2004, and look at the record book, Floyd to win has paid FAT in the last 8 years. And it aint stoppin now...
IF THIS FIGHT EVER HAPPENS !!!!
This Fight WILL be held pretty much on Floyd's terms, regarding location, split, drug testing, etc. He's a dick, but face it, he's the undefeated fighter, with nothing to prove. Pacman might be called the best pound for pound fighter. Well, there will be a lot of pounding if this fight happens.
It will be those pounding the pound for pound best, getting pounded by the books. Take whatever the opening line gift may be, because it will be the closest, and I mean closest thing to even money you'll ever get betting on Mayweather in a long time. And I've had my ears on for a long time now, and the PacMan hype is no different than any other fight dating back to Diego Coralles (R.I.P. Diego, the sport of boxing sorely misses you). And Floyd destroyed Diego. The closest floyd "hypes" might be DeLaHoya, an easy decision for Floyd, / or Ricky Hatton .....who got (KTFO)
So anyone not willing to listen, take your pounding. But let me give you the rundown, and let it ring in the ears of a pacquio bettor like the jaws music, all the way to fight night. This line will open with Floyd as the favorite, and as logic prevails, it will be right at, or slightly above 2/1 by fight night. When it does, remember it like jaws music.
i wounder if keep duckin may has a list ready with all his excuses to check off.
