New Manny Pacquiao Stadium an issue for negotiating Floyd Mayweather Fight?

As of now, it seems all systems are go for Bob Arum to construct his stadium for Manny Pacquiao’s next fight on June 9th in Las Vegas. He met with the developers today and he’s says that it would take three months to construct and hold 38,000.

More details to come in my upcoming article. (Now posted: If You Build It…Will They Come?

One thing mentioned to me by Kevin Iole of Yahoo Sports is that this stadium would be part of the Wynn and Venetian group and not the MGM Grand, which has had a stranglehold on the boxing business in Las Vegas since the merger of the MGM Grand and the Mandalay Bay years ago.

Floyd Mayweather has a long-standing relationship with the MGM Grand and you wonder if this could become an issue in negotiating this fight.
