BOXING greats Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather Jr. have already agreed to stage their much-awaited, highly publicized mega-fight at the MGM Grand Garden Arena, but former boxing champion Gerry Peñalosa thinks that the Cowboys Arena in Dallas is a better venue.
“MGM Grand is okay because many classic fights were held there. But the Dallas Cowboys Arena in Texas can accommodate 80,000 people from all around the world. Also, taxes are cheaper than in Vegas,” said the former World Boxing Council super flyweight and World Boxing Organization bantamweight champion.
He added that People’s Champ Pacquiao is “safer” in Texas.
“At least sa Texas safe si Manny kesa sa Vegas na dominated ni Mayweather,” he said.
In case of a rematch, Peñalosa wishes that a clause be included in the contract to hold it in the Philippines.
Negotiations for the megafight have made significant progress in recent weeks, as both parties also agreed on the drug testing protocols, which is likely to be an Olympic-style drug testing.
