Floyd Mayweather vs Manny Pacquiao 2 makes way for Eagles concert
BoxingScene broke the news last week that Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao’s long-awaited rematch could be switching from Sphere to a different Vegas venue. And it has now been confirmed as rock legends Eagles have announced their very own gig on September 19.
Musical acts are likely to book the eye-catching venue for lengthy residencies in an effort to unfolded the fee of staging such a monumental visual event. UFC 306 was the one sporting event to ever happen there, and is believed to have cost Dana White and Turki Alalshikh tens of thousands and thousands.
Within the BoxingScene article, an anonymous source within the industry was quoted as saying: “It made no sense to place it at The Sphere – it’s not connected to a casino.”
Mayweather is currently slated to compete in two exhibitions before the highly-contentious rematch with Pacquiao. He was imagined to tackle Mike Tyson last month in Africa, and has a June 27 date with kickboxer Mike Zambidis booked in Athens which has actually been promoted and has tickets on sale.
