I noticed he lives in Las Vegas, but why doesn't he fight outside of Vegas like NYC or LA or TX? What are your thoughts

Probably has to do with saving money and living in the city that has been hosting big fights before he even became big.

vegas has no taxes breh

if he does it in ny and la he'll pay like 35-40 mill in taxes

Vegas/Nevada doesn't tax for sporting events the way most other states do. That's why the proposed Mayweather-Pacquiao fight was not gonna happen in Texas, they tax events like a muthufukka.

Floyd is always about the best business decisions to have more money in his pocket.
