Why does Floyd Mayweather Jr Only Fight in Las Vegas?

[Marvel]

mgm pays him to fight there.

they make big profits in the casino when he has a ppv fight

This. Its all about the money. That is why he continues to see the lion's share of the money. The people that run the casinos love Money May because he brings people in. Just ask any sportsbook they will tell you.

Why doesn't he ever let his home state host one of his fights?

Because their in debt?

Walk into the mgm grand and youll know why
Floyd shyt everywhere

 

[Tony D'Amato]

I heard the injections or medicine he uses for his hands is only legal in a few spots. Nevada being 1.

 

[PremierDaTruth]

If I was a boxer I'd never want to fight in Texas, that open scoring is awful.

 

[Ego Noir]

1. Nevada has no state income tax therefore keeping about 10 million a year that would've went to Uncle Sam

2. Gambling is legal in Nevada, commanding him a higher purse, because his fights will generate THAT much more money.

3. MGM is the Mecca of boxing mega fights. Him swearing loyalty to it assures he is DON of that arena. May benefits included there. Such as? A close fight, no judge based in Nevada will decide against him.


Wins all around.

 

[Ethnic Cleansing]

A close fight, no judge based in Nevada will decide against him.

How bout a draw in a mismatch

 

[EducatedBrothaFromTheBank]

He also gets % of certain hotels that are owned by MGM, since a Mayweather fight weekend is a HUGE draw in Las Vegas... dude sets the whole city on fire for a weekend.
