Who doesn’t love a huge fight?
Marquee boxing matches,
despite the naysayers who proclaim the sky is falling, are still huge sporting
events. There’s a reason that the top two people on the recently released
Forbes magazine list of the highest grossing pro athletes are boxers.
A lot of things need to come
together for a huge event. You obviously need fighters who can make a good
fight, and who people want to see. But you also need a good location. The
atmosphere in the arena, the fans, the host city can make or break an event.
While we can’t take care of
the fighters part of the equation, we certainly can rank the 10 best cities to
host a marquee boxing event. (Source)
