Team Pacquiao declined to fight at Staples Center

The Pacquiao-Mayweather fight apparently will not happen in Dallas after Mayweather's representative canceled a scheduled visit for a site survey at Cowboys Stadium. Staples Center offered $20M to host the fight, but team Pacquiao has declined the offer. Pacquiao's adviser, Michael Koncz believes Mayweather himself won’t agree to fight there either.

Michael Koncz, said he and a Pacquiao accountant have estimated that the boxer would owe a California tax bill they estimate at $3.5 million to $5 million.

Koncz said without assurances that Pacquiao's tax bill would be paid with a larger total purse, "Manny doesn't want to fight in California," when the alternatives are no state taxes if the scheduled March 13 bout were fought in Nevada or Texas.

So the fight would likely to happen at MGM Grand in Las Vegas, NV.
