Ya from what I heard $180 million even if he loses in the first round. I'd take a dive for that money.

If Mayweather loses in a blockbuster fight of the ages; you can only imagine what re-match will bring in.

Regardless of who wins, Vegas will be hopping and raking it in.

The MGM arena only holds around 16,000, but all 300,000 hotel rooms in the city are sold out this weekend. People just want to be here for it. The Riviera is closing forever in four days, but they're getting around $900 per room Friday and Saturday. It was reported the little hotels in Primm, about an hour away, were getting $150 a night instead of their usual $30-$40. If you can even find one, the cheapest seat way up in the nosebleed section is selling for over 4 grand. All the luxury boxes at the clubs are gone. Taxi companies are putting out extra cars. Airlines are staging larger planes than normal for their routes coming/leaving here.

I believe I'll be staying as far away from the Strip as I can this weekend.

I missed Woodstock too.
