“I feel what I’ll do is persist with a Purchase-In match and get to wrestling a little later as a result of we’re right here on the West Coast with an early start time for Purchase-In. Actually, the Purchase-In will start at 4:00 p.m. Pacific and 7:00 p.m. Jap,” he mentioned.
“I feel wrestling-wise, we’ll get to that a little bit later and set the tempo for the motion. It is a massive weekend in sports activities. I used to be right here 10 years in the past in Las Vegas for the Manny Pacquiao vs. Timothy Bradley world title struggle on the MGM Grand in 2012. It is fairly superb as a result of in 2012 within the NBA Convention Finals, you had the Warmth and the Celtics that they made it to a game seven. . Right here we’re 10 years later, and there is a likelihood we may see the Warmth and the Celtics at this level, we do not know, however we may go to game seven.”
“If I have been to go to a game seven, now we have a contingency plan. We’ll start with a dwell Pay-Per-View stream in all probability proper earlier than the game begins, however I do not care if it lasts lengthy, even when it went into time beyond regulation, I am planning forward. I considered this lengthy earlier than I had any thought it might be the Warmth and the Celtics, which is fairly superb 10 years later.”
“However having been in Vegas for that struggle and remembering the lengthy delay as a result of they did not wish to put the primary occasion of the world title within the ring for Pacquiao vs. Bradley until the game was over and actually figuring that out, it was a lengthy delay. . We’ll have some nice motion on the best way. That is going to be a tremendous present. There’s a lot in retailer and it may be a nice night time. Identical to with the UFC or the most important boxing matches, you are going to get this massive prize struggle.”
“I promise that Hangman Page vs. CM Punk for the world championship will not get within the ring until after game seven, if there’s a game seven. So it is left open even to die-hard followers of these groups if there’s a Warmth-Celtics game seven. I promise, identical to Bob Arum did, one other promoter right here in Vegas, mentioned that Pacquiao-Bradley was not going to get within the ring, I promise, we’ll delay it as a result of we deliberate it forward of time in case there isn’t any game seven. understanding who it might be. However it might not even occur, but when it does, we’re ready.”
“Identical to the UFC and boxing, when that essential occasion hits the ring, it may be the proper time, however we’ll have a nice present with nice motion. There are already nice matches on the cardboard from prime to backside. We do not have the identical outlet on Pay-Per-View that we usually do, the identical outlet on the identical time. So it is fascinating as a result of for some motive, if we predict it is sensible so as to add extra motion, now we have that functionality.”
