Star studded boxing event? | Cage, Arnold & Sly may attend Clash in Cotai

The highly anticipated Pacquiao–Algieri fight to be staged at the Venetian Cotai Arena on Nov 23 “has the celebrity rumor mill overheating with excitement,” a source close to the event told the Times.
This is partly due to the celebrity sightings this week at Venetian’s Bellini Lounge where five of the world’s greatest musicians performed an intimate masterclass of classic rock and roll. David Beckham and his entourage came to see the show on Saturday along with a who’s who of the casino industry. “Celeb names such as Stallone and Schwarzenegger were being buzzed about as possible fight attendees and one fan mentioned that Nicolas Cage might be in attendance.”
All three have a relationship with Venetian and have made appearances in the past. Asian celebs rumored to attend the HBO global broadcast event ranged from action film stars to pop stars, and business “royalty” from HK and China.

Furthering these rumors, sightings of Sands China’s CEO Edward Tracy huddling with high profile media executives from the US and China also encouraged speculation.
If part of the gossip is accurate, Venetian stands to offer up “another powerful entertainment event that furthers the global reputation of Macau as a leader in unique entertainment offerings,” an industry source said. They added that in these times of gaming revenue slowdown, “this can’t be but a positive thing for the city.”
MDT was unable to confirm the information by closing time.
The largest gathering of Hollywood and Asian stars in Macau occurred in October last year, when over 80 celebrities from Asia and around the world attended the Huading Awards. Attendees included Hollywood household names Quentin Tarantino, Nicolas Cage, Nicole Kidman, Jeremy Irons, Matthew Perry and Sam Worthington, rocker Avril Lavigne, and veteran Academy Award show director Don Mischer. Jackie Chan, Hu Jun, Liu Xiaoqing, Joey Yung, Nick Cheung, Raymond Lam and Ono Lisa were among some of the Asian stars in attendance at the show, which took place at the Venetian. MDT
