It looks as though things got rough for some fans at the Floyd Mayweather Jr. fight this past weekend. The Clark County Fire Department reported that there was a stampede of people leaving the MGM Grand Arena.

Reports say a wall unit fell over creating a loud banging noise that some said sounded like a gunshot. This led to hundreds of people running out of the arena. Sixty people were treated for injuries; twenty-four had to be taken to area hospitals.
