Fight is big boost to Vegas: 'Pawn Stars' Harrison

Expect the Floyd Mayweather-Manny Pacquiao fight to provide a substantial boost to the Las Vegas economy, reality star and pawn shop owner Rick Harrison said Friday.

"Hundreds of millions of dollars will be spent there this weekend," said Harrison, whose Gold and Silver Pawn Shop is the subject of the History Channel show "Pawn Stars."

"It's absolute insanity in Vegas this weekend."

The highly anticipated bout takes place on Saturday night at the MGM Grand, and Harrison expects those who lose money in the fight to start showing up at his door that same night.
