Manny Pacquiao and Shane Mosley may have faced off in one of the least intimidating stare-down photos ever Friday at the MGM Grand Garden Arena. After Pacquiao and Mosley both made weight for their WBO welterweight title fight, which will air via pay-per-view at 6 p.m. Saturday, the two approached each other for their pose and broke into laughter.

As the public arena battle has raged between Caesars Entertainment and MGM Resorts International, Texas entrepreneur Chris Milam has quietly been assembling the building blocks for his own project on the Strip.

Sources confirm that Milam has signed the minor league baseball 51s to a contract, which would have them move from Cashman Field to a spectacular site behind Mandalay Bay. I have posted a rendering of the proposed complex at right – it would include a ballpark, a stadium and an arena.

The so-called Las Vegas National Sports Center ultimately is designed to house a major league soccer franchise and, if the stars align, an NBA team, too. This may sound like pie in the sky – and anyone who has lived here for awhile has heard this before – but Milam seems as determined and deliberative as anyone before him.

The Legislature is expected to be involved soon, helping Milam pass a measure that would allow him to create a taxing district on the land, which he is negotiating to buy from banks. This could all happen as soon as next week. Considering the project's proximity to one of its properties, I can't imagine the MGM folks will be too upset with this one.

I have also posted at right an economic impact statement Milam commissioned from local economist John Restrepo. It shows some fairly impressive numbers, including the creation of 2,710 jobs. You can hear lawmakers crowing about that number during a session in which they haven’t had much to crow about.

Could this be one step closer to a pro sports franchise? Let’s hope so.
