Could Rahman's Next Bout be in Baltimore?

I thought this was an interesting tidbit from the blog of Baltimore Sun columnist Rick Mease, who is joining Lem Satterfield in coverage of tonight's WBC Heavyweight Championship between Champ Hasim Rahman and James Toney in Atlantic City.

According to Mease, Rahman's promoter Bob Arum said that if Rahman gets past Toney tonight, he wants to put his next bout in front of Rahman's home crowd in Baltimore, possibly at M&T Bank Stadium.

Arum went on to tell Mease that he believes that Rahman can revitalize the heavyweight division and eventually be exclusively a pay-per-view boxer.

There could be more riding on this bout than we thought!
