Boxing HOF is a pretty big joke compared to other sports where Elite of the Elite get in.
Boxing inducts anyone who's been in the game or a few title fights..... and smh at inducting people still working in Boxing....
Freddie Roach, really?
Micky Ward HOF? ughhhh
what next, give fat naz a go?

Is Roach really that bad a trainer? I cant complain to much about him.
Ward isnt in.
Either way the weekend is great.

For all the events on HOF grounds there is no cost. So all the lectures, fist casting, workouts etc are all free. Alot of the fighters are on the grounds throughout the day.
From about 6Pm on there is a small restaurant/bar across the street and almost all the fighters hang out there each night. Great place for autographs, pictures and fun conversation.
As for the paid events the dinner is the most expensive but I usually skip to watch what ever fights are on. This year Pacquiao vs Bradley PPV is that night.
The ****tail party is a rip its like $50 and last an hour. Friday night event is ok but nothing special.
The best paid event is the BBQ/golf tourney. Its pricey at $85 but all you can eat BBQ and beer all day. Plus a bunch of fighters come through all day. Its the best place for autographs etc all weekend.
