are you gon buy gatti vs mayweather?

wasnt aimed at you tracey. got that the wrong way round hey. FM was awesome at the weekend. his best perfomance by a country mile, i was a bit shicked by Gatti, standing off floyd and with sucha wide stance, played right into his hands he need to drag him into the trenches not box him form 5 feet away. takes nothing away from FM though, he was excellent. If hatotn fights FM at madision sqaure G, ill be there. count on it. :boxing: Ive never seen Floyd look sharper, nor did I think he could hit that hard! He definately impressed me! :eek:

wow, things have definately picked up then..very cool. Any idea who Khan is going to face in his pro debut?? by the way, I stopped bitching about the hatton fight a while back, so there! :p :D wasnt aimed at you tracey. got that the wrong way round hey.

Anyone know what time the card starts (EST)? EST on comcast says 8:30, but like they usually do, they will spend alot of time talking about the fighters, etc....long before any of the action starts. My schedule says it runs to 1:30 am, so the card must be decently loaded.

I love Gatti, I love Mayweather. I can't tell if this is a win win or a loselose situation for me. whatever the case, i'll be watching it live for sure.

all that hype I love seeing mayweather fight,,although all that hype over nothing to get that pay per view money ,,aint no losers in this one,,,and although its all hype for no reason,,as gatti will get tattooed im gonna get the fight...

9 eastern time i believe

Anyone know what time the card starts (EST)?

As I do with almost every pay per view that I order, I keep telling myself that I'm not going to shell out more money to watch tv that I already pay $100/month for. I'll break down about an hour before fight time though and end up buying it. I didn't break down for the Tyson/McBride fight though...I just watched real boxers on HBO after dark.

Yeah...I'm saving some money for the Hopkins fight...(the formula and the pampers are gettin me broke :D ) no kidding man...I know! Been there and done that. Thankfully the babe will evuentally move up to real food. and then you can worry about buying named brand clothes, after a few yr's anyway. They ALL expect them, belive me! :eek:

Thanx Tracy, but I don't have VHS.. :( Go Gatti! :) Hate to hear that man :confused: you are gonna watch with friends right?

no thats not true at the moment, we get fight once a week on fridays usually since hatton won its gone apeshit, we had 6 hrs of boxing last week on one channel. we get aobut 4 hrs a week on eurosport but its dull stuff most the time, another few hours on channel 4 and 5 at silly o clock onthe morning but you could tape it if you can be bothered. Its getting better with Amir khan turning pro warne has moved to IV a terrestrial channel so no we actually get competetive brit title fights on sky for achange rather than some spurious alphabet belt. the game is on the up in the uk. and can people STOP going on about hattopn fouling for gods sake, your allowed to clinch and if youy wanna talk about rabbit punching check the clinch in the 7th when kostya smacks hatton 6 times in the back the head as the ref is calling break.Hit him 3 times low beofre hatton retaliated. :rolleyes: it was a rough fight get over it. some of you lot are proper whinging babies. :rolleyes: wow, things have definately picked up then..very cool.

lol, my hbo and showtime, etc. arent free either, but I'm still having to shell out the bucks! Oh well, I guess I wont begrudge you seeing this fight for "more or less" free (or nothing extra) ...but only this time! :D Seriously, I know how limited the available action is over in the UK, and I think it sucks much! From what I hear, they only show a few, select popular fighters..except, of course, for Hatton! no thats not true at the moment, we get fight once a week on fridays usually since hatton won its gone apeshit, we had 6 hrs of boxing last week on one channel. we get aobut 4 hrs a week on eurosport but its dull stuff most the time, another few hours on channel 4 and 5 at silly o clock onthe morning but you could tape it if you can be bothered.

Hell yes I'm going to buy it...and only to see Gatti. He is GOD. Put some food on the man's plate, will ya??

Record it and send me a copy... :D You can just tape the replay a week later...I don't have two VCR's to make a copy. :D

I changed my mind I am ordering it now:)

No, I'll wait for the replay or go to a bar to see it...I'm saving my money for the Hopkins-Taylor fight... I just hope that HBO replays the complete card not just the Floyd fight...I want to see Calderon and Harris.. HBO will just replay the main event as usual.

Me to man.. btw I'm gonna tell someone to record it and buy it off of them on the net... I'll ask SpinxJinx if he can burn me the whole ppv on DVD and I will mail him the money...Since his one of the most trustworthy people on here. I'd be glad to make you both a copy of the whole card, if you want. It's VHS..is that okay? I believe I've taped for Borikua (I think!!) but never for you before. Interested?

To us, boxing is special. Unfortunately to them it's a business, just like any other, and they're going to try to capture every stream of revenue they can.

That's why it's NOT like inviting friends over to watch. The bar is making money by showing the PPV (from food and liquor sales) and HBO PPV wants a piece of the action. I totally 'get' why they feel that way, I just think it's bullshit. So greedy..like they ppv fee isnt high enough and they dont make a killing anyway!
