May in Las Vegas. I get about ten of my boys (the usual road trip crew) to head to Vegas and get a big suite at Caesars or the Bellagio or somewhere... and have a pre-fight BOXINGSCENE MESSAGE BOARD get together (bring your own food, though LOL). Anybody planning or thinking about going to the fight???
I'm flying out to vegas with the Hatton brigade. I just got my university overdraft extended, and I'm going to cut down on ps3 games. I will still only be able to buy nosebleed seats though. The £ does not stretch that far anymore.
I figure I will need about £1000.
£400 flights
£200 for two nights 1 star hotel
£200 for my ticket
£200 for my food and drink
No gambling for me though.
I think a decent seat will cost quite alot more. I want to get as close as i can. But maybe the atmosphere makes up for being far away.
I'd love to go, never been to the U.S before. But I'd be a lost boy out there lol, don't have any people I could bring who would be boxing fans.
Same here. I cant find anyone who is a real boxing fan willing to pay so much for a fight.
But i think il go anyway. I keep hearing Las Vegas is one place u can really enjoy on ur own, there is so much going on.
It will be my first time too. Im saving up my pennies.The fight is almost garenteed excitment. Not like a Floyd or Oscar fight.
What's up Iceman ?
I'll definitely be out there for fight weekend, which is also my birthday month, so I have yet another reason to take another Vegas trip for a big fight !
Got a chance to go to the recent De La Hoya-Pacquiao fight, and it was a great experience. My first time attending a bona fide Mega Fight for a boxing event.
I thought about this fight or the Margarito Cotto rematch, if Shane don't spoil it, what would be the furthest out you would sit for either of these fights if they happen in Vegas Ice?
To tell u the truth, I don't worry much about that. I just like to be there for the event of it all. If I sit in a decent seat that's OK with me and if I cannot see all that well, WELL, that's OK too....I just like to BE there...if I need to I can watch it on tape later...however, with that said, I always buy the cheapest ticket available and see where that takes me...me and the crew bought 50 dollar seats for Jones-Ruiz in 2003 and still ended up way down close to the ring, not far from one of the Wayan's brothers LOL
ANYONE ELSE going out for it or what? Come on, boys
