Pittsburghers Suck! Any real spots bars???

Whats up Pittsburgh? I can not believe that the only place in the state of PA showing tonights fight is Phili.

Any suggestions? Home to watch tonights fight! Where do all of Pittsburgh boxing fans hang?

Peace out

Never saw Ali associated with Houston before always thought it was Louisville, KY.

So where do we find the results of the tournament?
