A really interesting take on th final stages of the pre-fight build up. Although it comes from a British perspective, which might take some getting used to I think some of the charecter assessments are very entertaining. The paragraph on De La Hoya's current career staus definately made chuckle slightly.

Thanks for posting the article, it was a good read.

This caught my attention:

Fourteen-thousand closed circuit seats, at £24 a pop, have been sold in seven of the MGM's Vegas casinos, while 180 countries are broadcasting the fight, with 50m people expected to tune in in China.

Impressive!

Yeah, I didn't even realise the chinese were into boxing, although i guess in a country that big all you need is a few per cent of people to be interested to get huge numbers.......

......DAMN, I should go and get me some money in China
