    I would of gone but didn't find out till like 3 hours before so couldn't, on the news it looked mental though... that gym was too small they should of done it in a larger place or something, I am glad I didn't go to be fair because it would have been a waste of money getting down to London.

    Obviously none of it is Maywweather's fault himself, he just agreed to it and turned up to train and that I doubt he organized any of it, the organizers are to blame for picking such a small place and planning it so badly, it should have been more secured and organized, as somebody said though they might have not expected such a turnout.

    Wolfey did you travel all the way from Chicago to London to see it? I would feel bad for you if you did and missed it.

    Hopefully there will be another opportunity in the future with better planning (there would be this time), and I could go.

      Well.

      I got there at 1pm, no one was allowed in then, onyl memebers and people associated with the gym were getting in. Was aorund 75 people there when i got there at 1pm.

      Also as someone said above, around 2pm the gym were selling pictures (5 pound a pic) and gave out these foam hands. I borught 2 pictures, hoping i could get them signed and the gym were selling themfor that reason. The gym knowingly ripped us off (explained below).

      Around 3pm, there was at least 400-500 people there, i was clsoe to the doors, but not close enough. SOme people were being let in at that point but must have been only 10 people.

      Floyd Mayweather did not arrive until around 4:10pm. At this point alot more people had arrived, Floyd went in through the side and got mobbed as you may seen in some pics. Roger decided to come in through the front, the area was packed, could barely breath. Surprised no one got seriously injured. He got in and as he did alot of people pushed to get in, probably another 10 made it inside. Alot of people kept forcing and they shut the doors and a window got broke, so they put the shutters down on the door. My pictures got completely messed up and bent.

      Some people left after this, not alot though, i stayed as i had that hope in my mind i could still get in lol. Like 5:30pm, people in the gym started to say how it was never ment to be an open workout. (so ripped us off selling the pics, making us think otherwise)

      Around 6:45pm, Floyd came out on the balcony signed some stuff then came down to the side and signed some more stuff. Left really soon after.

      Overall, very badly organised. Around 20 people got let in, the rest of the people in the gym as you see, were associates and members of the gym. Should have found out where Marquez was at, and hunted down his signature instead lol.
