    Photos from my trip to see Morales vs Pacquiao

    It was the 1st time I went to see a big fight live, and I snapped some good pics I thought I'd share...

    This is the ring being constructed the Thursday before the fight.

    This is when I was asking Buddy McGirt about how Gatti was going
    to beat Mayweather. (He told me it was G14 Classified)

              No, just a fan.

              My advice to any fan is to go to the venue the night before and just walk in and check things out. No one stopped me, so I just walked in to Grand Garden Arena on the Thrursday night and just checked things out.


              I got to the weigh in (I emailed Greg Leon and asked him when and where) and just showed up early and got a ton of autographs and photos. Everyone I met was very approchable and made time. I met so many fighters and boxing people.

                    It wasn't even as expensive as you'd think.

                    It was more about just deciding I was going to do it.

                    I stayed at a cheap motel literally right across the street from the MGM Grand. It was realy cost effective to say the least.

                    Airfair to Vegas is often cheap if you look around for chartered flights etc.

                    Aside from that it was a ticket to the fight. I bought all that in December, and just saved up a bit of spending cash. When I was in Vegas I ate at some cheap places and drank as much free liquer as I could.

                    I spent most of my time in and around the fight, thus keeping the ******** to a minimum.

                    It was a great card with one of Shelly Finkle's young fighters on the off TV bout, then the Arce and Hussein fight, and of course Manny and Morales. Because it was such a good fight, I promised myself I'd go back for a rematch.
