Photos from my trip to see Morales vs Pacquiao

[!! Mr. Soprano]

Bozo,

Seems like you had fun

Nice pics!

[Bozo_no no]

so what did roy have to say??

Aw man that was crazy. I have mad respect for Roy, but never thought I'd run into him. It was Friday night at the MGM grand and I had a few drinks in me. I was walking in the lobby in the MGM Grand and turn around to see Roy walking right in my direction. He was glowing under the 1000s of lights and wearing a sparkling diamong thing around his neck.

Standing in front of him, he looked much taller than I'd thought. I'm 5'10, and he seemed a bit taller, so I was suprized.

He stopped and I walked right towards him and stuck my hand out. He shook my hand, and all that came out was "Wow Roy, its such a thrill to meet you". He smiled and said "Thanks I apreciate that.

I pulled out my program and sharpie and he signed it. By that time, the fact I was getting him to sign something tipped people off, and a crowd gathered. I snapped the photo, he signed a few more autograph and literally had to run off.

It was great. I then ran into him the next day before the fight when he was in his Tux ready to go on HBO. Again, he took a minute to talk. He's a great guy.

Yeah you can often get into places by just acting like you belong too. You'd be surprised at how well that works. Others don't know, they're too worried about upsetting the status quo, so they'll often let you in without bothering you. Most people want to avoid confrontation as much as possible, I've found.

And if you want to try looking official, you can make a fake press pass pretty easily. I've an uncle who made one years ago and got all these super up close pictures of Queen Elizabeth somewhere (hell if I know why he was anywhere that Queen Elizabeth would be, but that wasn't the point).

When I was filming my student film, often while someone would be asking if we could film, I'd be getting some of the shots I needed anyhow without asking. This one restaurant, they came trying to kick us out eventually, but it'd been like 15 minutes and I got every shot I wanted anyhow. Ended up cutting it from the movie though. Didn't get the other footage I wanted that would've been complimentary to it. Wouldn't have made as much sense.

Congratulations, you're now as intelligent as a dolphin.

Anyway, about the whole McGirt thing. The truth is, he doesn't even know how Gatti is going to do it.

Those are great pictures,I want to go to a big fight in Vegas some day.

[Tha Greatest]

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.

Hey man, IMO goin to the fights at Vegas are the BEST experience
We drove there cuz we live in Sacramento, we didnt stay at a cheap hotel because it was a vacation and we didnt just come for the fight, my dad his gf, my bro n his gf all said they wanted to go to vegas and they asked me "when should we go" I said lets go around thanksgiving so we can watch the Barrera-Morales 3!!
Cuz it was only about 3 weeks away and perfect timing to go, we stayed at Treasure Islands, and I always wanted to go to the MGM grand cuz i was so excited, I always kept a sharpie on me in case if i see someone, damn, I miss vegas ever since seein the fights last night at caesars palace...

The first day i got there it was thanksgiving and I didnt know Merchant and them all had dinner at the mgm, but i checked out the casino the first night i got there(2 days b4 the fight) and i sneeaked into the grand garden arena and I went stood where the ring waas supposed to be made, when I went in there at first I was like wtf this aint what it looks like on tv and this is ****ING SMALL(good and bad thing lol) The day of the fight I realised it was bigger than it actually looks hahahaha

I went back to the mgm the day of the weigh in just i dunno cuz i wanted to go back to the grand arena and mgm in case if i see anyone, then some guy tells me the weigh in starts at 3 so i went at 2, I see all the fighters come out to get weighed, I see Oscar De La Hoya comin out, the crowd gets VERY rowdy and all cheerin for their fighter, unfortunately I was sittin with the Morales fans but im a barrera fan

AFter everyone gets weighed u see Barrera come to the front and flexing his biceps and triceps and starts pointin to the people that yell "Barrera!" then DLH walks in with his $100000000000000 suit lol, then people yell at him and he just points...

Barrera left from the back obviously cuz it was the day b4 the fight, but u see Morales walkin through the front to go through the casino HAHAHAHAHAHA

During the weigh in Ivan Calderon and Nedal Hussein were walkin around givin autographs, and i talked to Calderon for like 20 seconds haha.....

I was like damn where all the fighters at, then I see Floyd Mayweather Sr. come from the front and he starts signnin my barrera poster like he's never gave a autograph b4 hahah took him like 5 minutes to sign something(just exxagerating)

Then DLH left from the back!!!!!****in *****!!!!!

The day of fight time didnt see anyone till the fight was finished and i went to the front n i saw mosley and yelled MOSLEY and he prolly didnt hear me cuz winky whooped his ass pretty good lol
I see Corrales then i yell CORRALES and he says be right back man

but then the ****in ****** ass MGM grand guards kick us all out mother****in *******s!lol

Then u see JC chavez jr signin say i just say julio then he acts like he's a big shot n dont listen to me after i say his name a few times and I know he heard me...that's why i'm gonna knock his mother****in ass out when i'm pro! I swear to god after that I was like I cant wait to go pro and knock him out!"

My dad was in a rush, then when he was gettin his camera from the place, I saw Jim Lampley and got his autograph...

**** I should've just stayed there without my dad! lol

at least I met Lampley lol

but goin to the fights are the best

Meeting RJJ would of been insane, i reckon he would of worn thick shoes or something, cos celebrities are not only self-conscious but height conscious, they wanna look tall as possible.
