^^^^this sums it up; I hate I will have to line up extra early for the weigh in this time

How early are you getting there? I may have to pay someone to stand in line for me. I don't have it in me to stand there, lol.

Thats especially true whenever Floyd fights

OK, maybe you won't hate to admit it, lol.

Experiencing fight week for a big fight, in Las Vegas, is better than the fight itself.

And as much as I know you will hate to admit it, the city surrounds itself around a Mayweather fight. He brings in a crazy amount of revenue for Vegas when he fights.

so true. best part is running into random fighters at bars and shooting the **** for a few.

IDK since I'm staying at the MGM I won't have to go far. The Ghost fight I just walked right in a hr after the doors open I know that won't be the case this time.

I did the same thing for the Pacquiao/De La Hoya fight back in the day. Didn't plan it but the fight ended up coinciding with trip I already planned. A lot of places on the strip will show the fight but have a large cover. I watched it at the old ESPN Zone in the NY/NY but I don't think its there anymore.
And yes fight week in vegas is fun even if you don't have tix. Saw tons of celebrities and even ran into Mike Tyson in the Mandalay Bay and got a pic. Good luck.

Don't say that I need somewhere to watch my Cowboys on the two Sundays I will be in Vegas after the fight.

All the MGM associated properties will have close circuit. MGM, Monte Carlo, Mirage, etc.

"Hyde" at Bellagio is also having a viewing party.

I'll be at LVH watching NFL on Sunday. Best place for football hands down, imo.
