    Yes. It's worth it. You should buy it on every television in your home as well as purchasing a stream from showtime. You can buy the stream from showtime on your PC, laptop, mobile phone, iPad, or any other junk you have. Buy it on all of them.

      do you know if they are going to air the fight in movie theaters in the los angeles area? how much does it cost to get in for those?
      Personally, I wouldn't order the PPV if I was watching it by myself; did that once, on the Sunday after Mayweather-Alvarez, largely because I'd been out at with my brother and his friends, and the drinking left the night in a bit of a blur, and was happy that I did see the full show the second time around.

      Check the bars/strip clubs around you, for venues hosting the event (casuals are more than hooked on this one), or Fathom Events for a theater near you.

      $40 plus refreshments seems to be the standard everywhere I've looked near me; if the $100 is no deal, spend the $40 at the theater, another $10-$15 on concessions at the theater, and then find something else to do with the other $40 after the fight.

        i have social anxiety so i don't do the bar or strip club scene. might go to a theater instead.

          Honestly, it's not worth it.

          Go to a bar instead.

          It's only £20 here and I don't think I'd be happy paying that full amount let alone $100.

            im considering going to the theaters, it's only $40

            but the environment is going to be so trashy and ill be going alone so it's kinda worrying me.

                it is a sideshow but a spectacular event. something you won't want to miss trust me.

                  Um, dude, you have a computer, so Stream It. Not like a big screen TV, but my laptop has a 16" screen. Good enough to Watch, and then I assume they'll have the replay live on Next Weekend, on SHO, so I can Watch on TV.

                    No Bars showing anywhere near me. I'll Stream though.
