mayweather / pac-man fight

so if I understand correctly, you can only watch the fight at the mgm properties, and that viewing party will cost you $150.00. will any of the local bars or sports bars being showing the pay per view event?

A Guide to Mayweather-Paquiao Parties in Las Vegas. If DonDiego were in town he'd likely choose to spend the evening with Puff Daddy at Havana Room Beach Club.

Or, . . . here's a cheaper alternative: TMZ reports the fight will be telecast for free throughout Mexico ! ! ! DonDiego opines watching the fight at a bar in Tijuana, Nogales, El Paso, Nuevo Laredo, or Matamoros would be cheaper than a las vegas party, even including travel expenses.

Pay per view is only 20.00 pounds in UK.
After reading more about the Moneyman and his issues with Women - I will not be buying the PPV. I'd like to see Pac-Man win; but I would not bet on it.

I think I saw directv advertising it for a hundred bucks, I'm not that interested. I also saw a headline on yahoo(?) that a ringside seat was 161K? not long ago. I didn't click on it so not sure about that. I know prices get more and more outrageous all the time.

Seems like every time I've paid to watch one of these fights its over in 2 rounds. I've heard actual tickets are being sold for over 100k on the secondary market. I hope for the attendees sake the fight isn't over in 5 minutes.

Tyson fights were cruel back when he was a contender/champ. Maybe this fight will be over in 2 rounds, more likely 8 or 10.

I just returned from Laughlin. The Edgewater is showing the fight in a venue for only $60 a person. I think I saw Harrahs selling it for their outdoor venue at $50 (including two free drinks). It is only 1 hr 45 mins away to get the fight at a decent rate.

I was just watching a special on showtime about the fight. Apparently back when Dela Hoya fought Mayweather it was the same way, except Oscar was picking the weight, gloves, and money split. I guess whomever is on top can dictate.

An article from CNBC website. Interview also that's pretty cool.
