Well, whether there will he hooky streams to watch or not, the BBC have announced they're broadcasting the fight live on Radio 5 from 3.30am.
That'll do for me, instead of chasing my tail trying to watch it on buffer! |

Long time since I listened to a fight on the radio TT. I think the last one was when Herbie Hide was knocking Riddick Bowe all around the ring on his way to a down-six-times-until-KO'd-in-the-sixth effort!

The MGM Grand was pretty much sold out before tickets even went on sale. And the 500 that were available to the public went in 30 seconds.
But tickets on the second-sale market have been re-sold for thousands of pounds. Earlier in the week, a front-row, ringside seat was being offered for an eye watering $350,005.25 (£231,500) on StubHub, although they had dropped to $117,005.25 (£77,277) by Saturday. Out of your price range? How about one of MGM's other Vegas venues? Around 150,000 tickets, at $150 a go, were available to watch the fight on closed-circuit screens elsewhere in Sin City. One of those on the re-sale market will set you back about at least $250, with some getting up to $1,600. |

Fair point Brendan. We live in metrosexual times and so grown men rubbing their crotches in each others faces as B-Hop so memorably put it whilst having no great interest for some of us old timers may well appeal to youngsters. I put some of boxings problems down to the marketing, hype and degeneracy of the Tyson era. There's only so much WWF style nonsense you can foist on people before it descends into farce. It's a sweet science epitomised by the ongoing struggle between brain and brawn and a younger generation brought up on hyperbole and theatrics may well lean towards the, "I want to eat your babies" lunacy of Tyson rather than the, "you can eat my left jab, right cross and uppercuts" of Lewis. Tyson was taught a painful lesson and found humility that night. The UFC/MMA generation clearly didn't learn.

Was a Exhibition and then a masterclass, timing and super hype for the moneymen of PPV and mayweather/paxo. I fear we will see another hype fight after mayweather contractual fight in september. Rumours already started on a PPV tv auction for mayweather in new year...bigger in dollars than last night.
paco requiring painkiller injections for right shoulder injury 5 days before the fight.... then interviewed after the fight.... A bit comedy from manny..." I thought I won" |

With an eye on another mega fight I don't think, "he whipped me and there was nothing I could do" would be the biggest seller. People may be gullible but surely not that gullible?
