Saving up for Vagas

[wiganboxer]

Hiya guys im just looking for some serious info really i got layed off from work a few week ago and start back in the morning. So its gonna take me a good 4-5 weeks saveing up before i can book my flights and hotel for the Hatton-Mayweather fight. So around about sept 7 and i sould have enough to book then will i still be able to get a quite decent deal then?? im hopeing to go from thurs the 6th dec to mon the 10th dec. If i did have the money it whould be booked now but thats the way it goes im just worried that the packages will go to like over a grand wich is no good i have seen 1s for like £580 plus today so cant be payin that. Even if i cant get the fight ticket i aint botherd just aslong as i can be over tere flyin the flag would some 1 whos been to vagas be able to let me know and give me some good advice thanks.

Is it defo Vegas?

LA has been mentioned because of the Staples Center. Great venue, but horrid city unless you stay about 40 miles away at Santa Monica or somewhere like that.

Also American papers have reported a lack of open venues in vegas that night, which is why I guess the venue hasn't been confirmed'.

A few ticket sites have Spice Girls at MGM on Dec 8. Mandalay Bay only has 12,000 capacity - there will be that many football shirt Mancs and too small for the fight.

Thomas and Mack Arena is booked for the annual rodeo that week so hotels are possibly pretty expensive with 20,000 cowboys in town.

The thing is, they (GBP) will have looked into the venue situation BEFORE announcing a date. They couldn't release the fight without having 'some' idea of where it was going to be...

1) Vegas MGM
2) Staples Centre
3) MSG

I think it will be Vegas as GBP, PBF are based west coast.
