I'm also on a stag in Amsterdam that weekend!

Dave...is that you???
Haha! Not Dave mate.
I've been out there twice before. Can recall plenty of pubs and bars that showed the footy til midnight but not so sure about boxing at 3am. Anyone know of any pubs or bars that would?

North End are at Colchester last day of the season on the Sunday, 12:15 kickoff, if we've been promoted or we're still in with a chance of automatics, I'll be there. There's no trains because it's bank holiday weekend and there's engineering works on the line, leaving a coach/car journey, so I'll have to set off early in the morning and the fight won't start until 5/6. The more I think about it, I'm not going to be watching.

Same boat for me. Definitely going Wolves away (we will probably be relegated by then anyway but could potentially still be in with a shout of staying up). Early kick off, on the booze all day no way will I manage to stay awake until 5. Equally no way I will be in a position to be sensible enough to go home at a sensible time have a couple of hours kip and then meet up with mates to watch it. I foresee me pissed up watching/sleeping through it and remembering nothing about it. Only to wake up on Sunday and watch it again.

I'll probably Sky Plus it. Don't want to stay up to 5am to watch it.

Fulham are not going up this year (what a nightmare this season is and it's not over, trust me), so no trips back home for the playoffs.

Having said that, fight will be around 6am French time so there's no way I can watch it live in bar in Paris. I'll therefore watch it at home trying to stay up all night :zzz:

Hopefully in a bar in Reykjavik. Away for the weekend and didn't even think about the fight because I was convinced it wouldn't happen. Will do some checking before I go to see if they have any sports bars that are likely to show it.

If you watch a Mayweather fight in a London casino brace yourself for 'the Mayweather crowd'. Boxing connoisseurs they ain't. Riddick Blowe I'm sure well remembers that sordid episode.

There will be tickets on sale for closed circuit screenings in hotels on & off the strip.
Have you seen the prices of hotels over the weekend of the fight?!!

I had a look the other day, absolutely exhorbitant, the MGM grand which is usually 99 dollars for a standard room, was charging 1300 USD for the night of the fight and the night before it.

Even the shitty hotels like Excalibur are still charging 300 USD a night!!

EFF that - I would like to watch it in a big space with lots of people though.

This is really for ballers & it's attracting high flyers & show offs as it's the biggest sporting event of all time money wise id say off the strip aka Texas station & get involved in the expieriance. You need to know people in high places & even wazza has to graft here!
