I hear PBF is gonna be in town and is apparently to do a public workout in an "east London boxing gym".

Anyone know what day he's arriving? Sounds like a pretty hectic schedule!

yes he is, cannot say as we dont want the place 'mobbed'

Will it be announced at all at any stage? I just happen to have Friday off + I live only a few minutes from the Peacock Gym and thought it might be there as it's a pretty famous place.

What's the deal with this fight being televised in the UK then? Has anything been signed yet, if they're over here promoting the fight, I'd think they expect to make some decent money out of the UK market. Anyone have any info on who's showing this fight?

Just realised also that the press conference on Thursday is in the hotel next to my work place - how lucky am I.

Nice one.

Feck paying £15 notes for this. Is every big fight going to be on PPV?

Don't want to pm me the venue do you, Eric?

Honestly

Would it be a case maybe it'll be announced a cpl of hours before the session starts?

Could you PM me too please Eric. I'd like to take the afternoon off to see this.

ditto.

Its hardly a public workout if noone knows where it is....

Its a press workout, not public workout,
Press conf is the landmark hotel thursday, work out is at the peacock gym friday, I think they will have security, and you need press credentials to attend, please dont say your with me, unlike someone did on sunday, and ended up getting thrown out!! if they had asked me 1st, I would have said yeah, but they did'nt

I will work on my hair and belly (cue rhino joke) and i will give that a go

you wiill need press credentials to attend.....

Eric, just to be clear are you referring to the press conference on today? The consensus seems to be that tomorrow at Peacock is open top all, right?

I expect the gym to be packed to the max and unfortunately Press will get priority whether it's an open workout or not.

He's live on set on Sky Sports News tonight around 630pm

The workout is 3pm at the Peacock on Friday. They told me it was definitely a public workout, because that is what Mayweather wanted. However, that is not to say how many will be allowed in because it's not the biggest of places (if big for a boxing gym).

I think the bigger the crowd, the happier they will be - it will make a good scene for 24/7

I would assume they don't know the difference between GMT and BST too

What a shame.I am working and can't get the time off -would absolutely love to see Mayweather train. Whoever goes from here, please put some good posts up as I would love to hear about it.A real hero of mine is Mayweather.

I'm going to go up a cpl of hours prior maybe, check it out, I can pop home for a cup of tea if I so desire.

Lucky git!!
