    Any of you guys been out to America for a fight?

    I'm thinking if Oscar fights again I will probablly go, on my own no doubt.

    What kind of prince range am I looking at,

    Say from London to L.Vegas or LA, tickets for the fight, hotel room.

    I'm thinkin £1000 all together, is that realistic? :huh

    I went to Hopkins-Pavlik and was there (New York then Atlantic City) for a long weekend. A grand should do you.

    So even if there is no British involvement, there would be something in a mag? say for Oscar-Chavez jr. in LA?

    There won't be and those packages aren't the best way to go anyway. I booked my flights with BA, hotel with hotels.com and my fight tickets direct and picked them up when I got there.

    You can usually undercut the price of these package deals if you are prepared to spend a little time looking stuff up online.
    1k doesnn't sound too bad to me depending on the fight itself but I'd be pretty sure you can do it a bit cheaper

    you could go cheaper than a grand sterling i have never been stateside for a fight but know people who have gone for around 700 sterling 4 star hotel, decent seats and flights

    if you plan on getting some vegas hookers yeah a grand will be good
