bunch of others not really worth mentioning.....would love to go out for floyd/shane....but its tough to get a group together when most of your friends arent real hardcore boxing fans...not to mention not everyone has the money to blow

 

been to a bunch of local pro and am shows, the biggest cards ive been to were diaz malignaggi II, valuev vs barrett, and morales vs diaz was the best card ive been too, erik morales, david diaz, JCC jr, concepcion, juanma, solis, mayol almost every fight on that card was great

 

Never bothered to count, S, but must be thousands since the 1940s.

 

thanks for the info

I was HOOKED from the moment i got home in 89 & i watched a prog on Vegas at xmas & heard the noise/tunes & clatter of all the machines & the general hubub, the hair's on my arm stood upthe *******s

I was a Duran nut disciple & had never been to the states before, you did'nt really need that much to get there back then & as long as you avoided any serious gambling you could have a great time CHEAP as all the casino's then were all individuly owned & comped drinks & all yer could eat buffets, steak/Lobster for $5.00 ect, all to get you in, but thats all changed now what with the MGM having a monopoly.

I was sucking in massive $$$$$$$$ back then by helping myself to all that free credit the banks used to post to me by the way of plastic seeing that they thought i was an upstanding property developer going places

But if you can, then you've got to give it a shot at being at a top world title fight & there's no place like vegas, it's an education in itself for us brits & one for the better. I've always tried to get the best seats that the banks credit cards would allow me. You only live once after all:deal I've dug out most of the tickets stubs i've kept.

Duranimal you must have some awesome stories. Just viewing those ticket stubs is like a recent boxing history lesson :good

 

Any notable ones, JG? I love reading your posts. :good

 

Vegas ai'nt cheap anymore, well not as it used to be, every square inch is $$$$ costed & squeezed, but you've just got to take out of the town what you want & don't ****in gamble, unless thats what you want, I hang off strip & downtown & get glagged up on the cheap with the natives.

A Corona in the MGM Zuri bar or seahose/Caesars for example will cost yer $7/$9 a pop, **** cocktails start at $12. Checkout lasvegas.com for loads on info about buying yer nightclub open bar wristbands for $100 ect & use all the Casino coupon codes to get better room rates.

I've left a fortune in Vegas as i used to take the missis like a dumb **** that i was, i stopped all that after 97 when she just sat bitching all day in our VIP Cabana at treasure Island, **** that, NO MORE EVER!!! I go on my own & meet up maybe with some fellow brits & just do my own thing, so much to do there & see, it's ****in great & my $$$$$ are my own

But i'd always try & afford the best ticket available & up in the nose bleeds it's a ******* climbing up & up & up when yer've got 20 pints of Tecate swilling around & yer vision is blurred, nearer the better & it's an expereance that will stay with you for the rest of yer life.

Just look over the course of a year & count up how much you've frittered away $$$$ wise!!!! Focus on a fight date & find a way!! There's always a way amigo
