    Well? Where can I go to watch the Mayweather vs Cotto fight. Just got in to town a few days ago.
    I also want to start boxing here so some gym suggestions would be greatly appreciated as well.:bbb

    The Victoria Hotel in Leichhardt
    http://thevictoriahotel.net.au/

    they get just about every boxing PPV. (edit: come to think of it i have never called them up to see if they had a fight on and been told no)

    I shall definately be there for mayweather VS Cotto

    Also North Sydney and South Sydney have good PCYC boxing gyms. then there is Mundine's Gym in Redfern as well....
    haven't really been to any other boxing gyms in Sydney apart from those 3

    Thanks man I will be there. Come say hello if you hear an American accent on a 27 year old with short hair. I am starting out my job and then will hit one of those gyms in a few weeks, cheers.

    PCYc is the way to for training, cheap as **** and usually a good coach with big classes

    I'll second the Victoria Hotel. It's a decent pub and generally gets a good boxing crowd.
