Are the workers at Mountaineer still on strike? Sleazy venue, but I had fun at the Tua vs Oquendo fight a few years ago.
I'm not sure about a worker's strike. I haven't been down there since Edner Cherry had a FNF telecast fight there in 06. In the interim, West Virginia legalized table games, so I am looking forward to playing some blackjack before and after the fights on Sunday.
