    Me and my boys are close to booking tickets. Payday is on Friday!!!

    Haye has had to take a back seat but I'm sure he'll understand, I need the cash for Vegas. Whats funny is he may have more chance of winning but if Ricky wins and I'm there, it's something I'll tell my grandkids about.

    So Vegas for 10 days - here I come!

    Head count:
    Me, Scrappy and one more mate.
    Hitman_Hatton and one mate.
    TAM83 on his lonesome.
    GazOC and three mates.
    stuey and one mate.
    Versastyle and two mates.
    BaronBrad and ???.
    Jersey Joe and ???.

    Yep, me and 3 mates will be there but we could only get enough time off work for 5 nights/ 6 days. Shame really as the hotels are pretty cheap in the week, it doesn't cost much to extend your visit.

    The Hatton site says priority for tickets from their allocation will be given to people who have travelled aboard to watch Ricky before (fair enough) so if you've havn't done that getting them direct from the MGM might be the best bet.

    That's what I'm thinking, the only downside is you won't be in with the Hatton fans.

    There anrn't going to be any other type of fans....;)

    I'm pretty sure they arn't segregating the fans in any case, I'm sure I read that on the hatton site as well.

    Sayin that though the 10,000 that went to the Castillo fight that was probably their summer holiday. With it being so close to Christmas, although it's a bigger fight, might be fewer fans flying over.

    Went to Castillo and have booked the flights and hotel for Mayweather. Only going to 3 nights this time.

    I'm interested to see how the priority seats will work as they are yet to announce anything. I'd rather buy from ticketmaster as the UK outlet seems a little mickey mouse.

    I did want to see Haye fight but it is a shame that the two fights are so close together.

    Maybe 15,000 of us. I want Floyd to be pissed off that he has no one there for him.
