    Yeah, i don't like Vegas. The crowd seems dead. Like they show up cause they have too or something. Not loud.

    I haven't been to Vegas, perhaps as much for my penchant for excessive gambling as anything else.

    I think holding it anywhere in England or in Phillipines would open up boxing to a much larger audience.

    Something wihch HBO *sorry, DLH - he runs HBO* should consider.

    Would it not cost more to get to the Phillipines? I know someone who went (from England) and i think his return was over 1k!
