    Evening folks,
    As we all know, this fight is humungous. Im totally desperate to see it, reminds me of the good 'ole days! Never have I known a build up like it as a poster on this forum, its bigger than Floyd-Hatton, or any Froch fight.

    For some reason though being caught up in all the madness I forgot how Im going to see the bloody fight as I dont have SKY(Or I would pay for this in a heartbeat) now theres no way Im going to rely on a dodgy internet feed, you just know its going to crash constantly! Fights too big.

    So Im going to head out to a boozer to watch, trouble is its PPV, & I dont know what pubs if any will be screening it(remember its Scotland, not the same love for boxing as you englanders, one of the few things I have to give you credit for;)) so Im just wondering how my fellow brit ESB'ers are going to enjoy this special boxing occasion?

    PS, if any of my jock comrades know of any pubs in Glasgow thats screening the fight, feel free to tell the dunkster:good

    I'd usually stay and watch this at home but I keep dropping hints to my mate who has a 50" 3D tv that we should watch it as his.

    Yeah no way ESB stays up on July 2nd. I'll probably just pay the box office and watch it at home on my own like a loser. I like watching fights on my own though. Might see if a few fancy coming round instead this time actually

    This fight is NOT as big as Hatton vs Mayweather! Not by a long way. The Americans couldn't give a rats arse about it and the general british public arnt talking about it like they were with hatton mayweather. This fight is not that big to be honest. It's a fight to see who's the 2nd best after Vitali in the shittest heavyweight era of all time. And one more thing... When was the last time you saw an exciting Wlad fight or an exciting Haye PPV? Exactly! Never! So on top of everything it's gunna be a **** fight a total anticlimax and much ado about nothing. Don't be too surprised if nobody throws a punch til round 7

    cannot agree my good man, OK so Ricky was fighting the best P4P & thats huge. However, this is the heavyweights, & you have a dominant champ like Wlad fighting a supertalented David Haye, AND both have chin issues!!!
    Only jealous americans never rated Wlad & as a result HBO dissed him, but true boxing fans KNOW this is THE fight. Thats why HBO have sneaked back in, it blows Hatton-Floyd out of the water.

    This fight will annihilate ESB regardless of the outcome. ESB can't sustain more than 500 boxing fans posting at the same time.

    **** that! I insist that i watch the big fights on my own! I prefer it that way. I simply can't have my big fight experience ruined by some idiots who know nothing about boxing blabbering on in my ear all the way through it. Iv got one knowledgable mate who understands boxing so Its ok to watch it with him because he knows boxing but when it's big fight time the rest of my mates and even my brother can **** off

    To say a fight involving that fat, drunken dwarf Hatton is bigger than a hw unification fight between a long standing champ ATG fighter and a proven box office success English heavyweight really is nonsense. Nobody in England had a clue who Mayweather was prior to Sky hyping the fight, hell, even now 99.99% of people in Britain couldn't tell you what weight he fights at.

    I'm sticking my neck out here but Haye vs Klitschko smashes the box office viewing record.
