    On holiday in Vegas from scotland when the fight is on. Missed out on tickets although i might try "scalpers" while there.

    Any recommendations for somewhere that will be screening the fight?

    cheers in advance

    Only that i had two friends Scalp tickets for Hatton Mayweather, only to turn up and not be allowed in and told the tickets were fake.

    So be careful buying of the streets

    Here's the link to watch it in the MGM on closed circuit for $50.00

    http://www.mgmgrand.com/entertainment/grand-garden-arena.aspx

    On the friday & saturday there'll be 1000's of unsold scalper tickets hitting the strip, they'll be realeased through the ticket booths that you'll see outside the MGM & in all casino's where discounted tickets will be up for grabs. You'll see the queues at these outlets as you walk down the strip.

    This is the usual goldenboy carve up as they always give around 80%+ of the tickets to the scalper/agencies. But in my expeareance in vegas it's always been the case of all mayweather fights actually bomb out as he's no fan base. It's always been DLH/Hatton/Marquez that where the draws, also the MGM always keep plenty back for comps to high rollers. Whenever a major fight takes place now at the MGM the only seats realeased to the public are a couple of 100 nosebleed & semi-nosebleeds & the lower level corner sections. All centre & ground level block tickets go to the agencies & affiliate promoters.

    As the other feller said: DO NOT BUY FROM SOME **** WALKING ABOUT FANNING HIMSELF WITH A CLUTCHFULL OF TICKETS:nono

    These MGM tickets are the most simple to fake & i've seen many a poor ****er get up too the security screens before we enter the grand garden arena only to see the little old lady scan their ticket & say sorry "It's FAKE":yep
