    I give a thumbs up to the British hosting more big fights. The start time was perfect for me. I like watching fights in the late afternoon after golf. It reminds me of the old big network broadcasts in the 70's and 80's.

    The crowd seemed into the fight unlike some of the Vegas royalty. And it's a big crowd. I like to see big crowds for fights. When I made them turn the boxing matches on in the clubhouse the first comment I heard was "I didn't know boxing was so popular anymore."

    No complaints from this American on big fights in any town so long as they show up in those kind of numbers. I think it's good for boxing.

    cheapest tickets in the binocular seats were $100. Jealousy seems to be creeping in.

    Las Vegas is where the biggest fights are. Las Vegas is where the best clash with each other. Las Vegas is where the best boxers from all over the world cash in on their talents.

    Eh? This statement makes no sense, every fighter is different, you cant just lump them all in based on nationality.

    Its a healthy thing that Boxing is getting this sort of support as a live attraction. Only the narrowminded or the Ultra nationalist boxing fan would disagree.

    Nice to see Boxing so popular.

    Each boxer is different. Yes America has nad many many top fighters I agree, however other nations around the globe also have had good top level fighters of their own.

    What can someone even say in reply to something so stupid as that.

    Name me the superior American boxers during the reign of Lewis.
