    Was coming to vegas anyway to watch mayweather train...was able to get a pac ticket for 180 so now going to the fight. Been here since Wednesday... I am excited to see the fight regardless of the first...however the atmosphere is lame. I just walked into the weigh in thinking it was cancelled because the hallways were quiet and it was so effortless to get in.

    There have been people who have asked about going to vegas on mayweather weekend even if they are not attending the fight. I will say that there is mayweather fight week then there is everyone else....to include pac. Vegas feels so normal right now. Definitely not electrifying.

    To be fair I am comparing to when I went to may v guerrero, as to compare it to cotto or canelo would be too much of a mismatch. Its so dead in the arena at the weigh in

    Not a hate thread but just stating facts.

    I walked in at 1:50 thinking im gonna have a hard time

    May vs
    -Cotto had to be in line by 1100 to get in
    -Guerrero I showed about 1245
    -Alvarez I didnt get in. I showed up at 1100 but people started at 0900

    I walked into the lobby today at 150 and asked the usher if I missed the weighin...
    Inside its a decent crowd but something I would expect from anyone not named mayweather or pacquiao

    Its dead. I was about to walk out but saw roy jones so I am going to try to meet him afterwards

    I look forward to the main event tomorrow though

    I feel more than anything, this cold war is seriously hurting top rank/hbo. They just dont have that HUGE fight feel they have in years past. Pacquiao vs Bradley (to me) seems like another Arum filler fight. I dunno, maybe by tomorrow I will be amped, but right now I am not near as excited as I should be.

    You are spot on. Top rank has a weak card. I dont care what is being shown on tv. This **** is dead as well as vegas

    looks like it's packed
     
  9. Im here too. The venue is packed for the way in but that's free. Tomorrows attendance will tell the truth, The gate tickets will be cheaper by the hour.
    Definitely not like a Mayweather fight, but it's okay. No celebs yet. Top Rank has fallin completely off.
