    Hey guys

    I was thinking, rather than sitting about at home alone watching the fight this Saturday, whether there's anywhere in London that will be screening the full evening? I was thinking that there must be a sports bar showing the undercard and main event and it'd be nice to hang out with some fellow boxing fans and have a few beers. I know it's on really late but just wondering if anyone knew a place?

    Casinos cannot show live sport.

    I used to always go to Casino's to watch the boxing. I watched Hatton Mayweather Woods Tarver and Calzaghe BHop and Hatton Lazcano all at casinos mainly because it was a guaranteed way of watching the fight without paying.

    only place ive ever known show 4am fights is in the local battle cruiser.....but obviously you have to be in with the in crowd.

    you have no chance of just rocking up somewhere and seeing it imo.....

    unless you get in early and ask.

    Nowhere ever breaks rules, ever :lol:

    Every casino in Leeds had the Hatton vs Mayweather and Pacquiao fights..... and almost all the pubs across the city had streamed Leeds vs Bristol Rovers illegally last year.

    The police called in at our local only half a mile from the ground to check the score and see whether we were promoted or not :lol:

    Dunno but my local one showed the Pac-Marg fight and play sport almost every time I'm in there.

    The Gala are always showing live sport. :think

    My local Rileys are showing Pac-Mosely so I dunno if that's a national thing.

    Not all Rileys have Sky Sports anymore but it's definitely shown at a few of the bigger ones.

    I thought if they have a SKY Sports for business package there shouldn't be any problems
