Today I booked tickets for the Mayweather vs Canelo Alvarez and my brother booked tickets for the Haye vs Fury fight. Matty told me that he wanted to see the Haye fight because it was the bigger fight and will be more entertaining, I personally think that watching floyd Mayweather in full flow is as good as it gets and in Canelo this is an opponent that could dethrone floyd! So I ask what fight will be better and which fight would you rather pay your money to watch?
There is more than one reason why I picked the Mayweather fight, the whole build up for a big fight in Las Vegas is just better to me. There is a buzz around the whole of Las Vegas and you meet loads of big name fighters who are in attendance. It just seems more special. I have been to Mayweather and Cotto fights in Las Vegas and compared to the bigger fights i have attended in Britain, Hatton vs Senchenko, Carl Thomson vs Eubank 2, tyson vs Savarese, Scott Harrison vs Chacon , Naseem Hamed vs Said lawall to name a few and I just think that nothing compares to the build up in Las Vegas. Little things like there being a decent boxing card on the Friday to get you warmed up, before the Mayweather fight against Cotto I got to watch one of my favourite fighters the night before in Daniel Ponce De Leon. It cost about £30 for the ticket and there was about 6 fights on the bill including Ishe Smith from the contender, you just don't get that over here. I would enjoy watching the Haye vs Fury fight but when it came to choosing 1 mayweather and vegas won everytime!
Far too much!!!! The tickets are costing just over a grand!!! But it is a massive fight and worth it imo. There are a few sites you can try ticketmate.com, ticketsource.com, stubhub.com. We could have waited to try and get them cheaper but me and the boys travelling decided we would rather have the tickets sorted so we didn't have to panic later. We used ticketmate.com for ours.
Need two and not willing to pay more than 1k for both so just been biding my time. When you flying out?
We fly out on the Wednesday and come back on the Monday mate. It will be awesome like!! When do you head over?
Coming from Aberdeen i can't go direct so I am flying to heathrow and then direct flight from there to Vegas with British Airways. I'm staying at Caesars Palace this time. The MGM was too expensive this time, especially after paying for the tickets!!
Tell me about it, paid £420 for flight and 6 nights in paris hotel for the hatton fight. Paid double this time and staying in Harrah's. Did stay at the MGM for the Hatton/Malinaggi fight. Are you related to Lee Mcallister being from Aberdeen?
Ha Ha, is he going too? or is he the brother going to the Fury fight. Would have thought he could have got you some tickets at face value at least. Gutted when i seen the pricing for this fight.
Nah, its my other brother Matty that has booked the Haye vs Fury fight, I think Lee might be heading there too. But it's Vegas all the way for me !!!! It's very hard to get tickets at face value unless you know one of the fighters or the promoter mate.
