    I just had a call from my laywer letting me know my business has been sold. So plenty of time on my hands and a few quid in my pocket, its time for me to forfill a life long ambition and Sit Ringside at a Huge World Title fight in Vegas!

    Theres some big ones coming up, which one do you guys reckon I should break my vegas virginaty to. I want it to be a guarenteed Classic that I can talk about for years to come!

    From a boxing purist point of view Pac Man marquez. From a british fan and british history point of view Hopkins calzaghe.

    just my opinion.

    Yeh I get the feeling Hopkins vs JC is gonna be a stinker! But the atmosphere will be incredible!

    Rob - you are a big Khan fan and the preference seems to be for him to fight there next. Probably the day (or hours) before Calzaghe to suit ITV so you could get to see both if you went over then.

    More importantly how much did you sell your business for?

    Why stop at just one fight, go see the lot...

    Tricky one. Pacman fight for action.

    JC fight if you want to see Bhops schooled. Onyl drawback is that most Bhops fights are stinkers as he runs round the ring for 12 rounds.

    Its computer software thats used by businesses all around the world for all there Administration others things. I had patent on alot of the ideas which is why it has made money and been so valuble.Like an Intranet. Its done very well in a very short space of time and its got to the point where I could not manage it as I had been working 20 hour days since leaving Uni last year.

    Its enough money to live of very very comfortably for the rest of my life If i invest it properly. (Just had a brain wave for on here, A stocks and shares game with boxers, for exp if you had invested in Joe Calzaghe before he foguht Lacy or Pavlik before Mirando you would no have more).

    Anyway I am now going to spend more time with my girlfriend who is from France and is still studying. travel. I am also going to learn how to box and see some great matches. I was due to be in the states next weekend for Taylor vs Pavlik 2 but I am seeing WWE that night LOL (I am not really a fan but me and a friend though it would be fun) so I may hit Manny Pac vs JMM.

    I can't really tell to many peopel that actually know me about which is probs why i brought it up in here as your kind of like friends but what we do and what we earn doesnt mean anything, we just talk boxing which is cool.

    Well done mate. Good luck in your future ventures and learn a lesson from Tyson about hangers on (doubt you will as you appear to have your head screwed on).

    Might as well go see both fights. Now every day you get these big super fights. You never know what the weight divisions are going to be like tomorrow (just look at the heavy weight division) so make the most and enjoy these big super fights.
