| jonfourtwenty Member since: Oct 11, 2010 Threads: 12 Posts: 42 | A few questions for any boxing fans. I will be arriving in vegas on July 2 at 14:10 for a week of hard gambling and was wondering if anyone could suggest somewhere where I could start this week by watching the Haye Klitschko title fight on tv? It takes place in Germany (+9 hours ahead of vegas time) on the same day, although I cannot find out the exact start time. Assuming it takes me at least until 15:30 to get checked in to my hotel (Bill's) from the airport, would it be all over by the time arrive? If not, where should I go to see the fight? Do they show these overseas fights in casino sportsbooks? Although I'm from England, I'd like to see Klitschko win and teach Haye a few lessons about respect. |

| odiousgambit Member since: Nov 9, 2009 Threads: 174 Posts: 2414 | Is there anything more ridiculous than to have two brothers both as Heavyweight champ, depending on which association? I guess since they don't want to fight each other, it works for that. The money seems to be on the Ukrainian. What's the skinny on Haye? As for your question about the time, I'd just be guessing. Seems that it would be mid-day here, possibly in the morning though. I would expect any casino with a decent sports book section would have it on.

| jonfourtwenty Member since: Oct 11, 2010 Threads: 12 Posts: 42 | The media love Haye in the UK especially after his David v Goliath win over the 7ft giant Valuev. You have to respect the fact that he has moved up from cruiser to heavyweight. Although smaller than most heavyweights, he is reckoned to have a lot of power. He's a showman but I think he comes over as arrogant even for a boxer whereas Wladimir Klitschko seems genuinely articulate and funny in all the interviews I've seen. |

Yeah, I know some guys in Edinburgh who love boxing still.

There are millions of Pacquiao fans in the Phillipines (and all over the world). The more defined question is, "Are there any heavyweight fans outside of the U.K.?" The explosive growth of mixed martial arts, led by the Fertitta brother's UFC has highjacked a whole generation of potential boxing fans. |
