Good stuff, anyone thinking of going?

Nah











funny i think he might get a few turning up for this... guess he got educated in the hatton fight on how much money the UK fans bring to the sport.


good for him

Why would he come here, no one likes him (except Man Utd fans) and they all live abroad.

YEAH!!

A few mins down the road from work

He's easily the greates fighter of our era and has skills to burn.

I'll get some pics and bug him for a quick interview

Stepson LOVES Floyd and just woke him up to tell him he's off school Friday

He saw him on Sky news before School today and is upstairs getting his little Everlast gloves ready for a signing hahaha

Haha.

Like Saddo said it's probably because he knows how much money comes in from round our way. With him knocking out Hatton plenty in the UK have heard of him.

I mean the amount of people I heard talking about the Pac fight.

Joe Smith... "see that packyyow/peekaiyaw/picachu knock Hatton out?

Normal guy..... "Oh yeah Pacman"

Joe Smith... "No.......the fight on Saturday night"

Jammy sod, I'll look forward to the pics fella.

How does a British presser make money for the promotion? It's not like thousands of Brits are going to fly over and it's not going to be PPV on British telly. Sky would never do this as a PPV, would they?

I've took the day off work to travel down from Derby....I will be worth it!

What goes on at these things? Is it literally just Floyd training for a while and you can see him doing his thing? Or will you see sparring too? Or will there be opportunities to get things signed and a bit of a meet and greet? Thanks in advance

I've a feeling it will be ppv. Sky are showing interviews, Floyd is in the studio tonight so yeah i'd imagine it is. Doubt it's on normal Sky Sports.
