Me, i'm going to Coms to watch City beat Blackburn (hopefully), travel back from Manchester just in time to watch El Classico (hopfully), play on Fifa for a couple of hours, have a little kip and tune into the undercard, set am alarm for every 15 minutes between 3:30am-6am and drift in and out of consciousness untill the fight starts.
Whats everyone else doing for the fight?
Me, i got some plans to sit and watch the Gatti Ward trilogy and get right in the mood for a good war. Then my brother is havin a poker match with his mates at his house so headin over there, stick it to em on the table until the fight starts or i've run out of chips.
Can't wait now. Just been to the bookies to put a cheeky bet on. Only £3 per round but we'll see. Hatton to win Rnd 3 and Rnd 10. Good times
The fight isn't on until Sunday lunchtime where I am, so I will most likely get up in the morning and then bounce off the walls waiting for it to start.
Lose a few quid at Newmarket in the afternoon... have a few pints.
Lose a few more quid on the snooker in the evening... have a few pints.
Lose even a few more quid on the boxing during the night... have a few pints.
HUGE sleep in Sat morning - Breakfast in the garden (Gonna be Hot in England Sat):cool:
Lift some weights, shower and screw the missus;D
Go out and buy some clothes etc then get BANG on it from mid afternoon till 7am Sunday.
50 inch tv and two big sofas ready for the lads to come round n play FIFA or what not til the fighting starts,... prob get a take away too!... glamourous I know ;)
Carlsberg don't do boxing nights...but if they did...
Get up, pace the house till' 4 pm, lift weights for an hour, then pace the house until fight time. My usual ritual before a fight. I hven't been this anxious since Cotto/Margarito.
So are they expecting alot of Brits to be in Vegas for this one? Ilove the whole atmosphere they bring and that stupid Hatton Wonderland song they always sing at th most ridiculou moments;D My girl watches Hatton fight just for the drunk Brits singing;D

I mean hell, people flew over to watch Ricky fight Urango:rolleyes: Either really dedicated or really drunk or both probably.
I'd like to see how many of Mayweather's fans would fly over to England if bysome chance Hatton can ever get a rematch with him to be held in the UK. I bet 5 people would fly over, maybe. Gotta respect the support Ricky gets. He'll need it when he's laying on the canvas Saturday night;D
I wonder if it's a european thing linked in with european football. It's the same sort of fans - pretty much every Man City fan is a Hatton fan - me included. Most proper City fans wouldn't think twice about going abroad to watch city play in europe - financies permitting. Same with most european teams.Quote:

Sure america is that one step further but that probably makes it that little bit more exciting.
my wife & i will be heading for las vegas tomorrow morning.....we are staying at the m.g.m. grand friday & saturday night....we have two fight tickets ( nose bleeds ) but what the heck they were free !
scott
At moment undecided.
Am trying to find somewhere in Leeds staying open for it - that way I can go out about 1am and be nice and merry for fight time.
If I go out at 7pm and end up getting sluaghtered I increase my chances of sleeping right through the whole show - as I have done 2-3 times in the past....
But I don't want to stay in and just get up about 3.30.
Tough one.......
My mates are going on about Sports Bar or one of the Casino's but it's just staying awake until 4am that's the killer. Not so bad at home where you can have a few coffees and prop your eyes open with matchsticks.Quote:

Yeah that's the one.Quote:

Same as every big fight, we put the tv up on the wall in the garage and make a day out of it. We have the sober area inside the house and drinkers and smokers outside (cigeretts are okay too) We set up around 12 watch friday's fights replays of the 24/7 garbage then fight time, everyone's welcome as always...

On Saturday i will do a little gardening, do a bit of shopping, the in the evening enjoy a nice meal and glass of wine or 2 then have an early night.
Why? Is there a fight on? If there is you guys really need to get some threads going about these up and coming fights or we are never guna know that they are on.!!!
COME ON HATTON. In reality i will be shit faced in a pub with Boxoffice and a lock in, the telly will be blurred, i wont have a clue whats goin on and i will be gurgling all the Hatton songs like a rite twat.
Then i will have to watch the whole thing again when i wake up.
Oh and waking an older geezer,Consuming massive amounts of adult-beverages,mowing the lawn in my flip-flops,might go down to Jazzfest,firing up the grill on the deck with some buds and buddets,shining up the screen and tuning speakers.....inform the neighbors of in pending ear trauma...logging onto this fooking place and hoping we do not crash ala Hattom/Mayweather...:-X..Rinse and repeat! come about 12 am log off and watch the masses fall from the bans handed out :shinner:.
Rosary prayers for both Pac and Hatton.
What ever I do I just hope I dont get so pissed I miss the fight like I did for the Pac-ODLH:mad:
I paid 15 quid to stay in bed.:p
Nosebleeds are fine, its not like you are in a stadium or something so you'll have a great time! Lucky you! Enjoying the atmosphere and all, wow! Take lots of pics! Even from up there!Quote:

Will be going round to my mates 18th early on in the evening and stay there for a few hours. I'll be driving so I wont have any alcohol there. Just after midnight I'll drive home and call into a kebab house and grab myself some food. Get home, warm the food up and log on here while watching the undercard before the main event starts. Gonna be fucking awesome.
Practice with my band, kick it in the jacuzzi for a while, and get together for the fight. I wish I could someday watch a fight with some of you. It's more fun watching a fight with people that appreciate the sport, analyze the fight and not just go "Come on! Hit him! Beat him!", etc.
another reason to kick it.
I'm going to watch the fight card in Sunderland with my brothers, then we're coming back to my house where I'm going to do a bunch of barbeque stuff including beer can chickens and large quantities of charcoal grilled hot peppers. Lots of nice beer and some special cake to go with it all.
I'm in Australia so the undercard starts on Sunday 11.00am. (Monday is public holiday so it's not a typical sunday)
I'll set up the living room - two 50inch lcds transmitting the signal from one to the other using those gizmos with the ariels (look like mini mini satellites). Get the beer in the fridge and the steaks and sausages ready.
Crack a beer wait for my friends to rock up and cook a bbq and get pissed watching my most highly anticipated fight since Hatton v Floyd.
Continue to drink after the fight (celebration/drowning sorrows). Have a game of poker. Drink some more.
