Good stuff, anyone thinking of going?
Nah ;D
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. ;D

Stepson LOVES Floyd and just woke him up to tell him he's off school Friday;D
He saw him on Sky news before School today and is upstairs getting his little Everlast gloves ready for a signing hahaha
Haha.Quote:

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.Quote:

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!:cool:
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.Quote:

Got there and it was mobbed so i phoned the Gym from outside..
"Hi it's Simon from saddoboxing.com blah blah blah"
"Yeah we heard of you...just come round the side entrance no problem and ask for Tony"
Had the missus and the 2 step kids and just strolled in;D
People had been outside with no hope of getting in since 10am but we were in within 5 mins.
the missus was having a chinwag with Floyds mum about smoking etc then Floyd bowled in and we were the first to see him!
Stepson got both his gloves signed , missus got a kiss and got some pics too.
Will upload them in a bit.;D
Great day but f*cking hot as fuck in there.
Fans loved him loads.
Top fella.
Quality mate - well doneQuote:

Emailed the pics to Saddo as there too big
emailed them back, compressed... didn't wanna steal your thunder.
quality shots mate the stepson must have been made up ;)
Went along as one of the hordes of people smash saw unable to get in, and didn't, was so close before it all kicked off as some dickheads tried to rush the door. Then sat outside for fuckin hours, apart from a brief balcony appearance from Uncle Roger, but did get to shove my camera inside Jermain Defoe's ferrari & temporarily blind the bastard. Also jammed with Ola Afolabi, who's friends with my trainer, and it appeared to rub off as someone asked for a picture convinced that I was Kell Brook (no I don't look at all like him) so I obliged, and ended up having to do a few :-X;D
Then after hours Floyd came out on the balcony, with the fans waiting largely young kids from the ends, and Floyd didn't disappoint us, talking to fans signing gloves, before coming down to sign things before his security finally decided it was time to go. As he left in his Merc with his ridiculously fine girl, he did say cool to me from inside the car as he went past, and he definitely did his best to make sure those of us who'd been outside for hours got something. For me, it was definitely worth it seeing and feeling I got some kind of acknowledgement from the guy who'd truly made me a boxing fan as kid.

A lot of people feel that way, I've noticed, I have to admit part of me did worry that he wouldn't be all that I had hoped for, but he did fulfill everything I thought of him. Today also showed one thing that I've always said which is that Mayweather's popularity in the urban areas of London at least is unparalleled, maybe only with Roy Jones. He also seems to be proving at present that the 'Money May' attitude is really just a facade to sell fights.Quote:
