    Coincidentally I will be watching 80's porn to stay up and keep me awake for the fight!

    Rip off if they charge for the weigh in and I hope no one turns up

    I've never attended a weigh-in even for free. Doubtful I would actually pay to go to one.

    Its strange that they say all the proceeds will go to charity and the are just using as a form of crowd control. Why couldn't they just say show your tickets to the fight to get a free pass to the weigh in. While supplies last. If anyone deserves to see the weigh in, its those people that are already paying those crazy prices for the fight.

    Just comes off strange that this first time that they ever charged for a weigh-in and one fighter just bought a mansion and the other is buying $25,000 mouthpieces.
    They want your @$$ beat because upsets make news. News brings about excitement, excitement brings about ratings. The objective is to bring you up to the tower and tear your @$$ down. And if you don't believe that, you're crazy.

    Thats the worst idea ever. The fans who are going to this are mainly celebs who wont care about the weigh in and rich people who are going to the event because its fashionable, again wont care about the weigh in.

    I have no trouble with them charging for the weigh in if the proceeds go to charity. The weigh in for Maidana fight was bedlam, this one be 20 times worse.

    It's all going to charity though.

    If they can fill the place with people willing to pay, what's the issue? Were you going to be there otherwise?

    Of course the thing is way overdue and has lost luster, but any "real boxing fan" who claims they aren't at all interested is just being dramatic.
