    At home with my son, a few wheat beers some chicken and pizza up all night, my son's on about
    getting a bottle of Grey-goose vodka lovely stuff.
    This is a bit special biggest money fight in history up to now,! I don't think it will turn out to be
    spectacular, but well worth a watch.

    Im getting really excited now. Been watching classic Manny fights all week and though he has had soft performances there have also been some killers. I hope Manny has his output and a seek to kill mentality. None of this 'Im getting old and soft nonsense'. I shall preface the card with a 2 mile walk up the hills followed by pulled pork and a jacket potato. This is the highlife! And the fight is free!

    Aren't you suppose to do the two miles after the pulled pork?

    Mad isn't it. I am not sure if Miles has actually moved across the world or back in time to the 1960's and 70's when even here we had things like that and public services rather than monopolised piles of doo doo run for the benefit of rich bar stewards and shareholders.

    Hopefully the fight will be a vintage throwback too, with the rollercoaster type of action we sometimes had then.

    Your logic does seem better, but being a contrary sort my mind is made up. Exercise first thing while the people are recovering from the weekend then my fill of the lovely calorie rich and heart destroying meat.

    Keep the faith. Public services and free boxing can return as soon as Murdoch and mainstream party politics is fully rejected. Greens and TUSC are possible counters. It starts with a Manny win, then everyone can see the status quo is impermanent.

    Pay per view here is around $60 US so I'm definitely not buying it. It's not that I can't afford it, you can do lotsa things here with $60. It's like $60 x 10 in value here. So it's worth to wait a couple hours instead to watch the free telecast here, plus 5-10 mins of commercials in-between rounds. It's been like that for decades here except there were less commercials before. No complaining though cuz I got to watch all the major boxing events ever since, the Ali fights, the 'no mas', Hearns, Hagler and Leonard to the de la Hoya fights. Here in the Phils, it's common for some neighborhood shops to set up big screen tv's to show Manny's fights to the public for free and there will be one at our neighborhood just several blocks away from my place and so if I feel like joining the lynch mobs I might take a little hike.
    Once in awhile, get outside in fresh air, take a deep breath & with a deep sigh, let out all the things that's bottled up inside you & be free, & you'll get a glimpse of nirvana.

    It is wrong and that is why comparison is so important. Because of me, you know that Americans and Brits are getting fleeced and people in Asia are not. Sometimes people think I am just rubbing your noses in it, but I do it because I care. You guys deserve better and it is only with comparisons that people can see differences. There isn't even a British fighter to justify being fleeced! It's madness.
