Will the Bars and Clubs in Las Vegas be showing the Hatton fight?

Will the fight be on in the bars and pubs or have you to watch it on close circuit TV ?

Just wondering as it becomes increasingly unlikely that I will be able to get fight tickets and the close circuit prices are not that cheap.

They do a lot of CCTV in other countries. In the Philippines they show live major fights in cinema theaters, and in the mall. It's more fun and crowds are loud.

If Setanta have the rights then yes. It'll cost money but they'll show it, especially at the Crown & Anchor on Tropicana although that place will be packed solid that whole weekend.

Most of the major casinos will show the fight on closed circuit TV, but you're right, it won't be cheap. I watched Lewis-Tyson on closed circuit in Vegas and it was about $60 per person.

In the US, most bars will NOT show PPV fights, because they're required to pay a huge fee to show a PPV fight, a bar can't just order a fight for $50 like a normal person can.
