Cant see how it can be a 4am start time in the UK as that would mean it starts at 8pm in Vegas. Major headline fights in Vegas normally start around 10pm.

The Mayweather v Pacquiao fight started just after 5.30am in the UK so I would imagine this will be similar.

The Pacquiao fight was delayed by the TV due to huge numbers of late PPV orders in the US. They were discussing this on the 5 Live boxing podcast yesterday. First I'd heard to be fair.

It's not ideal that the hibs game starts at 12:30. Even if it's over quite quickly there's going to be a few sore heads watching the football.

Or an early morning?😉

lightweight

A night of overpriced drinks and ogling at Swedish women for me before the fight should suffice to pass the time

He's really starting to grow on me, and I never thought I'd say that.

[nellio]

Not a bad card to be fair. As a Welshman ill be watching Clevs fight with interest.

No kidding. It starts at 4.30AM in Vegas. Odds on both McGregor's winning will be slim to none.

Tickets remaining are being touted at multiples of face value. Cheapest on StubHub is $1619 and Ticketmaster is $2500. Where are you able to find a $500 ticket available? Let me know because I have a lot of people asking me for those $500 tickets.

This morning's Costello & Bunce podcast from Vegas spoke at length about the unsold tickets. Anything from 1000 to 7000 seats will be empty on the night. I think a combination of silly prices and the boxing market not buying into this event. None of the top price tickets are actually bought by those who take up the seats on the night. They're either freebies for celebs or freebies from the casinos to the high rollers. There are thousands of Irish fans in town, hardly any will be at the fight due to the prices. Don't forget, the Mayweather Pacquiao fight a couple of years ago wasn't sold out either. Arguably the biggest fight in recent decades and it wasn't a full house.

Out of interest, what is a full house at the MGM? About 30k?

Its being fought in the new 'T-Mobile Arena' which holds around 20k and im sure holds more than the old MGM which I think was around 16-17k? could be wrong though

So about a third of the tickets unsold! Seems crazy. I've always wondered where the money that the fighters get for these fights come from. Insane amounts of money for one event.

Sponsers and ppv buy rates I'd imagine.i think ppv makes a lot of the money.

Good to hear that many see this farce for what it is.

[lord bunberry]

I'm enjoying Paulie Malignaggi getting really wound up about the release of the sparring session. He's a decent guy Malignaggi and it's unusual to see him lose it the way he has.

[HibbyAndy]

any idea roughly what time it will be on ?

You can order Sky Box Office on a tablet or phone if you dowload the app.

I always find streams for boxing to be hit or miss. Not an issue for me as I'm giving it a miss, saving myself for Canelo v Golovkin in a few weeks.

Delete if necessary (as I know I'm breaking the rules), but stopstream.me always provide decent streams of the boxing.

Sounds like some sort of adult website 😉

May weather looked rattled at the weigh in. I still expect him to run to victory but I would love Conor to spark him out
