Anyone ever been to Vegas for a boxing show? Tempted to go for Fury vs Wilder 3 in July as suggested by Top Rank in an interview yesterday. The only thing is one of the boxing forums suggest that the cheapest tickets will double from $500 to $1000.

Some pals were in Vegas for the Fury fight last week. They picked up tickets for $500 (face value), very good seats but not floor seats. Big fights tend not to sell out there, unlike over here but they’re no cheap. Bars in the strip were charging $100 to get in to watch the fight on TV.
hi
kinda! i guess would be my answer,though prob not what you are looking for.My brother and |I went to vegas for the first time in 2014.the mgm.They had a boxing ring at the entrance and were premoting a fight( to this day i have no idea whom were fighting) 2-3 days later there was a huge crowd and my brother and i went over to see what was happening..Unsure if it was common but it was one of the big fan fare things when the fighters made there entrance for premotional work..(again near the check in area)..i rember seeing oscar de la hoya though (ot a couple of pics)
a day of so later was the weight in and well my brother and i went and sat in the mgm arena though we got bored though watching pre weigh in activities but it was an experince for sure.
On a side note.im into saving money and unsure if you ve been to vegas before but there is a wonderful las vegas money saving thread on money saving expert site that may be of use to you.
kind regards

The Gb Olympic qualifiers have been on bbc red button today. Could be a look into what’s to come in the future.
I know a few like your boxing so what's the thoughts on Tyson making a comeback ( charity rounds only)
https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/boxing/52530283
Pretty certain those punches would kill me!
He was a washed up has-been when loosing to Lewis in 2002. Even more so when embarrassed by Williams & McBride a couple of years later. He’s now also a self confessed complete stoner. He should stick to making a fool of himself in films and leave the sweet science to the young ones.
I've watched a YouTube video of his ring entrance to the music Time4SumAksion. I think it was his first fight out of jail. Watching Tyson come through the crowds with his entourage and that music playing is spine tingling.

Good piece on how good he could have been on the bbc website and how true were Frank Sinatra's words to him?

I don't think Tyson has any ambitions to actually fight again as such. That would be madness. The training videos look slick but that characterised his last few fights, he could give you 3 rounds but if his opponent wasn't out of there at that point then Tyson had nothing left. An exhibition or 2 probably appeals to him and his fanbase.
I find Tyson and his redemption somewhat troubling. At his best there is no doubt he was a phenomenal talent, he was ferocious but skilful. However whilst everyone deserves a second chance and the right to rehabilitation I find his new image as a lovable rogue a bit unsettling. People should remember what he is and the impact his actions had on another person.
Agreed. The current Tyson love-in is doing my head in. In his prime he was phenomenal. Unfortunately his prime was too short lived for him to be anywhere near top 5 heavyweights. His behaviour inside and outside the ring was despicable at times. I’ve no idea how the likes of Hollyfield & Lewis can be doing with him.
Anyone seen fast Eddies plan to put a boxing centre in his dad's back garden?
Ambitious stuff.

Hearn is saying that Fury and Joshua have agreed a 2 fight deal for 2021
Is that dependant on Fury beating Wilder again.
Just watched I am Ali on sky sports. I’m biased as I think he’s the greatest sportsman of all time, but even if you don’t it’s well worth watching. I know here’s been more up to date films about Ali, but that one was good.
Anyone watching tonight?
Babic made easy work on Shawndell Williams. He looked ok but is light for a heavyweight these days.
Kongo vs Clay in the 5th round at the minute. Kongo nicking then rounds but has been good so far.
Fancy Katie taylor to improve from her last fight against Persoon but it will be an interesting one.
Whyte should deal with Povetkin. And I’m keen to see how Whyte looks with the big weight loss. Think he needed it tho as always gassed in last few fights.
While typing this, Clay has had to really hang on in the 5th. Looked like the fight was over 30 seconds ago.
