Manny on points please.

[ArmaniJeans]

The way Vegas absorbs these fights is wonderful - I was in the city for Barrara v Pacquio II in October 2007 and it barely blipped on the scale despite 15000 people arriving especially to watch it.
Didn't even find out the result until I got back to Dublin.

[Lord Sir Banter]

lol, anyone that can should watch puppycam stream along side the boxing. They are beating the shit out of each other...

[davepoke/her]

Mayweather should run in and hit manny with a steel chair.

[Lord Sir Banter]

A 10-8 round.
Boxing scoring is funny.

Then challenge him to hell in the cell match for his title at Wrasslemania IIVIIVIISI

[KK82]

A 10-8 round.
Boxing scoring is funny.

So that's the equivalent of 3-0 in football, right?

[Lord Sir Banter]

2-0.
That round was a 5-0.

Betfair seems to be down.

Hope Moseley calls Mayweather out to fight Manny after this

[davepoke/her]

Manny will win on points I reckon. 13/8 on Paddy Power.

[Lord Sir Banter]

I will fight him.

[CHDad]

Had €90 on that. Completes a 1400 winning weekend that I will do serious damage to later. Ship.

[AndyFatBastard]

LOL at the drooltards booing.

Edit: Do they sell prawn sandwiches in Vegas?

Where did you win the rest?

All you can eat.

Pub Pokers and a horsie.

Playing poker like a genius.

If Chelsea win I will re create that pic.

[Lord Sir Banter]

If they win tomorrow?

[KK82]

Such a disappointing fight for the non boxing fan, blood thirsty masses (me). Probably would've been better off going to bed a few hours ago. The +EV option for me clearly would've been to put my son to bed a few hours later to facilitate my drinking and sports spectating. Would've felt pretty bad about it though. Responsible parenting FTL! My night's sleep has been reduced to a mere power nap.

Funny how they build the fight up for three fucking hours and then analyse it in three minutes. Also quite amusing how Ricky Hatton says "lickle".

[CHDad]

If they win tomorrow?

Tomorrow our time. Today normal time.

FML.. Why did I choose now to make my first Poker Stars deposit? Anyone wanna plat a $5 6 player SNG?

You were inspired by CHD's poker success.
If he can do it, then any two-bit donkey obviously can.

I crush the pub poker scene

*I may do this for lols. Will have to play some pub poker first.
CHD, perhaps I should come play your pub poker for research.

[Keane]

Sounds like a pretty terrible fight going by the thread on boards, glad I went to bed.

Some of Pacquiao's fight selections have been really suspect of late, and after the initial hysteria about him died down you're looking back at wins over completely washed up DLH and Mosely, a Hatton who should never have been at that level, lolClottey, a good win over a Cotto who hasn't looked the same since Margarito beat him and an admittedly impressive win over Margarito.

The longer we go without the PBF - Pacman fight at this stage the more damage it's doing to both their legacies IMO.

[The Situation]

Interesting interview with Super Mario in the guardian today. The guy seems complex to say the least

Just wondering if anyone is familiar with this situation.

We're going to the UK on hols in July and will be staying in Torquay for 2 weeks before heading up to Scotland so we booked a self catering apartment for 2 weeks. Before booking it, i sent them a couple of emails asking them have they wireless internet in the rooms and is i free because they don't have the info on their website. They replied back saying that it is wireless and free. I said great because i need it for business etc.

Got an email off them a few days later saying that we need to send an amount equal to 25% of the total cost as a deposit. We sent them 50% just to leave us less to pay when we get their. When they received that, we got another mail saying we need to pay the balance before June 18th. Now, i'm not mad about paying the full cost before i even see the place, let alone stay there.

Seemingly it's what happens in holiday resorts where you have to pay up front. If we pay up front, do we still have any comeback if there's anything wrong with the apartment, or if it doesn't have wifi when we get there? I think it's kinda strange that they need the full payment. Anyone ever find themselves in a similar boat?

[thedini]

@ Flushdraw, stayed in holiday apts in Lahinch a few years ago, all money was needed upfront so no probs there, with regards to any comebacks would say you'd be fine just like booking anything else really.

Booked a lot of stuff on priceline/hotwire and it was money up front.

This is good.

[The Situation]

Cheeky Wolves lay at 1.14 now. West Brom have recouped the most points from losing positions this year. They'd actually be bottom on first halfs alone this year. Wolves could get nervy defending the lead in the second half here imo.

Wouldn't disagree with you laying at those odds, can only see one winner here though WBA have absolutely nothing to play for, look the pits at the back from set pieces and can see Wolves scoring again.

I've gone for this also. Good shout

[sligoboi]

Sitch has me addicted o2.5 cards in Stoke-Arsenal game @ Evs looks tasty given the number of cards they've both been picking up of late. The only thing that may worry me is that Stoke have nothing to play for but even still I don't think they're the type of team to not put up a fight every time they step foot on the pitch, especially at home.

Unfortunately, I think Utd are going to roll in this one. Repeat of the CL QF...

[IPB Champ]

Has the makings of a cracking game. I'd take the boring 0-0

[Keane]

Jesus I fucking hate Stoke.

[KevIRL]
