What do you feel about the fight this weekend? Teddy feels that for what people paid, it wasn't worth it. He wouldn't have paid that. He would have paid just 100 dollars to see it though.
Dave states that he didn't pay and also states that the fight was really overpriced as it wasn't going to be that good.
There was allot of money on Floyd that came in late and the MGM took most of it. This year raising the prices obviously helped and it is a different management than in years past.
What% of the late money was the Pros and how much was the public? Dave states that it is just so hard to tell where it came from, because there was just so much money coming in.
He states that the 20 dollar bettor would rather bet a little to win allot, meaning they would rather be on the plus money with Manny, but the 6 figure guys are not afraid of laying 2-1.
Teddy states that he saw RJ at the weighing and Dave wonders how much he weighed. RJ states maybe 219. LOL
Teddy says that at the weigh in he was surprised at how many pundits were on the side of Manny.
RJ's takeaway was really how much of the enthusiasm there was about the fight. Celebrities included Tom Brady coming across the country to see the fight and Charles Barkley taking off from TNT to be there.
This was the ultimate scene. Join in the conversation.
