Mayweather/De la Hoya 24/7

Anyone watching that? I personally find it outstandingly entertaining. Mayweather cracks me up. Probably one of the best marketing ideas for a payperview fight.

You're most likely an alias, and I usually don't respond to alias threads...but you make a good point, I recently got paid, so I will say

OK - 

 

he's no alias, I can vouch for this one. . .  he's actually the only Nole fan I'd put in the friend category. . . i turned him onto the site a while ago.  Are you going to Vegas for the fight?  I think I remember you posting that a while ago. . .  I just booked my plane ticket today

 

......and 24/7 kicks ass...... 

 

 

 

 

Gr8

 

Didn't want to come off as a jerk; it's just will all the a-holes running around here lately and his recent joining date, i guess I made an inaccurate assumption.  My appologies to KSoze ( great movie by the way)

 

Not gonna make it out to the desert..some stuff came up for the following Monday, and unfortuanately I need for than 24 hours to recover from a Vegas weekend

 

Great show

 

Ah, that sucks...

 

and believe me. . .  I know where you're coming from.  I'm SO tired of all the SAF's running around. Ever since that damn Wagerline merger. . . Hard to realize that just four months ago we didn't have to deal with all the SAF's, and we could bet on Pinnacle. . .  Ah, the good old days. . .

 

Side note, I think they initially said that they were going to air four of these shows, but they started it 3 Sundays before the fight. . .  when are they going to air the fourth since the fight will be on the Saturday????  Did I misread that? Are they going to have an "after" episode?  That could be interesting. . .

 

 

Freaking perfect. I fly out for Vegas on Friday so I can watch.  Fullbrights, there's a flight leaving Friday, coming back Tuesday for something like $230 out of GSP. . .  STELLAR deal out of that airport if you've contemplated going. That pretty much made it where I couldn't say no.

 

I think you're spot on with the Oscar late money and Freddie Roach.  I have always liked them both, and Roach is truly the man.  The Doctor in the episode yesterday was correct from my experience in saying Floyd is different in person than on TV.  I met Floyd back in January in the middle of Caesar's Palace, and he was extremely nice and nothing like he is when he gets a camera in his face. Man knows how to sell a fight and get under people's skin. All the better for dropping the line. . .  

 

 

 

I find this mucho promo'ed very hyped fight, to be very odd for what I kinda expect to be a 1 sidded affair. IF an aging ODLH could not get of the way of an aging B.Hops, he's gonna do what to a nearly in his combined Experience and Physical prime FMayJr.??? I mean...who has ODLH beaten since 2003 (FS really won that fight, FV was very damaged goods). I view this one as pretty well anticlimatic. Two HUGE HOF all-time quality names, w/ the associated HUGE sellesmanship & hype, for all of that for what will not be that great of a fight. I'm already on FMayJr. in one 5 unit closing parlay. I may get a little more of a taste of the same as this overHyped bout draws closer. I hope you are correct Fbs, as I've figgued all along that people would chase ODLH as this PPV approaches, which should boost any FMayJr. ROI that I may attempt to tap again.

GLA!
bigeiii

 

Damn Bigeiii. . .  I sure hope you're right, because that's how I see it too.  I already noticed this morning (I haven't been checking that often lately) that the line is at -185 now (sportsbook.com). . . Pinnacle has it at -191, so that would tell me that the public is starting to come in hard on DLH, because we all know SB is MUCH more a public book than Pinny. . .  That just makes me feel more warm and fuzzy.

 

Yeah, FB, I'm just going to take my chances.  I haven't decided yet whether or not I'm going to get in either.  I'm going because the Derby is that morning too, and I'm going to go to a derby party at the Rio, and I just want to see all the hoopla for the fight, if anything.  I just haven't decided yet whether I'm going to pay xxx amount of dollars for a ticket, when I could be wagering it on Mayweather instead.  I'll feel it out when I get there I guess. . . 

OK - Not an alias but I understand seeing what goes on around here. Big boxing/football fan/enthusiast.

I agree with the whole interpreter thing with the Floyd's. Freaking hysterical. Mayweather has scared me for a while. It really took the Gotti fight for me to appreciate him though. I wont lie, I read that fight ALL wrong. Looking back... I just don't get where I was coming from =)

 

The promotion/hype is astronomical. It doesn't change what I have thought about this fight sense its announcement - that being 3-4 years ago, this would have been THE fight. My ONLY concern with PBF is the hand. And heck, if he can tap him all the way to the 12th round it would just seem to me that ODH would be 2-3 steps behind him.

 

But aside from all of that... this show, for nothing else, is probably the single handed best idea PRE fight marketing. Its on HBO, the fight is an HBO PPV, its 4 weeks of it. Beautiful!

Damn it... just noticed there were 3-4 other subjects on this show. Sorry everyone.

 

Yeah, I just caught that a couple hours ago. . . That's a beautiful thing. . .  it's fallen $35 bucks in about 5-6 days.

 

I think I'm going to send a thank you note to HBO for that 24/7 series.  Great entertainment, and win or lose, I'm paying a MUCH cheaper cost than I should on Mayweather because of it.

 

 

That's good stuff about 50. . .  Would you expect anything less at this point?  This fight has seemed to be the biggest hyped up event that I can remember. . .  I can't wait to get to Vegas just to hear the buzz.

 

About him training at all times of the night, the funniest thing to me was when they were showing Floyd watching the premiere of the first episode, his reaction to it, and then telling everyone to get the running gear on, and then cranked out a long run. I think training at all odd times of the night is a great plan, especially since that's when he's going to be fighting anyways.  If you're going to be fighting late at night, mine as well get your body used to it. . . 

I got a problem with the whole Sr. thing too. If anyone knows DLH its Sr. With him in the camp for Mayweather has got to be an advantage.

 

Anyone else notice on the 24/7 show Sr. sounded like he was trying to look paternal with him not training DLH for the fight. When in reality, he just wanted alot more money to do it. Actually stating at one time "I know flaws in my sons game and can exploit them. If he wants my help, 2 million is the number" or something to that effect. Then at the beginning of the second show DLH said he decided Sr. wasnt going to be there for him on the fight and went with Roach.

 

BTW... Roach is the man. There are only a few trainers worth their salt out there and this man seems to be top echelon for sure.

I am pounding Mayweather...hoping that bigeii is right and waiting for the line to drop some but I would take Floyd up to -200 in the case that we were way off. I also like this to go over 11.5 Rounds. BOL to all.

 

That would have to come out right after I make that post.

Good find Fullbrights

 

Back to -170 now.  Think it's leveling out a bit.
