Most places I have heard about in Ocala are charging a 30-50 fee to watch it,, then add your food and drink cost. Might as well get it on pay per view.

Before PPV the only way to see an Ali-Frazier or Ali-Foreman fight was at a public venue that broadcast it. The excitement of the crowd added to the viewing experience.

I am not an investment counselor, but I did sleep on a park bench that was near a Holiday Inn Express this month. Let me put it this way....if you spent the money to buy the eclipse glasses and were disappointed, let that be a lesson to you.

Is this on Showtime? Or is it Showtime on Demand where you pay $99.99 to see it?

Have not been much into boxing even when my parents played bridge with professional boxing referee Mills Lane. This was before he was doing this boxing officiating and was just a prosecutor.

I had a lot of telephone call and letters with him when was trying to figure out what to do with the Mitchells as he was one of the prosecutors in the case(s) against the alleged murderers of their daughter Michelle.

Mills Lane was the referee in the ear biting bout between Tyson and Holyfield. Evander Holyfield vs. Mike Tyson II - Wikipedia

Mills Lane - Wikipedia

If you have Directv you don't need Showtime, you just need $99.95, I received an email this morning.

I am going to guess that it will be a very short fight. With Mayweather making quick work of the Irish MMA fighter.

It use to be $50 to watch a PPV event. Even that was too much. Now they want $100 for a PPV? No freaking way. I hope they loose money on this one. May be it will bring them back down to earth. A lot more people would be willing to pay $20 - $30. Same thing with XM Sirius Radio.

I think the only chance Conor has is to get in a couple of hard, lucky shots...in the 1st round.

If that doesn't happen, Floyd will use him like a heavy bag...and put him away when he starts feeling winded.

But, I ain't paying that kind of money to watch...what I predict to be a snoozer.

They need to pay me $100 to watch it. But that is less than my fee to watch baseball, basketball, or hockey.

And I hope all who buy PPV are prepared to stay up and watch this show which I hear is scheduled to start after midnight.

We will be watching the fight at a friends house. Lucky us and I am very excited. Love a good boxing match. We will be cheering for McGreggor but betting on Mayweather! This will be strange!
