    I'm going to be in Vegas on the weekend of Calzaghe-Kessler. Do you any of you know if casino sportsbooks televise HBO fights?

    i've been to vegas twice and both for fights (hopkins/wright, oscar-floyd). i remember the closed circuit tickets were all sold out for oscar-floyd and dont remember if they had one for hopkins-wright.

    i'm staying at Hiltons, maybe they'll have HBO?

    think they'll give you some pointers? Pointers you could use on your journey to become the ping pong grand champion?

    from where I have stayed the casinos do not show premium cable channels (HBO and Showtime) that show boxing. Your best bet is to find a sports bar like the ESPN Zone in New York New York or Hooters Sports Bar and ask them if they show HBO fights.

    The further away from the strip the better your chances though

    yea, i thought about giong to the ESPN zone there.

    i was in atlantic city 2 weeks ago and went to the hooters at tropicana, but they said they dont show any ppvs. i know the hooters in DC and northern va only show UFC fights.
