    Planet Hollywood is holding this fight at the Thomas & Mack center in Vegas. They obviously suck already at holding fights. The cheapest available are $350. hahahahahaha What a fuckin joke. I wouldnt spend more than $200 for a ticket to this garbage.

    BTW Planet Hollywood is a piece of shit casino that used to be the bankrupt Alladdin.

    I saw the ridiculous prices when they first came out. I guess they really are banking on a British crowd.

    Hopkins last fight in Vegas done shitty tickets sales. Amazing that they put the price up instead of down. They ain't gonna sell shit at them prices.

    Imjust reallly annoyed by Planet Hollywood trying to act like they'rein the same league as Bellagio or Wynn. I was at prive lastweekend and they charged me $30 for a 2nd carafe of orange juice saying the reason is that it is "freshly squeezed". haha! It isquite obvious that they spent about 1/4 of what Bellagio or Wynn did oon their facilities and on Saturday night they had all$25 minimums on table games..

    Fuck that place.

    That property is doomed to fail, unless they implode it. Planet Hollywood can barely do well in restaurant sales and they want to brand a casino? Look at how well the Hooters casino is doing just down the street:eek:ld:

    If the MGM group or the Wynn wanted to host the fight, they would have. Planet Hollywood got it by default. I think it's a terrible promotion all around.

    so you're saying you don't appreciate Ron and the fact that he shares with us inside info about Vegas? is that what you're saying? that seems silly.
