    On tv we (I) couldn't hear the crowd cheering much for either fighter. Were both fighters shown on the big screen as they walked out of the dressing room? Didn't seem to me to be such a live crowd, even during the fight?

    Props to Cotto he did a great job, and i doubted him.

        I thought the crowd was good but not great. Remember Cotto is not a Vegas attraction, he's an east coast guy. And as we know, Mayweather is Mayweather and isn't going to have the most vocal fans. There was a few times where it was really loud for Cotto but basically just a good level of chants of Cotto and of Money. Honestly, Canelo had the loudest fans but a Mexican is always gonna have major support in Las Vegas.

            I only seen a few seats open. So, it being Vegas and all, I'm sure those 10-20 empty seats were probably to people that were puking or passed out somewhere. Oh yeah, I met Naz Richardson too. Dude has a strong ass handshake.

              The girl singing the national anthem did a poor job. Did it sound as bad live, as it did on tv?

                Yessir, what you heard is what I heard. I have no idea how she was nominated for 10 grammys or whatever.

                    A little. I had a bet on Shane to get a kayo but after I realized that wasn't going to happen I was pulling for a kayo under 11 rounds, had a bet on that. The MGM was selling these canelo red wigs that had a headband that said CANELO on it, which were actually quite cool.

                      I met him and Diaz. There both bad ass dudes. Did you run into Rodger? He looked hammered. I ran into Ward, Hop, Hoya, Bradley, Alexander, Bronner, Mallinaggi, and I also ran into Holyfield at a Burger joint right before the weigh in. All good peeps outside of BHop he didn't stop to talk to anyone. He looked pissed about something.

                      Fight was packed. It was a great time. Even seen some dudes get the **** beat out of them for telling "robbery" over and over... I couldn't believe how many ******ed people at the fight thought Cotto won let alone won more than 3 to 4 rounds. Re-watched it today and could only give Cotto 2. 3 if I was wanted to be really generous due to the pressure Cotto was putting on Floyd. However in no way was the fight a robbery. There was a lot of pissed off and heartbroken fans though... I couldn't help but to just laugh.

                      btw, I hit up the LAX and watched FAT JOE. Got hooked up with VIP table. Drank free all night. Doing it again at the MIX bar in the Mandalay Bay. My liver is going to be shot after spending a week out here!
