What with the APAT United Kingdom Amateur Poker Championship exactly 1 calender month away - I have only just noticed something.
This is on the 8th of December in Machester!! They have put this on the same day as the fight of the century - Ricky Hatton vs. Floyd Mayweather?!
Before any smart ass says - yes I know the fight is in Vegas - however Manchester will be buzzing because their prize man is in action.
Poor planning by APAT or just coincidence? You decide... ;)
-
...7...8...9...
-
I don"t understand why this is a problem?
It"s not like they"ve scheduled the tournament to clash with a big football cup final in they city. That would make all the hotels either full or more expensive, so that would be a problem.
But at a practical level, what problem does this cause?

you can please some of the people some of the time but, you can"t please all of the people all of the time. (perhaps you should have consulted with the wbo before planning season 2)

I know where I"m watching the fight then!! Should be a decent atmosphere there!
-
the fight of the century? obviously the winner should get a free £75 buy in to manchester...

-
the fight of the century?
Without doubt.

Without doubt.
this phrase is used to much in too many fights - but this is the real deal!!!
i cant wait for this fights. i never say this about a box office event as think charging extra on top of sports package is a con - but this is worth every penny!!!
-
There hasn"t been a bigger fight in the last 7 years - so it"s easily the fight of the century.
In my opinion anyway. But I fold KK first hand to a shove - so what do I know?

I really don"t see what the problem is - would rather be playing poker than watching two guys beating each other to a pulp.... I hate boxing... :( give me a good, well run, poker tournament anytime.

Hopefully, it will just be one boxer beating the cocky American to a pulp.

I would fold, but i"m a coward.
I don"t see how this fight being on is a problem, except for the fact i miss a lock-in round the local. :o
-
Can"t see a problem, don"t most of these fights normally start at about 2-3 in the morning.
-
This one will probably start later/earlier than that, like 4/5 in the morning.
-
People are getting a bit serious about this matter.LOL ;D
Was more intended light heartedly and as a joke. Not exactly goning to clash. Just bringing it to peoples attention.
CALM DOWN ;D ;D

worth the sleepless night though!!!
-
My only worry is that the casino might try to turf us out before the fight"s finished!
-
My only worry is i won"t have any money left to buy a drink by the time the fight starts ;D
-
Mine"s a Guinness. Thanks ;D
-

I feel for the safety of others if your still drinking Guiness at 4 in the morning :o

??? don"t see the problem
-
Probably isn"t one but if it was me drinking Guiness until 4 in the morning i"d have to be removed from the casino probably unconscious ;D
-
what time do casinos stay open until then. this fight wont start until abuot 4-5am!!
-
I think Manchester is open until 6am
-
I think Manchester is open until 6am
I think they have to shut earlier on a Sat night... church in the morning don"t you know!
-
If I"m staying over in Manchester, I can guarantee I"ll still be drinking Guinness at 4 in the morning.
The main events usually start at about 4am our time. If the casino isn"t showing it (which they"d be mad not to). We"ll have to find another venue to watch it.
You reckon anyone in Manchester will be interested in the fight?
