That mayweather fight was before I could afford the big fights in Vegas but we went anyway and watched on the closed circuit at mgm grand for 100 bucks. That weekend was something else. One of my all time great boxing memories was leaping out of the cab at the airport because Bert Sugar was smoking a cigarette on the curb. I joined him and he sang that song while we smoked.

Dan, your obituaries are the only ones worth reading. It’s a double edged sword as they are seemingly coming too frequently. Thank you for doing The Hitman justice.

I remember the HBO 24/7 for Mayweather vs. Hatton being especially good. RIP, Champ.

I saw all of Ricky's fights on tv, he was a very exciting fighter. it's hard to believe he's gone at 46. well, he is gone now nothing we can do but remember what a great guy he was.
