    My friends and I are trying to find a good place to watch the Tyson fight tomorrow. Any suggestions?

    Wow, I've been trying to find out about this as well. I haven't missed a Tyson fight in well over a decade. I certainly won't miss this one.

    RM95,

    Don't know if you were being sarcastic, but if we end up at the same place, I'll buy you a drink as congrats for your marriage news.

    FYI. I called BW3, and they are not playing it. I'll call Live later on.

    Not sarcastic at all. No need for the drink buying, but would love to meet up tomorrow night.

    Cool. I will post here when I find out what places around town are ordering the fight.

    Live sounds really cool, but on Friday nights, it's usually Dance Dance Revolution in there.

    The problem with pay-per-view fights is that any establishment that has them is required to pay $20 x the max occupancy of the bar. They make it damn hard for bars to make money off of it without charging some kind of fee.

    ... and they are undoubtedly charging a big cover charge. No thanks.

    If anyone ends up organizing a possible CF.net outing, I'd be down to go.. as long as the cover isn't something extravagant.

    We all know this is going to be a 1 round fight, max...

    Yeah, if anyone finds a place to watch this that isn't too outragous, let us know.

    Hey guys,

    Everyone has agreed to meet at SRO Northwest. Apparently on Friday nights they have a live band, so it should be a little festive. LSC would so be the perfect spot, I'm just not willing to gamble on the patrons on a weekend night.

    Anyway, one of you other guys need to be the point man for meeting all of the cf.net members. I have orchestrate three different groups of people, so I can't give my word on what time I'll be there.

    Whoever wants to be the point man, let us know what you'll be wearing, so we have fair warning. :)

    I'll be with a group of about 5 or 6 people.

    Anyone else?

    Program starts at 8P, so Tyson should start around 8:30-8:45p. Depends on how quickly Leila Ali finishes off his opponent.

    Harrisment and RM95 already know what I look like. So I can be the point man.

    Let me clear this with my wife first. Ill call SRO and see how much they are charging

    Yeah, how much they're charging is key. I just spent a bunch of money on some jewelry. :)
