    I'm guessing any of your finer tittie bars are showing it.

    Fox & Hound up here in Dallas is showing it, so maybe it is down there too.

    My brother is there and called me this afternoon, he stated that according to the people at the Thomas & Mack Center, the actual Jones vs Ruiz is not scheduled to go off until after 9:00 Pacific Time.

    1 hour of BS, and 2 hours of crappy undercard.

    They're fighting at the TmC? I thought it was going to be at the MGM or Caesars
