    Does anyone know of a bar here in WS that’ll be playing the fight tonight?

    • WSB May 2, 2015 (1:46 pm)

      That’s come up in every channel and as far as we (and people who’ve been asking around) know, NO. Apparently the fee to show it is something like $4K-$5k.

Sorry, comment time is over.
