LVA Question of the Day - 17 DEC 2007

#1

Q: I heard a potential new Las Vegas urban legend yesterday.
The story is that the 40,000 Brits that came to Las Vegas for
the Mayweather-Hatton fight were able to drink the MGM Grand
dry of beer. Then the MGM had to scramble to buy beer at many
of the local liqor stores. Could this possibly be true?

Many years ago I watched the Alan Minter-Marvin Hagler middleweight
title fight. Minter was the champion, English, and Hagler had to go to
England to fight him. Hagler had Minter beat to a bloody pulp (Minter
refused to go down) by the fourth or fifth round and they stopped the
fight making Hagler the new middleweight champion. At the stoppage the
beer bottles came flying, all aimed at Hagler's head. He was reduced
to laying face down on the canvas with his cornermen laying on top of
him to protect him from the glass missiles.

That was a hell of a fight. Hagler just took the Brit apart until
there was nothing left but blood and open cuts. And the fans went
nuts. To paraphrase an old Dangerfield line, I watched a fight and
a soccer match broke out.
