Oasis Bar in Khao Takieb is showing it from 8.00 am onwards.
They do a good English breakfast as well,plenty of parking outside.
It is on the left just past the police station and before the turn for the beach.
Bobby,s Good Friends Bar in Takieb will show it from 9.00 am onwards which should be ok as I reckon the big fight will be around 10.00 am.
I am sure some of the bars in town will be showing it too but these are the only ones I know for sure.
Come on Ricky!
Glory! Glory! Man Utd.

I'd love to see PBF get his arse kicked.
Unfortunately, I think he's too fast, too slick and too skilled for RH who will be slower at 147 than at 140.

Mayweathers obviously the Favourite but Rickys got a good chance.

Met Ricky in a bar in Manchester, great bloke.

COME ON RICKY! Beat the smug Yank in his own Backyard.

Yeah, Mayweathers got all the moves and Ricky's pretty much one-dimensional. I think it will come down to who wants it most and whether the referee will allow Hatton to press, press, press!

Watched the fight this morning, Hatton came out like a Tiger but Mayweather fought more strategically, used his reach advantage and came through when it mattered in the later rounds ... with a little help from his elbow here and there!

Ho hum - I'll bet Lewis Hamilton is happy - he'll win the Sportsman of the Year Award...

V.S. I agree - even though Hamilton did not win the world championship and has no personality.

If the British public could bring themselves to vote for someone who isn't English, it would be Calzaghe whose sporting record is bettered by no other British sportsman or woman. The event is a farce - just look at last years winner!
