Same time in Lisbon at the moment isn't it? One of those American sports bars is your best bet. Or an Irish pub.

Isn't the same time as Vegas - but know what you meant !

Not sure what time the fight is scheduled for but guess it'll be somewhere between 4am - 6am

Is it just me or is the lead into the fight very quiet? Its in 3 weeks! Even Freddie Roachs "good vs evil" because of Mayweathers habit of smacking women about doesn't seem to be fueling the fire.

Weird.

I think the trouble is that nobody really believes that mayweather can lose. It's such a pity they couldn't have done it when the demand was highest. It's still going to be a big event.

I'm meant to be going round a mates to watch it but fuck,think I'd be pissed by the time it comes on and doing a Houdini lol.

Late start, always. Hours kip at about 6ish and dinner for 10pm.

No way I'm missing it. Would've been better a few years ago yeah but its still a huge fight. But its rare two top fighters fight unbeaten and both in their prime so we should be happy to take what we can get.

Even at his peak pacquiao wasn't unbeaten, he had already lost 3 times by that stage.

This is true yeah! Those two losses on the bounce seem to have finished him in the publics mind but hes avenged the Bradley defeat since. And its champ vs champ.

yeah i want manny to win anyway but really want him to win so that we get sour grapes from mayweather accusing him of somehow cheating using drugs even though they've had the testing and stuff. would make good entertainment even if the fight isn't

    • Rotten communication. Actually god awful. Posting sporadically on IG, closing Mordor only to reopen and cause some serious carnage. Left the festival as it got too much for my 16year old daughter. She was devastated about Alex G and Mac…but TV girl could have saved it. Took us until 1220 and already home to find out they might/are playing. Pish.    and on another note, this festival has lost its bastard soul. Gone are the wee tents with local sellers selling vinyl, t shirts etc, now you can buy a 50 f**king eur official T-shirt. The ar*e is truely out of this event now. I went to Porto for the first time last year and it was fab. I love Barcelona and the line up is always stacked, but this festival is a corporate loss take. Hopefully a better day tomorrow.
    • f**king horrendous and seems they couldn’t run an egg and spoon race.  zero info and the crush waiting to get in to see Massive Attack was potentially disasterous. Zero info, no stewards at all and was told that the whole evening was cancelled, when we got to the exit. Because it rained. First time attendee and i’ve got onsay, i’m far from impressed. Scalping bastard taxis asking €37 plus for an €11 fare too. Wonderdul.
    • Rumours are it's called The Lost Tour. In the US in September. Ireland in November (so UK+Europe a good bet around November/early December). 
    • Hey guys, is there a group going for any solo y not goers this year?? I couldn’t miss out once I saw the acts but it’s just me and would be great to meet some others:))
    • After deciding to abandon the festival, here's a few of my thoughts (mostly negative tbf).    On the positive side - was it just me or were there a few more urinals than last year? Seemed to help the queues at the loos a bit from what i saw. Plus they had at least had some foresight and had a few more covered areas in the VIP areas.    Now on the negatives.  The weather was admittedly pretty crap but it wasn't apocalyptic. How the actual f**k are bits of the main stage falling off in those conditions?  Then the communication was awful, there's a load of people who left the site because they were told by security guards/other personnel that there would be no more acts on the main stage this evening.  You have an app Primavera, use it! Yes, there's a shitload going on I'm sure but communication with the festivalgoers should be one of the top priorities. You failed.    And I'm not usually somebody who buys into the whole "oh this is hugely unsafe and it's lucky people weren't hurt" narrative, but all the above led to movements of people that were genuinely unsafe.  Evacuating Mordor entirely (again... Why???) and then having a horde of people trying to get in because they thought they were going to Massive Attack was insane.  And given a lot of people basically abandoned ship around 10.30pm the crush at both the exit to the festival and the entrance to the Metro was pretty dangerous.   Conditions happen, most people will get that....but the contingencies have to be better.
