Desperation in Vegas: Marquez-Mayweather turns into Free For All

Here's a $2,000 package special offer just sent out by the MGM Grand Hotel. The key word might be "free."

I expect the next email to talk about free blackjack, free roulette, free craps play and maybe some free games in the poker room. That's not the kind of poker Dr. Hayden Kho records on video either.

Btw, I don't know who the guy portrayed next to Mayweather is but I ask you, is that the soft, cuddly face of Manny Pacquiao's old pal, Juan Ma?

It might be the Frito Bandito but it is not Juan Manuel Marquez.

Offer Expires

September 18, 2009

I don't know about you guys but I think I will hold out until the MGM ups the offer to include that private jet flight roundtrip gratis.

Not to mention that poolside cabana meetup with the one, the only Britney Spears!

What happens in the cabana, stays in the cabana!

It would be really neat if they changed the nickname for this promotion, and I use that term loosely.

Bob Arum labeled Pacquiao-Cotto "Fire Power."

Can't we call Marquez-Mayweather "Fire Sale?"

Just asking.
