I'll say 3 things right if I can say 3 things number one the fan man you guys remember the fan man I remember that Evander Holyfield yeah yeah I was covering the fight looking you know facing the ring and the fan man flew from behind us right and so I saw people um across from us you know you were it was outside um at the mirage hotel which just actually closed uh in Las Vegas um they're turning it into a hard rock and I saw the people across from us they were kind of looking up and going what what's going on the fight was just heating up Bowe and Holyfield you know starting to get at a good point in the fight and everybody's kind of doing that right and you're going what's going on.
