[lacubs]

i getting the idea the fright will get postponed! because yesterday Mayweather ESPN open workout didn't look like a man getting ready for and fright, and Las Vegas hasn't released the tickets for fright yet, and we about are 2 weeks ago

 

[Art7220]

Why Fright? And we also haven't heard if the fight will be on the Roku yet.
