Totally agree.
Funny story:
They showed the Mayweather-Pacquiao fight in an Irish pub here in Antwerp. Place was packed with all walks of life. I spend about half an hour talking to this gentleman (who was on a holiday in Europe or something, dunno, I was drunk out of my mind)
I'm just a regular suburban kid from Belgium and I had a great time talking to this guy who obviously came from a far tougher and completely different background than me.
Great, great night.
(Some mates told me I also tried to chat up a cougar, but the jury is still out on that one. I tell myself it didn't happen.)
