Thick, sweaty, stretched marked rolls of blubber completely covered my seat! I stood there double checking my ticket against the seat number, while the slob casually chomped on a messy burrito and washed it down with a silo-sized soft drink.
This guy was "can't wipe his own ass" fat. I went to the MGM ticket window and explained my problem. A host came out and said, "OK, let's see how I can help you".
It was early in the prelims so the arena wasn't crowded yet. The MGM rep took one look at my dilemma, smiled and said he would fix it.
I followed him back to the office where he produced a ring side VIP pass for me! I tried giving him a huge tip but I swear he wouldn't accept it. He was genuinely only concerned with making me happy.
So there I was, hobnobbing ringside with all the celebrities. Although he was 43, Duran floored Pazienza in the 5th (see the knockdown at the 6 minute mark of video below) with a crushing right and almost knocked him down again in the 11th (8:20 mark), but Vinny survived and went on to win a controversial decision.
My VIP pass gave me complete access to the event, including the after parties. I met and spoke with Roberto Duran, who was gracious and welcoming to all his fans.
Here's the video that prompted me to write about my experience dealing with a fat guy in Las Vegas. Props to bryanmicon for posting it on YouTube.
