I like watching boxing on TV but would not call myself a huge fan. However, I always wanted to go to one live. Everyone I speak to (although none of them have ever been to a match) say that it isn't worth it unless you are very, very close to the ring. But like I said, I've never heard from anyone who actually has gone.

MY QUESTION: Is it fun to see a match live even if you are far (very far) away? Is it worth it for $150 when I can just go to a bar for and see it for $10? I don't mind paying the money, but just need someone to tell me what its like being so far away and if it is worth it as I don't want to spend the money to find that it is not fun and it looks like I am watching ants.

Please advise. Thank you for your help

IMO, if you can't afford a better ticket, use that money to watch that fight and two other PPV's later.

My opinion is, if u cant get a good seat to see the fight, then just watch it from home. I've been to a few fights myself. I've sat 6rows from the ring for one, and in the bleachers for the other. Although the crowd experience is nice, im a fan of the fight itself, not the fan experience. Save your money and spend it on food/beer/liqour instead, invite some of the guys over, and watch it on tv.

The atmosphere is going to be great!!! the fight is going to be great!!! get those tickets, drink up in the arena and you'll have a great time trust me!!

co-sign. the atmosphere alone will be worth it. there should be plenty *****es around too.

I'm actually in NYC for the first time but there is no way I'm gonna pay that much to stand at the back of an arena watching a TV screen. Think I'm going to look for a bar close to MSG and watch it there.
