Examples are Mayweather and Cotto both allow their little kids who look around 6-9 years old come and watch daddy fight. When he allowed them to watch him fight hatton, his kids were crying their asses off after daddy won. And then Cottos kid was crying like crazy after his dad got an ass beating by a boxer who probably could have been using Plaster. And some people say that if it was plaster in margs gloves that Cotto would have been out earlier but I don't find that to be true since that other boxer used plaster and it went all 12 rounds... I forget that fight, it was against the irish undefeated fighter I believe he was...
I think Calzaghe does the same thing, he has kids come along and watch him fight aswell. But I also think his kids are a bit older like 13-15 yrs old around. I think...

"Irish" Billy Collins vs Luis Resto. Resto Originally won a 10 Round UD.
That happened with Chavez Jr, didn't chavez get stopped by some bum because chavez fought for too long. And then mediocre son came to save the day by KOing that bum later on in life.
Grover Wiley.
I don't mind the kids if they're old enough to understand what's going on. If they're gonna cry and become material for Jim Lampley to comment on, keep them at home.
It's a good thing, if daddy gets his ass kicked by fighter A, the kid can grow up hating fighter A and becomes a boxer to seek revenge and 15 years later fight Fighter A's son in a semi-interesting fight of two fighters who are trying to get paid off of their fathers names.
It's a win win situation. lol

I wouldn't do it. Of course if u win its great but there's always a chance u lose or could get hurt.
Especially for the Cotto/Margarito fight, everyone knew that was going to be a rough fight. That was a very dumb fight to allow his son to go to.
It depends.
Ricky Hatton knows that he has the tendency to get KTFO, so he wisely makes his son stay home.
But seriously, Hatton was right.
One punch can end a fight, so it may be best to keep the youngins' at home.
i don't think its a big deal, but its fun to watch... reminds me of the conan movie where arnold says something like "see the lamentation of their women"
