FMJr vs JMM movie theater showing experience

glad to see this thread and I'll share my experiences. went to my theater in NC, and it was SOLD OUT, fortunately I already bought my tix 3-4 weeks earlier so no problems there the theater even sold more tickets at 8:30 PM Was the visual quality of seeing a boxing match in such a big size screen as cool as it seems it would be? IMO, absolutely .. now only if we can get a main event that lives up to the hype, this idea was a BIG hit. (at least the one i went to) Yea i Live in NY and i went to the theatre right b4 showtime and it was sold out. asked the guy he said it had sold out about 5 or 6 hours ago. thats pretty impressive. thought it would be EMPTY. I HOPE and PRAY they do this for COTTO-PACQUIAO, but they wont that's good man, and even better I found some friends who follow boxing to go with hallelujah!!! I didnt get to go to the theater and went to Buffalo Wild Wings instead, but Ive been reading reviews online and people loved the experience. almost all 5 stars across the board. http://www.movietickets.com/movie_detail.asp?movie_id=78060&showdate=0&tstate=6 and its not surprising why. man, 4 hours of boxing in HD on the big screen in a comfortable movie theater?! buy one thing refillable popcorn and stuff your pockets with snacks before you get in and youre set! Im pretty ticked I missed out going for this one, Im crossing my fingers they do this for Cotto-Pacquiao! and hopefully have a movie theater closer than 45 minutes away, haha. my head wants to explode visualizing the greatness of a card like Cotto-Pacquiao in the big screens. long time no speak anyway I was so inspired by my experience that I wrote about it for all to check out. www.boxingatthemovies.blogspot.com

I HOPE and PRAY they do this for COTTO-PACQUIAO, but they wont yea happend to me also... if yu were their nd heard a teenager scream **** ! it was me lol.. aroun 8:15 nd it was sold out. nd didnt care to ask how long it was sold out for

I went to see the fight at the chelsea cinemas on 23rd street and 8th avenue in NYC. There were only about 5-8 empty seats. The crowd was a mixture of latins, blacks and whites. The majority of the crowd was rooting for Mraquez, and as soon as the final bell ended, over half the crowd left. Boxing needs to do this more often. 15 dollars in a movie theater is even cheaper than when I was a kid. In the 80's, it was usually 20-30 dollars to see a closed circuit fight, but then again, there was no PPV back then. i went thier nd it was fkn sold out ? so if i woulda snuck in i wouldve sat in those 5-8 empty seats.. im pissed !... my 2 other friends were like ofcourcce it was gonna be sold out wat yu expect.. im like naah no1 expected this to even sell good.

y'alll got gypped. That's your opinion but I'm a boxing fan. To see top 2 fighters in their prime is worth my hard earned $15 and its a fun experience...The undercard bouts were also worth it...

i think one thing thats good about the theatres is your forced to watch the fight almost. if my friends and i had ordered this i prolly wouldnt have been paying so much attention to the jon juarez fight but since i was forced to sit there and watch it i was way more into than i would have been sitting at a friends.

It was my first time watching a boxing match in a movie house. I went in seconds before the first undercard bout started and I thought I'm going to watch the fight together with the empty seats. I was wrong, the turn-out was excellent, it was packed with 200 sitting capacity!!! There are no posters or schedule posted about the fight at the theater entrance, I went to the box office and asked about the fight and paid $15.... Crowd is a mix, white older men with their wives, young and old black guys with wives/girlfriends, young hispanics , Indian and several Filipinos..... Overall it was worth the $15 I coughed-up for a fight perceived by many to be a boring fight... Who said boxing is dying? y'alll got gypped.

Im gonna try this for the Pacquiao - Cotto fight but I dont know any places that will be showing it in my area better start looking :puppy_dog.

I went with my gf and it was good. Mix of black and Hispanic people. The only bad part was the picture went out during the middle round of the Katsidis fight.

I called in the beginning of the week to see how many tickets had been sold and they said hardly any. So because I didn't want to watch the fight in any empty theater I waited until the last minute to buy them. The 2 theaters that I originally wanted to go too were SOLD OUT! Good thing my buddy called before we taxi'd it there. We ended up going to a smaller theater in Chicago and there was a few seats left. We snuck some Hennessey in the theater and got faded while watching the fight. Probably made it smell like Alcohol too. Everyone was cheering as they made the ringwalks and during the fight people were ooohin' and aaahing. Everyone was very classy and it was a great experience. Shocker of the night....after we applauded hard for Marquez during the introductions....the Mayweather applause was louder!!! For real. Just glad to see people show enthusiasm over the fight. Even several girls I didn't know at my job came over and started asking about the fight that day. I just wished this fight would have had the fireworks of a Castillo/Corrales or something. That would have been insane for the casual fan to see.

it was great it didnt get too koud even though the mexicand in the corwd yelled for marquez landing absolutly nothing lol but it was cool id definitly do it again

I watched it at a theater in west Pittsburgh. I didn't get there till the middle of the Katsidis fight. Crowd a mix of black, white with a few asian.....probably half full? The crowd was cool.....some cheering....mostly for mayweather and some gasping at the shots Marquez was taking. Theater manager said it was profitable and wanted to do it again.

Was there any yelling and stuff? Like when Marquez was knocked down? yes but no cursing....crowd is very respectful....no ghetto stuff...

good share bro, i am sure they will also have movie theater showing for pac vs. cotto

Was there any yelling and stuff? Like when Marquez was knocked down?

I dont know about movie theatres, but almost every bar I called into was showing UFC, not mayweather/marquez. Alot of them asked "who??" when I called, and Im being serious. The theater I went to was almost sold out, maybe 80-90% full and majority of the boxing fan who showed up are white peeps... I think Number 1 vs Numero Uno is a success...

Did they sell beer? no.......LOL
