WHY/??..atmosphere wise nothing compare to a ricky hatton fight NOTHING ! i dont wanna hear any bull**** ! nothing compares period those people are nuts the whole week building up to the fight was a blast vegas was little london for a week !
the outcome was not so great but they where still all cheering for him after those are true loyal fans which are very hard to find
2.taylor pavlik 1.boardwalk hall atlantic city
why? my first major fight atmosphere was amazing 15,000 ppl
a 50/50 crowd african american /white american
screaming in each others faces i remeber sitting down n shaking my head after rd 2 then almost having a heart attack in rd 7 when smoger jumps in what an amazing night
3 PAVLIK HOPKINS boardwalk hall
16,000 fans??? no standing room
jammed
60/40 philly over youngstown
ridiculous crowd for b hop and kelly
i remember saying " ok this is the round kelly will pick it up " but he never did total schooling by the legend b-hop had the youngstown fans bowing to him by rd 12 ..
4 cotto forman yakee stadium
20-25k ppl?
totally shocked by the great atmosphere and excitment in the fight ..i was not expecting that at all 80-20 puerto ricans !! i mean it was in the bronx lol

martinez williams 2 boardwalk hall ...need i say more ???
pvlik martinez boardwalk hall great fight !
alexander urango great fight
juanma mtagwa
mallinaggi kahn
kahn schocked me
..what about you guys ???
anyone been to amazing events?????
juanma mtagwa was an epic fight for sure! Gamboa's destruction of Matgwa was pretty awesome to see too in the same venue different night! I recently saw Donaire's knockout of Montiel recently that was pretty insane. Definitely did not see the knockout coming. For Martinez vs Pavlik the stadium was empty and we sneaked down to like the 8th row that was definitely cool.
I'm looking forward to getting tickets for Ward Froch in October.
damn yall lucky as ****...once i get rich ima be one of those travelling fans like nfl fans go around the country for every away game...
vegas, atlantic city, nyc, los angeles, texas, wherever..

I hope to go to Vegas soon i have never seen a fight there. How would you compare the atmosphere for a Vegas fight to a MSG or AC one?
nice list ive been to alot of those also lol
i really cant compare cause i hve only been to a hatton fight and there is no comparing hatton lol
butim sure its still great
Not sure on the best fight but for atmosphere Hatton vs Tzsyu can not be touched! I was in the second last row and there was like 24000 peeps there plus some more coz there were people standing at the back with no seats, it was a fukkin cauldron, fever pitch! When Kostya didnt come out in the last the place went Bannanas!
wow u lucky bastard!
cotto vs pacquiao
ivan calderon vs hugo cazeres 1(that one featured rocky martinez vs la cobra jimenez wich was a great fight that rocky won via 12 round ko )
juanma vs concepcion (plus it was priceless the fans taunting gamboa with chants of juanma es tu papa )
JMM vs Pac 1 and 2
JMM vs Casamayor
Torres vs Holt 2
Margarito vs Gomez
Pac vs Morales 2 and 3
last night was pretty cool, the crowd wasnt that big so you could get around to all the boxers and refs for pics.
cant think clearly now still hung over.
best live fight has to be hatton vs kostya tszyu,24 000 screaming fans singing the same song was a crazy night out,the atmosphere was incredible
joe calzaghe vs lacy was good but vs kessler was great
The uk seems to have the best atmospheres for their fights.

I forgot Cotto Malignaggi that was a good atmosphere i was sitting across from Malignaggi's team and some fun **** talking was going on between the guys in my section and them. Camron showed up too for the last fight with some slut and some people in the audience were screaming funny **** at him.
Why isnt Katsidis a superstar in Oz? He should be down under selling out football stadiums, he should be bigger there than Hatton was here
He hasn't fought in Aus since 2006, and to be honest I didn't knwo to much about him till around the casamayor fight.. The media nut hug Green and Mundine, and the boxing media/promoters like Dibb. The general public do not know who Kats is.
But if Green fights someone decent or Kats comes back def be there.
Trinidad-Vargas was hands down the best fight I ever attended, not only was it a candidate for FOTY, but at the atmosphere was crazy and it was a meaningful fight with the top 2 undefeated JMW's fighting each other. Plus it's Tito.

Oh ****, I haven't been to any live professional boxing matches. And I live in Aus and I ain't paying money to see Green or Mundine.
I guess watching boxing on PPV and weekly shows for 15 years don't count. But I guess some rich dudes GF who has been to 1 live fight must have more boxing knowledge than me.
Thanks for straightening that out.
