Alot of fans talk about how fighters cant sell tickets, but when that fighter fights in there city they watch the fight from their living room.
How many fights did you attend last year? Obiously depends on where your from but im curious.
Im from NY and only attended 4 or 5. Def plan on attending more this year.
i went to six cards last year. of the six, only two were televised i think. alexander/maidana on hbo and fonfara/johnson on espn2. i think fonfara/karpency might have been televised on wealth tv, not sure. i've never been to a big championship fight though, like in vegas or ny. i'm hoping to go to one later in the year if i can.
I went to one Cotto Vs Mayweather
I need to go to more fights since I'm not too far from vegas (Cen California, Fresno)
I wish Donaire fought locally too.
I cant take to many trips now these days I Have 16 month old baby.
Ward vs Dawson- Oakland
Guerrero vs Aydin- San Jose
I wish Donaire would fight locally
I was so close to going to that one. So close.
Work.:nonono:
The last fight I've been to was Maskaevs last fight at Sac Memorial.:rofl:
I envy you guys that have been to multiple cards. Good stuff. Someday....
Its tuff that sometimes you spend a whole bunch of money on a ticket, air fare and hotel and the fight gets canceled. Pain in the azz espcially when it is close to the event
Yeah that would blow, guys living in Vegas that are boxing fans are tremendously lucky.
I'm sad and ashamed to say but no big events. I was struggling and since I don't live anywhere big fights normally occur I couldn't see myself wasting money on the expenses and tickets. This year is different, I'm planning on kicking off with Alvarado-Rios II and then Mayweather-Guerrero if all goes well.

A couple of big shows (Garcia/Morales at the Barclays and Cotto/Trout at MSG), some Broadway boxing and the NY Golden Gloves.
As a matter of fact the Godden Gloves tourney is in the Bronx today and I'm going to swing by. Larry Barnes and Junior Jones were in the last one.
This year I went to the Garcia/Salido card. It was fun while it lasted. Got Tickets for Garcia/Judah. I'm still undecided for Hopkins/Cloud.
I'm waiting for the official announcement of Matthysse/Peterson
1 plus a couple of amateur shows to support my gym.
Went to Haye vs Chisora in the summer, was a wicked main event/atmosphere. We kind of got mugged off by the undercard though cos ol Franky Warren knew the fight would sell whatever.
Wanted to get tickets to either Burns Vasquez or Kessler Froch but am so skint at the moment i wouldnt be able to afford travel let alone tickets and other expenses.
