I saw the Mayweather vs Maidana II in a movie theater.
I like the atmosphere felt like I was watching a live boxing match. The only thing I miss was the noise it was too quite inside the theater but overall it was nice. The surround sound and large screen definitely added some nice touches.
Also, living in a Midwest state, I was surprised the majority of people who watched the fight were white people old, young, and middle age.
As a long time Pacquiao fan, I hope Top Rank tries the movie theater route. I saw Donaire, Cotto, Martinez, and GGG live and the movie theater is closest it can get to a live showing.
I always thought about doing this but I rather just chill and watch it at home and drink it seems like it would be to long to chill at the movies for 4 hrs.
The movie theater option was great for the Alvarez fight. They allow brown bagging after 10 pm and the place had a good boxing crowd. Even snagged a phone# from a hottie boxing fan that was seeing the fight alone!!! Next best thing to being at the fight.
I've went to the theater for both Maidana fights and it's great. You can really focus on the fights and won't be distracted by things going on around you like at the bar.
Thanks for sharing your experience i was considering watching it in the theatre but I didnt know what the experience might be like because i like to have a drink while watching the fight.
