Should Boxing be more theatrical as far as event production?

[2501]

What I mean is, should promoters try to make an effort to create a more dramatic atmosphere on fight night. Lightshows, fireworks, dancers etc. This could help reel in the casual fan. If the fight doesn't pan out to be something exciting, the experience of the whole event may lessen the damage. Or should the most exciting part of the night just be the Main Bout alone?

Nah, it's a classic sport. Boxing shouldn't need guys to go out of their way to make the sport 'look' exciting. It already is, and fighters should fight like iti s.

I think more fights as opposed to theatrics.

No way its fine as it is

They should intorduce slegehammers, chairs, ladders and tables. Hardcore boxing matches would rule....

Hmm. I don't know. I think HBO does a pretty good job with their big fight promotions. KO Nation seemed kind of crazy, but I'm sure more than a few people thought it was cool while it lasted.

The euros do it up nice and classy, no cheesy ****. I wouldnt mind those kind of production values, stuff like Floyd did though with the Spartan costume or whatever, I think thats cheesy as ****.

Nah its fine the way it is...Showboating/****-talkers bring enought hype to the real boxing fans to make just that much more interesting..(i.e. Mayweather jr, Mayorga, Hopkins, etc)
