It you decide to get nosebleeders seats,make sure you get em at the Home Depot Center. Every seat in the house is hot!

i was at roy jones jr vs tarver 1. sat ringside the crowd booed thought tarver won. made me think tarver won too. then i went home and watched it on hbo and saw that roy jones jr clearly won based on clean body shots and over all cleaner landed effective punches.

watching it live is like none other, but when the crowd boos it influences you to feel a certain way.

even if the booing crowd is not the majority boos sound louder than cheers especially in the auditorium. so just keep that in mind

i go to local fights all the time, which are always in small intimate venues, so you can always see just fine. ive been to a few fights at foxwoods and mohegan sun and, from what i can tell, there isnt a bad seat in the house.

somebody asked if sitting behind the camera crew is cheaper? NO its not thats where all the journalists sit. its called press row section i sat there for pac vs em III. great view, but u NEVER are seen camera cuz the camera never goes 180degrees

The best view to a boxing match is on tv.

You know the only thing bad at small events is when they don't have big screen and you see a knockout and you look up, and there's no screen to watch the replay.
I missed a vicious Ben Tackie knockout some years ago because I looked down for a second to pick up something I dropped. No instant replay....damn...

I was wondering if you have been and sat in the nosebleeds? Can you see anything at all? I'd couldv'e gone to Spinks-Phillips in STL but didn't really have the expendable cash. I really kicked myself in the ass when I had a chance to go to Diego Corralles last fight in Springfield, MO three hours away. Not only could I have had a great seat but it was his last fight before he passed. No good fights ever come to my area. Also, are seats behind the camera crew really cheap?

They didn't have anyone seated above the luxury boxes for that card. I saw my first fight in the upper deck at the Conseco Fieldhouse in Indianapolis - and that is a steep, steep climb. Mainly watched the jumbo tron rather than the fighters. Been ringside or at least on the floor at every major event since then...

I went to the Alamodome last year when Manny fought Jorge Solis, that was when Arce got whooped by a then relatively unknown Christian Mijares. Sosa also upset " The Hawaiian Punch " that night. Great night of fights, but I sat nosebleed and couldn't really see anything. I found myself watching the jumbo-tron most of the night. Don't get me wrong though, nothing compares to a live atmosphere, especially when it's Mexico vs. Phillipines. Plus every true fan should get to hear Michael Buffer live at least once.

If you're sitting in the nosebleeds, all you're paying for is the atmosphere. You're going to be looking at the big screen the whole fight. A good pair of binoculars is a decent option that I've used.

Can anyone think of any big fights in KC or STL in recent history?? Maybe Tommy Morrison in KC back in the day?? I know Memphis and Chicago have had a few but they are both over six hours away. They have a bunch of junk low level MMA that I would pay not to see. All the action goes east and west.
