Do you prefer seeing live fights or watching on tv?

I am from Memphis, TN, and I have only seen one live fight in my life. I caught Tarver vs Johnson when they came to the Fedex Forum. It was a pretty cool night - Ann Wolfe fought that night, Andre Ward was on the undercard, etc. James Tony was there dressed like a pimp! I even saw Winky and Roy Jones. It was pretty cool seeing all of these people in person, but I still prefer watching on tv.

Which do you prefer - the feeling of being there live, or watching on tv?

its all good being at a live fight the atmosphere in the arena. but you also miss a lot prefer tv action replays .........

I guess it depends on the seats at a live event. Not too many people would pass up a front row seat at ringside for the same price it may cost to watch it on TV.

I prefer watching it on TV.

quite honestly, you have never really seen a boxing match until you've sat ringside. Or more to the point never felt a boxing match until you've sat ringside, plus you dont have to listen to commentators as they try to express what they seem to know little about (excluding Atlas and Kellerman ofcourse) There you can almost feel the shots. You see it all, hear it all and like I said just about feel it all. Its a whole new ball game from that vantage point. Nothing like ringside, except being in there yourself ofcourse........Rockin'

Most definitely. I would never pass up the opportunity to be ringside. I've got a lot of work to do to ever be able to afford that!

Hey Rockin' do you fight? I seem to remember someone with a similar username that was a fighter....

Live is much better, especially if the fight is good. The tv does it no justice, you can feel the electricity in the air at the live event.

live is definitely better if you have good seats, venues like york hall in london are great as their quite small and you can see virtually everything from everywhere (not a great venue to box at though, changing rooms are HORRIBLE)

[mrpain81]

Boxing fans need to go to the fights more often, I try to go atleast once every few months. It's not really that expensive especially for the club shows, it's well worth the money.
