Do you prefer seeing live fights or watching on tv?

[Kelly Robinson]

I've never seen a live fight, but I've been to several concerts and unless you have good seats, it's better to watch it on TV. However, I would like to see a fight live.

HOnestly, I prefer to watch a fight on a nice big screen, with TiVo. Being at the arena is OK, but the racket is hard for me to tolerate, as are some of the ignorant "fans". I'm not really the type to get excited about seeing my favorite fighters in person, so that's not an incentive either. Plus, if you want anything other than chump seats, you need to be prepared to drop near a grand or better on your tickets.

I have a 70" flat screen with a massive surround system in a 20' x 30' room that seats 20 people I built specifically to watch boxing. It has a fully stocked bar and grill, and heavily insulated 6" walls to keep outside interruptions to a minimum....I built this with my winnings from Wright/Trinidad.

So yeah, I prefer to watch at home.

Next big win I have (if I ever do), I'm going to build an addition on it for an indoor hot tub/jacuzzi. After that, I'll just need to get rid of my wife so I can put it to the use for which it was made.

That's a really nice setup

But I still have the stubs for

Morales vs Barrera 3 - fight of the year
Corrales vs Castillo 1 - fight of the century
Marquez vs Pac 1
Morales vs Barrera 2
ect,etc...

You don't have to spend an arm and a leg to get good tickets, just got to know how to look.

Where you from?

One thing a TV cannot come close to being a substitute for is atmosphere during the fighter announcement and ringwalk. That's an awesome experience, especially if you a large crowd support for at least one fighter.

Southwestern Missouri, near Joplin.

There have been some good fights in Miami OK, not too far from here (FNF does their thing there a couple times a year), and I don't mind traveling to MSG for a big fight if I have time, but at my age, I guess I just prefer the comfort of my own place, the ability to rewind and slowmo right away without missing anything, and not having to worry about catching a cab or a flight after drinking half a bottle of Bushmills. I can pass out wherever I happen to be sitting/laying/sprawled out.

Besides, I've had over a dozen guys watching fights in my theatre...turns into quite a party sometimes. Only thing missing is a couple of strippers, and that's bee considered.

Travel definitely has to be taken into account, I have lived in Vegas and Cali so the fights haven't really been too much out of the way. That set up you have does sound amazing though, your buddy's should thank their lucky stars.

A big fight and as long as you don't have nosebleeds.... I would take it over TV any day of the week. Last fight I went to was Cotto/Marg and it was great.
