    Pay $500 or stay and watch it at home?

    Here is the debate topic. Should I take my wife and 2 kids to the Pwill and Arreola fight in Ontario or should I just enjoy it at home. I have been promising my boys to take them to a fight. They are 7 and 8 years old. I just don't think either fight is worth a live seat cost. It is an event and its 10 minutes away from home. Yet again I am addicted to boxing?

        Honestly, I would enjoy it at home. Perhaps you can plan a vacation to let's say Vegas with the family, and it just happens to be when a good fight is in town.
        That would be a far better event if you're gonna spend 500.

        Another thing is, you could probably take them to a local show for a lot cheaper and sometimes when the comp isn't that good you see early quick exciting knockouts which they will probably like.

          If you can afford it I say go for it. I took my son to see Evander fight some bum about 2 years ago at AA center in Dallas. He was around 7 at the time. He had a blast. It was neat to see how excited he got. To this day he still mentions the time "Me and Dad" went to see Hollyfield fight live. Family time............can't beat it.

            As they said, if you can afford it why not? If you need the money for other things then no. To some people $500 is lot, others will pay it for lunch.

              Take the kids, and do it for their sake. You told them you would and they probably want to go, it'll be a big deal for them and a good memory 20yrs from now.

              Leave the wife at home man, are you mad???

                You must be getting ringside or close to that, I'm sure you can find some decent seats for less then $500. I always prefer to go watch it live but it depends how much expendable income you have.

                Go to the fights then let us know how the night went.

                  Jesus Christ! Some of you are acting like $500 is nothing. What do you guys do for a living?
