Mayweather vs Marquez To Be Shown in Movie Theaters

[formarkiz]

LMAO!!! GTFOutta here!

Pacquiao has been doing this since his first fight with Erik Morales back in 05! Movie theaters in the Philippines charged $12 to $15 a head for every Pacquiao fight on the big screen. A couple of hundred packed movie houses every time, and do you know how huge movie houses are in the Philippines? Last time I was there 6 years ago, there's still some old school theaters there who has 2000 sitting capacity.

Bull****, those showings are free.....

Get your facts straight before spewing nonsense here. I have friends and relatives there who goes to these fights. They have to shell 600 Pesos ($12.35) up to 1,000 Pesos per person ($20.59).

You know nothing about the going-ons in the Philippines when it comes to a Pacquiao fight son...

Sorry sister, I don't swing that way. Find somebody else...

I think this is great. Where I'm living, boxing PPVs aren't shown anywhere so if it's showing at a theatre it gives me a cheaper option than having to buy the PPV, especially if it's something that doesn't have a good card.

I'm glad they are doing this and I hope they do it for other big fights that don't involve just American fighters.

I've been to a few back when I lived in Puerto Rico, they would open up the theatre for fights and not just PR fighters cause I saw one of the Pacquiao vs. Barrera fights in the theatre.

I don't know if it's been posted before but if any of you guys want to look into it, if you go to www.fathomevents.com you can see if there is a theatre near you that will show it.

It's going to be $15 per ticket on my area, so looking forward to September.

GPB found this idea fron The Philippines!!!

[rskumm21]

This was part of the previews when I went to see District 9 this weekend, I was like WTF? They show fights in movie theaters now?

They did this back in the day when Ali was fighting before everyone had cable.
