    movie theaters a good idea for jmm/pbf

    So let me start by saying I am the only person in my group of friends that likes boxing. Most of my friends like mma and don't mind boxing, but wont go out of there way to watch it. When ever a big fight comes on I go down to my friends and give him 50 bucks to order it(I can't order ppv at my house). We'll invite people over and people will stop by, but more because theres nothing better to do. I usually pay for the whole thing, and no one throws me any money, not that I care too much as just getting to watch it is what I want and if I can help turn some ppl onto boxing i feel pretty good(all my friends are now pacman fans). I told my friends the other night that I didn't think i was going to order the jmm/pbf fight because I could go see it in a theater for only 15$. When I told them this they couldn't believe boxing was going to be in a theater and said they wanted to come. They started making plans about pregaming at the bar next to the theater and bringing in flasks and getting all excited. My main point is i think boxing in a theater is appealing to causal fans as it makes it more of an experience than just sitting down to watch a fight. So all in all thanks oscar for doing this. I think it was a great idea.

    I also think it's a great idea. If the theatre in my area has that I'm going to watch it there with friends or without friends.

      It sounds like a great idea but I am sure a small group of people are going to ruin it by being loud, obnoxious, starting fights etc. etc.

        Something new is always good. Maybe other fans will go see it and bring more people to the sport.

          I just went to one of the Theatres in IL that will have the fight (Marcus Theatre in Orland Park) and I saw the poster...I got excited and pointed at it..and I heard people say.."there showing a fightin here?"..I didn't catch an expression if it was good or bad..but I wanna see it at the movies now too!..

          but will they also have the undercard too?..or just the Main event?? anyone know?

                Jesus Christ. What the fuck's the matter with you? Those aren't friends. Just get some people to each put in $5.

                Edit: Ha no offense. I'm just saying, that's crazy to put so much in and have your punk ass friends mooching off you.
