Mayweather v. Mosley in the THEATER? Questions!!!

[Felixion]

Anyone who has watched one of the big PPV fights in a movie theater....

Is it good?

Also - is it the HBO broadcast? Or is it an un-commentated stream of JUST the fight?

Let me know. THanks.

i watched mayweather-marquez & hopkins-jones in the theater.

it was a nice experience to see the fights on "the big screen."


mayweather-mosley, i'll probably throw a fight party or go to one....

in the movies, there are children around, so you can't get too ****ed up and act out. i plan on doing both, watching floyd beat the brakes off shane.....

but if you've never seen a fight in a movie theater, you should go...it was nice.

Is it HBO?

not sure if its the same but i was vacationing back in manila during the pac-hatton fight and they showed it in the theaters too back there, it wasn't HBO but there were still announcers/commentators just cant remember who. oh they weren't pinoy either.

It's a straight HBO PPV feed in HD broadcast live to the movie screen. The projector's the use are generally digital for this, so you'll pay $15.00 or whatever and basically see the fight on a giant screen, with loud, perfect sound blasting from all speakers. You can't beat it in terms of pure viewing experience. I saw Mayweather-Marquez and I've never been bombarded by the HBO commentators quite as loudly, with the boxers being two stories tall above me- it was awesome.

That said, you lose all the party atmosphere behind a big fight. You're in a movie theatre, not a house or bar, it's dark- the fight is dominating everything you can't really talk well, or drink a beer or eat; if you intend to just focus on the fight it's amazing.

If you want to enjoy it with buddies, talk about the fight, have a party or make an event of it- the movie theatre is all wrong for that. If you want a good viewing experience and that's it- it can't be beat. No HD home television can come close.
