Comments Thread For: Mayweather vs Cotto To Hit Nearly 400 Movie Theaters

[welcometosaigon]

If anyone is like me and their friends don't follow boxing, it can be tough to get enough people to split the PPV. I went to the theatres for Mayweather-Mosley and Mayweather-Ortiz. I had a great time and I highly recommend it. The atmosphere is wild and everyone is having a great time. The sound and picture quality is fantastic. I've never been to a live fight before, but its great to hear an entire theatre oohhh and aahhh when the fighters land their shots.

The Racket Squad: Squeezing The Buck In The Age of Floyd

Never will so many have spent so much in so many places to witness so little.

This is not a title fight.
It is the battle to ensure that Floyd has plenty of commissary cash come incarceration time.
This fight is a pure Black vs. Puerto Rican set up with a Mexican chaser.
Poor Shane will leave what is left of his dignity in those 400 theaters.

The promotion is designed along the lines of Cooney vs. Holmes.

We all know what was at the dark heart of that event.

yup all the time but i dont care. the gym is swarming with pac fans wearing team pac shirts so i gotta counter that somehow, the looks it get is funny. theyre like "aint he pinoy? why is he wearin mayweather shirts" . i think im gonna rock it at the club this weekend to help promote the fight. and boxing

Your description eminds me of the old days when cub scouts would proudly walk around wearing their (cardboard) Lone Ranger badges which they got for 5 box tops and a postage stamp.

And you can't smoke inside.

so? big deal

$18 bucks is bullcrap...Fight night at the house it is.

that sucks, where I'm at it's $15 ... If I'm not mistaken the Hopkins/RJJ, JMM-Diaz rematch and Mayweather/Mosley were all $20

but for where I'm at, I believe the price is $15 and I'm 50/50 right now on going, just gotta see if a couple friends would be down to see it as well.

fail. Yeah it is, Cotto's the Ring Magazine Champ at 154 as well as the WBA champ .. both those titles will be on the line

"If anyone is like me and their friends don't follow boxing, it can be tough to get enough people to split the PPV."

same problem I have, but for those who've never seen a fight @ theaters ... I've gone twice and had a blast both times. Good environment (not so much chitter chatter as fights are going on) and obviously a very big screen were the positives

**the only real negative is pricing as I've seen in some areas tickets as high as $25. But again where I'm located, and for the fights I've gone I paid only $15, which IMO is a pretty good deal all things considered

I mean yeah you can't drink or smoke at the theaters, big deal. If it's that important to you, you can always sneak some booz in or something

They're showing this junk on movie theaters. This card sux from top to bottom. The main events are guys at the top of their games against shot fighters and the undercard might be the worst ever for a major fight.

Go and have a cry kiddo lol , this card will do huge numbers everywhere .

[ShoulderRoll]

That's just about what I was going to post, although I'd expect the main event to be a reasonable fight. As a whole the fight card ins't worth it. I wonder whodid the matchmaking, maybe that guy Eric Gomez. (maybe Alfonso is his cousin) Yet, it's the fighters themselves decide if they want to fight the opponents or not.

It's not like all of those stacked Top Rank undercards we always get....but it will do just fine.

HD quality in a movie theater. Awesome stuff!

I think so too. Sounds like something to look into
