    Fights in theaters

    OK I feel like not enough people take advantage of this , AMC theaters (which pretty much everybody in america lives within shooting distance of) play a good number of Showtime PPV cards LIVE. Took me way too long to figure this one out, the tickets are usually between $15-$20, and they play all the Mayweather which is a good deal if you're just watching to see him lose. I went to see the Canelo fight saturday, really sweetens up a **** undercard when the fighters are 40 feet tall and the main event was like watching redhead king kong savage godzilla. Plus if you don't have alot of loud mexican and/or black friends to invite to your fight parties look no further.

    On that topic, anybody know how they count the tickets in the PPV buys, seeing as they're not full price?

    The idea is crap unless you're watching by yourself. You can't drink or do drugs. You have to settle for ****ty overpriced theater food and drink.

    If you're having people over to make an event of it. Just fork over the money for the PPV and let your boys bring the rest of the party.

      It sucks. I saw the Canelo/Perro fight in a theater, and it's pretty lame. And why do I want mexican and black friends who are loud in a theater? The place to watch a fight if you aren't there live is a bar, if not at home. They don't serve drinks at the theater and anything you do disturbs other viewers. It's ok if you have nothing else, but it's just not the ideal environment at all. Sitting through 4 fights without getting up to grab a drink was awful, and I walked in with a buzz with my girlfriend.

        Sports Bars are much better than Movie Theaters when it comes to watching fights. http://www.tonightsgame.com/find-me-a-bar

        Think about it, can't bring alcohol in a theater can you?

          are you sure they had the "surround sound" on? Ive been to theaters and they are the best experience next to a fight. However, Ive also went before with just the sound coming from the front speakers and it ******. Its not the same at all. I think they thought because its boxing, they dont have to use the surround sound but thats b.s.

            The sound was great, but I don't like to watch sports sober, or be confined to staying seated.

                I like listening to the commentators and hear the corner give there fighters instructions. I can't stand being at a fight and music is playing people are dancing and eating, laughing, farting and talking all loud..I hate that ****..

                  that doesnt stop me. Get drunk before and bring a bottle and just buy a cheap movie cup and pour it in there or say F it and just bring a cup also. I usually go with my girl so we pack her purse.......lol

                  She has snacks and I make her pack drinks for me
