Is boxing any good live?

[buge]

I haven't been to a live pro boxing match, but I have been to multiple UFC events. The relative silence due to no commentating is really weird for me. As some others have said, one level up is better than ringside seats. The atmosphere is enjoyable, and sitting where you can give a fist bump to the fighters as they come by is cool.

I don't honestly like it even with good seats. You only have one angle to view from. It's kinda ****. Dudes who was " I was there, I seen it" only saw their own angle and just like us look up at a screen to see the goods. **** that noise. I prefer my home theater. I have a big projector, sound proof room, and ain't no windows in that room. Also, home cooked meals is better than bull at a venue.

Whats worse is 90% of the time LIVE their watching it through their phone and calling ppl taking selfies saying you won't believe where I'm at!

I'm serious they spend all their time recording it and watching it through their phone. SMH...

I have not been to a fight live in many years. When I lived in the Los Angeles area and could afford to buy a ticket ringside it was a great experience. You could hear the punches land and praise the winner after the fight and he could hear you and thank you. However sitting far away from the fight stinks and you are much better off watching it at home. Today sitting ringside at any big fight is only for the very wealthy.

Yeah that’s doesn’t sound all that great! Have you been to any shows in London?

Nah, I've not been London for years, I'm way up north.

just pay for the ppv and watch it on your phone at the event, u get the atmosphere and the close up's, win win

That has got to be the dumbest idea I've ever heard.

The only fight I watched live was Donny Lalonde, but that was almost 20 years ago lol. Went to a cage wars one time, not bad seats, pretty good view. MMA action.

Fair enough! Can you find much 4K boxing content for your nice OLED TV?

Watching it on the tube always gives you more. More camera angles, replays, close ups, and commentary make it superior to take in the fight.

**BUT**

Seeing a fight card live is an experience of a lifetime, (depending on getting decent seats) you'll hear the punches, see what goes on in between rounds, and witness battle first hand. It's worth it, at least once, to take it all in.

Unless you’ve got loads of money and can sit ringside, the average bum like myself will be sitting at a distance where you aren’t going to able to see all that much of what’s going on.

Thoughts?

You're in the UK aincha? Worth going at least once for the atmosphere, but in terms of actually viewing the action it basically sucks... although granted I can't comment on what it's like from ringside cos the few times I've been it's been the budget nosebleed seats.
