    What to expect?
    How much will it cost? I went to fandango and the system hung. Anyone ever been to one before? Any rowdiness? Will they serve liquor? I don't want liquor but I do know that contributes to guys fighting. May have to bring the gatt :goodThanks.

    Tickets are around $15.00 to $20 at the theaters near me. Maybe another $1+ or so fee if you buy online.

    You can go to the Fantom Events website to find theaters, buy tickets, etc.

    http://www.fathomevents.com/sports/event/mayweathercotto.aspx

    Enter your zip code near the bottom of the page.

    You probably know more about the conditions at theaters near your locale as anyone else.

    They don't do it often here in the U.S. (any longer).

    Just Mayweather fights.

    Saw may JMM in theater. Very worth experiencing. With the exception of getting in a sportsbar free, I like the theatre atmosphere

    $15-20 sounds better than the $55 or so I paid for the last PPV. I may go for it.

    I saw May/Ortiz in the theatre. It was great. Not a whole lot of talking going on in the crowd yet there were plenty of loud reactions whenever something good happened. I am probably gonna watch May/Cotto in the theatre as well.

    To the TS, its worth it. Give it a shot.

    When i went the last for Ortiz fight i went solo and meet other boxing fans who also happened to be going solo. I didn't even know boxing was that popular where i live as it's a big football area. So you will be alright and if you are an outgoing person it will give you a chance to talk **** to total strangers about boxing.

    how old are you? if you're old enough, you can pull off the older man who likes boxing trick

    I went dolo to theaters to watch Marquez Diaz II. There was one other person in the screen who was sitting there all alone in the screen just watching the fight.

    If you want to go alone, don't worry about it. I watched multiple fights in theaters and can tell you there's no one you need to worry about impressing. Boxing fans are a very down to earth group. There aren't no unfly, insecure girls around focusing on you for being the loner duckling.

    Do what I do when I watch amatuer fights, wear a hat or cap.

    I go and scout other clubs, my own club will only buy one poxy ticket so I'm by myself, but I just wear a flat cap and everyone leaves me be.

    boxing fans I've met in real life have generally been shy and sweet types just looking to have a good time. nothing like the know it all douchebags you encounter on forums. you'd be lucky to find someone that wants to sit there and talk about all the scientific technical ****

    there's a few loud cheerleaders here and there, but you won't run into any nerds with their atg legacy discussions in the theater
