Mayweather vs Marquez To Be Shown Live @ Movie Theaters!!!

or what about kids who's parents think boxing is stupid and dont want to waste 50 dollars... just like my parents used to do with old wwf pay per views...

little kids can just roll right up in the theater no problem

 

is there a damn link so you can check if it is showing in your area?

 

**** yeah

I would love this:happy:happy

They're already doing this in the Philipines

 

Exactly
And fans at sports bars don't tear each other's heads off.
Some movie theatres even serve beer

 

awesome..i'll theater sneak into this one..

 

Even better "movie theaters" have crappy security have crappy security. Sneaking beer in will be a easy.

 

what fight that isnt a summer blockbuster would be big enough to show them in legitimate movie theatres without
losing tons of money?

listen, assuming that the fight isn't held at every movie theatre in a given area, which it wouldn't, simply because there arent enough fans these days to accomodate many theatres, the ONE, or TWO, at most, movie theatres showing the fight, would be undoubtedly overstuffed like I said, at least in my city and other cities. it would be pointless to do it out in the boondocks, there wouldnt be enough of a projected profit. Im thinking logically.

 

If im broke, have no job, have a tiny little ass tv, have an uncomfortable house, have no tv...etc etc I probably suck and doesnt care about boxing anymore, i'd be out looking for something to eat:yep

Seriously, its being done here, every Pac fight, a few Movie houses opens early in the morning 6am, to show the fight live! people actually went the first few times, but were complaining afterwards. It will be rowdy, so dont bring the kids, NO alcohol allowed, as the theatre may end up a mess afterwards, clashes of fans may likely happen.

This will likely be successful at first, because its a new thing and some would go just for the heck of it. It wont last that long tho. Nothing beats watching it LIVE, at the comfort of your home with friends and family, Sports Bar with the goons, etc.

 

Uh Mayweather is no Tyson ..Can't see how this doesn't flop ..But good for them if it suceeds ..Hey if they show it in I max I might go ..

 

Again your not thinking out of the of the box. Lose what money? its not that expensive to show a fight at a movie theater. There are plenty of movies that bomb at theaters. Does that stop movie producers from showing their other movies in the theaters. Ugh no.

Boxing needs another outlet besides Showtime, HBO, and whatever else. And since the promoters don't have the balls to show boxing on free television. This is the next best thing.

 

Yeah Mayweather is no Tyson. Since Mayweathers recent PPVs have outsold Tysons.

 

i'll take my girl buy her the ticket, and i'll sneak in:yep


in second thought:-(

 

ugh, your wrong? Thats the reason sequels dont get made buddy, when it bombs. If a movie bombs, studios lose money, lots of money, intended to be repaid through ticket sales. it would be the same loss for the production companies that sponsor circuits to tons of movie theatres for a low profile fight that wouldnt sell. and dont go saying they could limit the amount of theatres, because then, there wouldnt be enough money to be made, which would make top boxing promoters give a great big HELL NO:good to the idea, guaranteed.

it isnt the next best thing because they would have done it already, they know that its illogical considering the other options people have and use in excess to view the fight

 

Outsold Tyson ??What in Gods name are you talking about ??


When did any of MW's PPV ever do bigger numbers than Tyson's worst ppv 's ?

Oh and the fight with Oscar doesn't count ..
