Stadium fight with coked up drunk casuals or sit indoors and stream on Netflix? No brainer, stadium events if there for the actual boxing, via my last experience ever of a stadium fight Usyk v DDD on a free ticket which I had, no thanks I rather watch it indoors.
I've always enjoyed it. I don't do drugs and always manage to swerve the dickheads so I've always had a good time. What was your experience mate?
Usyk v DDD and I was in club Wembley free ticket, only had a drink in pub before and two during the time I was in there. People around us no interest in the boxing just buying drink every 20 to 30m, each to their own, but may as well watch it at home then do your drink and drugs in peace. Full of idiots, drunk, drugged and after the event which ended at 10 40pm on a nice summers evening thankfully. Didn't get into Wembley station until after midnight. Half the people backed up the stairs on the Jubilee line crush like, not realising if you went to the Metropolitan line it got you on a fast train to Baker Street direction, four of us and a small % knew what we were doing. Struggled through the mass of pissed up idiots and got down to the platform. Tube workers directing people who didn't want to listen, wasn't anything they could do. People almost fighting in the station, I'm getting on in years, **** that.
My mate was trying to blag me to go watching that fight. I was tempted as I love Usyk and would have been great to say I've seen him live. I stood my ground and said it would be full of idiots and the boxers would look like ants in the distance. He went and said afterwards he wished he'd listened to me. Where they were sat didn't even have a good view of the tv screens and it was full of coked up idiots.
It's not the sales that are low, it's the venues that are too big. Ten years ago this would have sold out an arena with no problem and everyone's happy; now it's almost a mark of shame not to fight in a stadium.
Club Wembley so decent view, talking to my mates we were saying even if you had floor tickets (crazy prices) what do you see? Not much unless you stand up! Probably younger people may enjoy it but I won't go to a stadium fight again, I live overseas that day I was up at 3-30am to get a flight to stanstead and returned the next day, that factored in tbh didn't help my mood. Sober or not. Arena fights, brilliant O2, Wembley Arena, Royal Albert Hall (fantastic small but ALL excellent seats) never a bad experience the opposite all memorable nights and people off their nut at those, just less and more boxing fans by far. The Wembley Stadium experience, terrible really so much negatives outweighed seeing Usyk, only felt happy when on that Met line leaving after. Any poster thinking of going to a stadium event, just weigh it up, wasn't for me!
Thanks for the info, bagged a pair now Hopefully there's a couple of decent fights and Conor gets chinned Looking forward to checking out the new spurs ground if nothing else
