Who actually goes to watch boxing here?

Just the large cards as its hard to convince others. Highlight of 2012 was Mayweather Cotto for sure. Didn't go to many domestic fights but went to Froch Bute and Groves Johnson.

 

Only got into boxing really when I joined here 2years ago and being a student I can't often convince anyone to come along to a show for £30+ if they don't know the fighter.

Took one mate to see Jeffs Prizefighter which was a quality night and was going to head down to Kats-Burns with the free tickets they were giving away for that but didn't happen. Been to a few Pro-AM events out here which I have fought on or guys from my gym were on. Got a few mates who are into it now so when I get back I'm going to make sure I get along to more cards.

 

I have not been to hundreds of boxing events, but have been to a varierty, been to a few amateur events, a few small hall shows, a few big domestic shows and once to Vegas

But yes, the majority of boxing Ive seen has been on the TV or computer

 

Used to go alot more (mainly MEN to watch hatton) but most of my mates are into UFC now - and can't understand why I haven't jumped ship. Still go most local shows (liverpool) and ventured to hamburg for haye v klich. Not as much as I'd like though !

 

Generally,on tv,as most do.I try to never miss a "live" show at MSG and now will catch more events in Brooklyn at the Barclays Center.
The Big Apple delivers big time quality events.

 

been to a few klitschko fights,just for the atmosphere and so i can say "i saw the heavyweight champion of the world fight".locally go to see guys like ricky burns ,alex arthur as well as supporting new pros such as john mccallum.

 

Go to all fights in the North East however due to a lack im gonna increase the distance i travel so gonna go to a few shows in Doncaster, Leeds and probably a Coldwell show in Rotherham. Biggest fights ive been to have probably been Khan/Salita and Booth/Molitor. If you go to a show in the north east and see someone sitting near the back in a hoody and jeans writing something down between round its probably me.

 

what ever i can get to
when ever i can get to

 

I'll go to most local shows and all the Matchroom shows within 120 miles (Froch & Brook)

 

Used to go when I was little, but not no more.

Not when it started becoming over run by pissed up Jeremy Kyle zombies looking to scrap and argue at the fight.

 

The best seat in the house, is always in your living room, comfortable and free to get up eat food out of the fridge and drink some fruit juice. I prefer to watch big fights on the TV, i enjoy the punditry the build up in the studio. The angles of TV and coverage is by far better than sitting in some crap seating area.

I have been to the Liverpool Olympia afew times to watch fights, it was cold, unhygienic, and full of people who where irritating me. Even though i was ringside, the whole experience irritated me.

 

Stopped going when I noticed the production is dire and the cards are not competative

 

I did go to a few shows in the late 90s. It was a lot of hassle getting there and back as nobody wanted to drive. I decided I prefer watching it in my own house.

 

I actually want to go to a big fight soon but none of my friends are into boxing n I aint goin by myself, I wanna save up n go to a big america fight that would be amazin

 

I cover most matchroom shows in London for Doghouse and a few others here and there. Allegedly, I am unable to get a press pass for shows put on by another promotion organisation of high profile.
