    I'm thinking of getting tickets for my son and I to attend the froch/groves rematch.
    Do you think he is too young to go to this?
    Thanks for the advice!!

    I don't think I have ever seen a lad as young as ten at a boxing show. I don't think there would be an age limit for the fight you're thinking about going to. If you'd be happy to take the chance with some industrial language at a footy match then you'd not hear anything worse at the boxing. He'd certainly make all his mates green with envy.However I do wonder how good a view anyone will get attending boxing at a footy ground without spending a fortune on the tickets. Personally I would take him to a local small hall show first and gauge his reaction.

    I agree 100% mate, take him to a smaller show and see if he enjoys it, if you have to pay good money for the Groves vs Froch fight and he isn't enjoying it then it will be a very long and costly night for you!!

    Possibly yes depending on how protective you are of him.

    The problem with boxing is it takes place in the evening which gives drunken oafs all day to get pissed and cause trouble later on.

    There's going to be upwards of 50,000 people at this show and you better believe that a good portion of that crowd are going to pissed up football fans.
