Anyone else prefer to watch Boxing at home?

haven't been to a live fight... so i cant comment on that... but i do enjoy watching the fights at home because of the different angles that are shown... i would assume that your view is limited when you are at ringside...

maybe when the floyd/pac fight can be made, that'll be my first live fight i would want to go watch... :good

 

Not that we get many chances to see fights - But I would rather watch boxing at home for $ than go to a club and watch it for free.

 

I've never been to a fight live. Actually missed seeing Valero here in town vs Pitalua because I had my head up my ass that week. But I can't imagine dropping big money for a Vegas fight. Maybe its the experience, don't know. But what if I spent all that money, went to take a leak because of the beer, and got back after a ko. I'd be pissed. :?

 

I like watching at home but only with a big group of friends. The bars are fun too but you really can't hear what the announcers are saying.

BTW, if Floyd-Pac gets made, I'm there live. :good

 

Well, you know how I feel and I feel the same way about all sports. The crowds detract more for me than they add with the atmosphere. I'm not wired to need the buzz that a lot of people get from the big crowds and not much is more annoying to me then the stuff you mentioned. Drunken ****wits fighting and bitching and running each other down and the fighters and distracting me and pissing me off with their crap comments, vomiting out of their fat drunken mouths...okay, I'll stop.

 

Definently.. Gotta have the lights off too :rasta

I'd like to see a poll on this.

 

If I can't get semi close seats, why the **** bother? For the Money you spend on a few nose bleed tickets, you can get a large screen HD television. So while you can't see Larry Merchant sucking down scotch in between comments on the television, you are making a much wiser investment.

 

It is valuable if you get to see such an important part of scotch's history.

 

Live is great.
Home is good
At the movie theater is awkward. I saw the May/Mosley fight at the local box office.When I jumped and shouted , someone shushed me. DURING A FIGHT!!!!!!!

 

100% I'd rather watch the fight at home. Preferably alone with no distractions. I order PPV's and scream and yell all by myself getting drunk. Absolutely my favorite way to watch a fight. If I miss anything I'm beyond pissed. Can't see a ****ing thing at these live cards. It's a bad joke, and I'm not ready to shell out $2,000 for one event at this point. **** no.

 

I used to think like that,but once you start watching them live, its very addictive, nothing beats the feeling. The whole atmosphere is just phenomenon. But not for too much money though.
