Anyone else prefer to watch Boxing at home?

Going to a big event fight is very exciting if you have the ringside seats. Mingling amongst celebrities and other fighters is a lot of fun no to mention you hear the sounds of the punches landing.

That being said nothing beats the television view and I always rewatch the fight after the fact. I like to listen to corner instructions and whats going on with the fighters between rounds.

I wouldnt go to a fight if I had **** seats, its just better to watch on tv. You go to the fights for the experience, its different.

 

I just love to watch the fights however I can. When theres big huge fights like Mayweather vs. Anyone me and some friends all gather around the bigscreen with beers... theres hootin and hollerin when something good happens... its a feel good atmosphere.

But at a live event you have the whole crowd there and usually theres a megatron so you can see the fight better if yer seat is terrible. Its a whole different thing...its cool in its own way.

But theres also something to be said about enjoying a fight by yourself like the OP said. Fat beer in hand, maybe a joint... all is good. Those moments are reserved for minor fights on foreign feeds.

 

My favourite fight experience was watching Hatton v Floyd in a sports bar somewhere in Houston. The place was packed, BBQ going outside, me and 4 Canadian dudes we were the only white faces in there (and I was the only Hatton fan). Had some great banter with the locals and when Hatton got KO'ed some dude started jumping around shouting 'that little white ***** just got KTFO'. Needless to say we exited sharply...

I love watching live fights too. Being from the UK you could go see one every week, domestic, european and world level, all within a couple hours drive. The amateur meets are pretty good too.

 

Never been to a boxing event live before. And i love watching TV at my home. It helps when you have a 56" HDTV also. :good

 

Ive never been to a fight so I clicked the 3rd option.... I tried clicking in to see who else had never been to a fight but the poll wasnt public

 

How can you call yourself a boxing fan if you havent/have no intention of going to a fight live..... deary me

 

You can be a porn fan without wanting to witness it being shot live.


Edit: Boxing and porn are virtually the same thing.


Edit: Yes they are.

 

Seeing the fight live is more about the event than the actual fight. Even if you have ringside seats (which I have had). You don't get as good a view as watching it no a 50 inch HD TV where the camera angle is constantly changing to give you the best possible view.

Any time I've ever gone to a fight live I end up watching it again on replay because I didn't get a good look at everything while I was there.

 

I've been at hundreds of live fights, but I seldom go these days. I only now go to watch Froch. Too many idiots about who drink too much.

Personally I'd ban the sale of alcohol at all sporting events but I know it's never going to happen

 

:rofl Sorry Addie...I just could'nt pass it up It was just too glorious a chance to shred yer:yep

 

I'd deff ban booze or anyone glagged up at any UK boxing venue, nothings changed in 30 years & never will, thats why i don't go to anymore here period.

 

I enjoy it better at him,because me and my peoples treat it like the superbowl every big ppv or any big fight,even if its on regular showtime or hbo,and it will be no diff sat night,when williams faces cintron.

 

its strange but im much more nervous when watching at home than if im actually at the fight.

 

There's something to be said to being at the fight live. I was at the JMM-Diaz fight and the atmosphere was eletric. With that said unless your ring side and I wasn't I was in a suite you can see the fight much better from the comfort of your living room.
