    I'm thinking about buying tickets to Cotto-Clottey. Has anyone been to a fight at the Garden before? What are your thoughts on seating? Theres tix for $200 on the floor but back a little from the ring but then theres ones elevated for $100 that i think may be better so I wouldnt have to stand the whole fight?

    Suggestions???

    Seating is very good. Hard to find a bad seat at The Garden and depending on whose fighting, you can find yourself in a tremendous fight atmosphere.

    My dad and I sat in the 100s (I wanna say section 108) and we saw everything fine.

    my friend went to Cotto vs Mosley and said it was absolutely incredible. You can't go wrong with a Cotto fight at MSG. I would say get the floor tickets if you're tall. If not then get the best arena seats available.

    The tiered section just above the penalty box is a great section at the Gardens.:good

    100s is best, 200s is decent, don't get 300s.

    I've always wanted to go watch a Cotto fight at MSG, been planning it for a while, but none of my friends are boxing fans so i would have to go on my own.

    Go with elevated. The back of the floor can be tough to see. The elevated are good. Better angle to see the ring. On the floor you are looking up....elevated you are looking down

    Unless you can afford the best ringside seats you should go for the best elevated seats. The cheaper floor seats at the back are the worst value seats at most boxing arenas.
