That's the first time I heard someone say that. I have watched fights alone plenty of times, but I like it better watching with others. Especially true boxing fans.
I agree, it's like with football. I love going to the games because of the atmosphere and fan involvement, but I love to watch it at home as well with other fans.
Maybe Oscar is planning on showing this in the Phillipines on Closed Circuit only as i suspect not everyone there has Hd ready tv's yet and they are that fanatical about Pac he might take a gamble on showing it there in that format instead of PPV TV figuring the Pac fans there would shell Bucks to see this fight . Would that make sense ?
I remember my old dad coming home from the pub on sat night with his mates and then going "into town " to watch these fights from the states Closed circut but that must have been late 60's early 70's , Ali & co were the fighters if i remember correctly , he swore by them pre sky dish era they were the only way to watch it live .
