    I've definately not been to as many as i would like!!!!

    I've been to several amatuer fights (both to spectate and fight)
    been to 4 domestic pro am cards (fought in 3)

    and as far as international fights go.. I've went to
    Anthony Mundines "World title" defence against Nader Hamden and Danny Green VS Roy Jones Jr.

    Unfortunately we dont get many big international fights out ihere in Australia. :-( and apprentice pay wont get me to the states or uk for them. I'll travel to see some more big fights soon enough thouugh!!

    was at bradley/campbell and what a piece of **** show that was! the only good thing about it was getting to yell "witter quitter" after junior witter quit against devon alexander,i can't forget to mention that bradley was treated like a god after the fight when he walked out,like he had just done something so amazing! no,it wasn't amazing because it was a no contest.

    I'll be at ward vs green though :bbb

    Floyd vs Oscar
    Green vs RJJ
    Cotto vs Clottey
    Pavlik vs Miranda

    each time i go to the US for work i find out when im going, pick a fight thats on at the time and fly to wherever it is to see it. **** it, i deserve the reward.

    If your talking about a big fight, then just one, Pacquiao-Larios.

    If it's just a live fight, then to many too count. I'm a boxing judge. :D

    Jesus christ for a fellow brit you certainly have been to some huge fights over in the states. You must be on some fairly decent income i bet the seats werent that cheap for some of those fights.

    how much do you normally spend on your vegas trips?

    flights, hotel, tickets and that

    i've been seriously considering doing it for a while now and i heard it's not as expensive as people think, but it must hurt your pockets quite a bit no?

    The Mrs and I are going to Mayweather vs. Mosley

    Costs Per Person from Glasgow

    Flights + Hotel for six nights £650
    Fight Ticket £215

    So £865 plus spending money! I'll be going with the best part of £1000 but you can't go crazy. The place is expensive and I don't touch gambling.

    Don't book a package deal from Boxing Monthly or Boxing News. They are robbing *******s!

    The majority of the posts put me to shame...only ever been to one local professional show. Other than that, i've boxed amateur so been all around the UK. I've seen many, many amateur cards around the UK, Four Nations, England v ...etc.
