So Im going to GGG vs Lemieux, and I have a couple questions about the fight. If you have ever attended a fight at the Mecca, could you please help me out on some of these? 1) Is Jimmy's Corner worth checking out before/after the fight? 2) What are the best places to check out after the fight? 3) Do stars hangout in the lobby like in vegas? 4) Do they charge for weigh ins the day before?/are the weigh ins open to the public? Thanks!!
have not gone to weigh ins there but ive been to both the reg garden and the theatre jimmys corner is tiny...its cool though....but hardly any room...didnt see any boxing celebs the times ive been there...but plenty of boxing talk going on from patrons...last time i was there i grabbed a lil table in the back with my 3 companions ive been to 3 cotto fights there...against shane, jennings, and sergio......last year after the cotto/sergio fight we andy lee outside...and then tony danza lol.....we went to some place a block or two away after ...i forget the name...it had only been open a couple of weeks
Jimmys is very tight small with great fight memorabilia on the walls but I prefer Rudys bar and grill where you get to drink pretty cheap.
Went to Klitschko vs Jennings recently and it's a great fight venue, great atmosphere Loved jimmys corner nice staff great memorabilia cheap beer for city standards and good music at least that day
i went to klitschko jennings too...went to a bar close to the garden with sports memorabilia...food was ****...dont remember the name though
