    Hey guys,

    Not sure if this is the right place to post this, but I recently moved to LA from NYC and am looking for bars that show Boxing events. Typically I can find places that have the big PPV fights, but I've never been able to track down HBO / Showtime events. I would assume there has to be a market for these types of things no?!?

    Appreciate the help!

    Depends on the fights, but several Mexican restaurants/bars show boxing, usually located in Mexican neighborhoods.

    Also, a lot of the Casinos have restaurants where you can watch fights.

    Unfortunately, despite Los Angeles being the best fight town in the world, not a lot of the known places show boxing.

    Any specific names of Mexican bars you can think of? The biggest issue I see is getting them to have HBO or Showtime. I have yet to find a bar that has that option for some reason

    Weird. I’m flying to Santa Monica from New York right now, waiting for takeoff. I would try Busby’s, but that’s not a guarantee. The Showtime App is also worth the price if you don’t use a TV.

    Alaska Airlines is garbage.

    Thanks! I'm focused on trying to watch the Garcia fight, but that's on Showtime!
