Watching Boxing at the movies

I've never done it but it seems like a great idea. Bit of a different atmosphere I guess.

 

I watched Floyd/canelo at a the mgm theatre at foxwoods ....its where they have fights and concerts(berto/Ortiz)....was a pretty good atmopshere

 

The best way to watch a fight, really. Everyone who is there is a true fan of boxing. Plus you get the super surround sound and big ass screen.

OP, are you in the US? I wasn't aware that movie theaters were showing Pacquiao-Bradley III.

 

Consider yourself lucky you get the option. The idea of doing that in aus is laughable. Hell even for the AFL granny it wont happen because its more of a "relax have a barby an beer with mates while you watch the game " scenario.

 

A friend of mine did it for one of the PBF fights says it was a good look. Great sound and picture the only drawback was that he couldn't drink as much as he wanted to because of the long waits at the concession stands.

 

i wanna try this one day

 

couldnt you just smuggle in drink?

i watch the mayweather fight in a bar that got a late license to stay up until 7am, it was tough work id been drinking for about 14 hours before the main event

 

You can only smuggle in so much espcially if you're a beer drinker. If you drink Liquor I can imagine you could would be fine. My friend is more of a beer drinker.

 

if you cant drink straight whiskey or bourbon you aren't a man or a drinker....

 

im a beer drinker too, im guessing they search you on the way in

i think this would be a great format for big boxing shows tbh

 

They did search him but it wasn't thorough he snuck in two cans of beer. The rest he had to buy at the concessions.

 

The ticket person makes minimum wage. I doubt he cares enough to search through your backpack.

 

That sounds way better, i dont know if it will be packed or not but everybody in there is guna be a boxing fan, massive screen, will feel more like ring side than sittin on your couch.

Ive never seen this offered in the UK. I would be tempted though depending on the fight.

 

In the old closed circuit days before ppv, this was the only way premium fights were shown live. From what I can remember, it was a great experience. But then again, the fights were worth paying for so that is different nowadays.
