Hi Guys, I've never actually been to a public weigh in the night before the fight. Where do they hold them?
(sorry if that is a stupid question)

Re: Weigh Ins
I've only been to one and that was in a hotel lobby. Well, not the lobby proper, but an open area next to the lobby.

Re: Weigh Ins
All of the public weigh-in's that I have been too were for big fights & took place @ the conference room or convention center of the casino's hotels.

Like Liquid and Wacko said they are usually in the hotel or somewhere close to where the event is taking place...EG if the event is being held someplace other then a casino or somethng it would be at the place that hosted the press conferences or hotel that is housing fighters promoters ect....
Not all weigh in's are public....Big fights like Mosley Cotto may be private.....just because a fight that big the weigh in's would get out of hand with 10,000 prople attending.....
You can usually find out on the promoters web site if they are public or just media

Re: Weigh Ins
One thing Ive always found amusing, is the applause when someone makes weight never understood that .Thats what they are supposed to do, just find it strange, they even do it with Heavys.

Re: Weigh Ins
I would imagine people are just happy that the fight is almost guaranteed after waiting so long.

Re: Weigh Ins
it usually depends where the fight is being held.
Sometimes if its at a nice arena that has a conference hall, or media location they will do it there. Sometimes the location of the fight has a contract with a local hotel to promote the fight,and the hotel will have the contract to hold the weigh in, and pre-fight conference. You can call the office of the promotion company handling the fight, they will tell you where it is, if it has been decided.
Good luck! take pics!
