CFH,
I've had te opp. to attend profesional american football games, baseball, soccer, basketball & hockey games.
But I can honestly say that there is nothing like sitting rinside for a fight. Having sat in several it's something that's undiscribable and incredible to be able to be so close to the action. For example when I was ringside for Williams vs. Quintana I, I literally felt I was working for the Quintana corner as I was right behind them and I could hear the instructions and what they were saying. You can see the punches cleaner and the sounds, along with many otheer things that the camera doesn't catch.
Not to mention you get to rub shoulders with some of your favorite fighters which is always fun when you get to shake hands and thank them personally for their efforts in the ring.
Oh, I have no doubt that it's a great experience, I just rarely have the opportunity. I live a couple of hours from Vancouver, and we just don't get a lot of fights around here. I've been prepared twice to shell out big buck to see Pac fight in Vancouver, but both times bigger fights have gotten in the way of him coming here (Marquez II and now ODH).
I've actually seen very few professional sporting events live. I saw the Canucks beat up on the Red Wings last year, which was great, and I've also seen two CFL games, which were also a lot of fun, but that's it really.
I'm trying to figure out if there's anyway I can get to Ontario to see Molitor - Caballero, but I doubt it as I'm in school and I hate flying.
