Do you prefer Live or TV fights

I am not sure if it is just me but I much prefer to watch a big fight on the TV than Live, maybe it's because I have been to so many live shows they have just lost the novelty for me. At one stage I was going to at least 2 shows a week, you have to sit through all the undercard, which generally has a number of poor fights, then if TV is involved they are big delays to make sure the main events start on time. There are no replays so if you miss something it is tough unless it is a really big fight and they have a screen. Not to mention the travel to and from.

With TV you can sit at home and relax with a few mates, hear each other talk and watch replays of the fight, see all the things you may have missed at the event, the only thing that does frustrate me is if there is a decent fight on the undercard they sometimes don't show it.

Maybe I have just become lazy, but from the last 4 shows I have been to I only actually lasted the full show once, going home to watch the main event after a couple of fights.

I prefer TV fights. It's just more fun comfortable.

You have likely or may have lost the adrenaline flow for the fight then, unless it is your own fighter.

I see people in a ring duking it out, I get pumped up! I start to dance and throw my own blows as they happen, and scream and giggle like a happy little girl when some one lands a big hard blow. I ache to be in there and also want it to happen. I imagine those that are pure fans also get that same rush also but can only guess.

I haven't seen many fights though, and certainly no big name ones...so maybe in time that may fade, but I sure hope not.

You can never beat the atmophere of actually being in the same venue of a fight than you feel when watching it at home with your mates.I love having a few lads coming round and watching a main fight on t.v,i mean we have daft bets on who'll win and enjoy a couple of cans.Then again to be there at a live major fight is great!!I find the undercard fights really good before all of the major fights weather its small local title bouts or a big occasion bout.

Im 60% on being there live and 40% on chilling out on me sofa with a can or two!

TV for me usually because i'm driving and cant have a drink at the live shows so TV and a few beers is my preference ;)

Although it would seem like live fights would be better, for me TV shows are more entertaining. For some strange reason, if I already know the outcome of the fight, I'm able to enjoy it more, it becomes more interesting. :dontknow: It seems like it'd be the opposite but I guess that's the human mind for you I guess... :confused:

I like to listen to the commentators and watch the slowmo replay.

Good topic. But imo, the thread starter should've made a poll.

Try clicking "edit" on your first post of this page. And you should see poll option on the bottom. I don't know if it would still allow you though. Just give it a shot bro.

I know what you are saying. For me, it depends on the seats. If you are really close, live is off course better. But with mediocre or bad seats, i would rather being watching the fight at home on the TV

Yes, it seems on TV you can here the commentators better, and the slowmo is good to watch on some of those nasty shots.

Both are great but i haven't been to any sports event that i had decent seats for that was better on t.v. that it was live. Nothing beats being there...

I agree. My brother saw boxing live for the first time earlier in the month and he absolutely loved it. Said it was awesome. I agree, boxing is such an awesome sport live I love it.
