    There is nothing more enjoyable in the line of sports then being ringside for a fight.
    I've been courtside to basketball games on the side lines of football & soccer games.

    But and I mean nothing beats sitting ringside for a World Class fight.
    Having sat ringside for JLC-Corrales I, Rafa vs. Izzy 1 & 3.
    I can tell you there is nothing like it.
    NOTHING.

    I've never been to a live sporting event besides high school football and few Baltimore Orioles games. I left the stadium early each time.

    It is hard for me to imagine enjoying the fights amidst a restless crowd as much as I do viewing from the comfort of my own home. Snacks are free and there are no lines for the bathroom.

    Still, I have nothing to compare it to and Mick does make it sound amazing.

    Besides, I need the guys in the booth to tell me who won the fight. hehe

    Well the snacks are completely free as you paid for them at one point.
    When your VIP-Ringside you don't have to stand in line for anything.

    Truely is Silverback...
    You are there you are part of history.
    I will forever be part of JLC-Corrales 1.
    Only about 5,000 people were there that night in that arena to see what is argueably the greatest comeback & the greatest fight of all time.
    My eyes saw it, nobody needs to tell me anything about it cause I lived it I was there.

    Good thing is that they didn't track me down and made me pay for the chair.

    I think it very much depends on how comfortable you feel in a large crowd and whether you enjoy the sense of atmosphere you get from a live event.

    I have to say I'm more inclined to Boxing Gorilla's way of thinking. Going to a live event all seems to much effort. Driving to the event, queuing to get in, waiting around for the fights to start, queuing for food, not being able to properly see everything going on, the itching, anxious feeling I get that increasingly builds and builds when my computer and I seperated, it's all too much.

    However I have to say I'd much rather be like CutMeMick, who feels no such anxiety, who loves to get out and socialise, who feels comfortable enough not only to presume he can sit ringside with the stars, but also has the audacity to dress better than them and approach them.

    If I had CutMeMick's personality I would definitely love going to the fights.

    Unless you have really bad seats, you shouldn't have any problem seeing anything. In fact, the cameras are positioned halfway up the seats usually and not on the floor. If you have ringside seats but are in like row 10 of the floor seats then you probably have pretty shitty seats. Those are the seats where it's hard to see everything because you have people in front of you, the ref and the turnbuckles to deal with.

    I have to admit, my last fight I went to was pretty crazy. All the Hells Angels were there. And I mean all of them, all from California I think. They've been to shows before but they are an intimidating bunch, all in red crowding the place I was walking through in my blue shirt hoping to God I didn't step on any shoes.

    But that wasn't so bad, until I learned that there was a Hells Angel fighting All that was running through everyone's mind is "What the hell happens if he loses?", and they were going crazy for him. Sounded like a Sharks game it was VERY loud and the whole time I was just hoping for an end and no riot over a bad decision. Luckily he was fighting a no hoper.

    "Sometimes" I love your sense of humor... sometimes.

    Could you imagine if he had lost?
    I don't think anyone would have made it out alive from there.
