Going to my first live match a and got a question

[armin]

Alright armin you might say I have a little experience in attending fights...

A few pointers:
Don't forget your tickets
Don't forget your ID
Camera fully charged & SD card with full capacity (If possible an extra battery & SD card would be great)
Arrive early and enjoy the FULL event. That's what you paid for trust me I have seen the beginings of some really good careers. Some debuts and also early career fights of some now really good and known fighters. "Super G" Proksa, "Baby Bull" Diaz, DeMarco, Paez Jr, Yohnny Perez, Angulo, Gamboa and also Jessie Vargas. I can go on and on. The undercards are IMO just as important and as entertaining as the main event. You might just be seeing an early glimpse at a future superstar

Also optional you can take sharpie (marker) and you can go to any sporting goods store and buy a pair of gloves so you can get some signatures on there. Trust me you will be amazed at how many boxers & entertainers show up. A simple hello can you sign my glove will suffice and of course a thank you is always great. You and your friend can take turns taking the pics. Don't hesitate to walk up and ask cuz if you don't someone else will and your going to regret not asking. Live it up my man. Trust me you'll be happy you listened to me once you look back and see what you would have missed out on.
Posters like PrideOfBoston and the once mike_the_man and also other posters like mickey_luvsu have followed my advice and have some pretty neat autographs & pictures.

If you want to you can also up grade your tickets... Not sure where you will be seating but incase you guys are pretty far back. The 1st mistake you can make is go to an usher and ask where are your seats. Because they have now eyed you and know where you belong. So try to figure it out on your own. Once you know don't got directly there if there are empty seats closer without having to show your stub go closer. I have yet to sit down in a seat and have the actual people who own the ticket show up. Maybe just luck. And if they do just say sorry my mistake and move a row a back. I talked my way thru security at the PBF-ODLH press conference here in LA and also the MAB-Juarez press conference also here in LA. You just gotta find your way thru if you want to do that...

When I went to go see Bradley vs. Peterson I had 2nd level seats. To be honest it was a great view like from a balcony I posted some pictures. But I made way down stairs and wound up sitting ringside for the main event. I met Lennon Jr., Angulo & Danny Green there. You just gotta keep your eyes open and watch how the security works and the 2nd you catch one of them not looking or get distracted you make your move.

Good luck my man... Enjoy. I looked up the event and the card looks really good.

Thanks for the advice mick. I wasnt sure about cameras if youre allowed or not but I guess you are so definitely taking it with me. As for autographs heck yeah I'm getting some if I happen to run into any of them...and I just now looked the actual card up on boxrec and there is like 10 matches so yeah I'll be showing up at 5 and watching the whole thing, I just didn't want to show up at 5 and have to wait 2 hours for anything to happen. As for sneaking into better seats I think we'll probably take normal seats first, scope the situation out and see if we can move up some

CutMeMick,
I did the same for the Floyd Mayweather Jr. vs Juan Manuel Marquez fight. I arrived early when the MGM Grand was almost empty. I was surprised that even though the ticket said the event started at a certain time, hours before there were fights.

When people started coming in, 3 fights before the main event, I saw empty seats in the distance and I kept my eyes fixed on those seats as the fights went on. Nobody was seating in those seats so on the main event I simply walked down there and took them. The worse thing that could have happened is have some guys tell me “Excuse me, those are my seats” and I would just act dumb as if I got confused with my tickets and move back to my seats, no problem. I do the same for concerts.

[Althugz]

Great advice, Mick! My only beef with some of the undercard fights is the lack of atmosphere in an empty arena. For some reason it makes the fight less exciting but if you go to a lesser show, for example in the U.K, Sky Sports still use leisure centres and small halls for their TV shows, there is always a good atmosphere regardless. From the 1st fight through to the main event which I love

Great shout on the changing seats too..I did that for the Haye vs Enzo fight - We were so high in the rafters, I spotted some seats on the ground level which weren't taken up until the main event so I tried to navigate towards them on my own and managed to find the seats without being questioned. Friends loved me for that

Either way our good seats didn't last very long as it was a 2 rounder!

I also bring a tiny notebook and pencil to score the fights. Watching multiple back to back I can never remember what scored if I don't write them all down at the time. My buddy and I that I watch fights with both do this and then compare cards after each fight, it's one of may fav parts.
