seeing a live fight

[Spicoli]

In the words of one Rocky Balboa....Go fa it!! I've only been to a few cards locally but I'm sure by 'cheap' you will not be hanging out in the rafters catching nose bleeds. Check into the layout and seating arrangments, angles and I'm sure there are a few guys on here who can offer some tips and how to maximize the experience etc. Nothing beats a live venue and the experience. I payed cheapy years back and they actually bumped us up front to 'fill' seats, live broadcast and all. Have fun with it but make sure your close enough to the camera with a huge sign

You can't beat a live fight. I make a point of trying to go to at least 1 a year now. Cheap seats are generally fine. I've only had one bad experience and that is at the O2 Arena for Haye-Maccarinelli and to be honest, they weren't that cheap. In the US cheap seats seem pretty good anywhere. I went to MSG in moderate seats and had a great view.

In short, go for it. That should be a great card and I'm jealous I can't be the one to see Macklin knocked out.

Seeing a fight live is more fun than seeing a fight by broadcast because you are situated with a bunch of hungry boxing fans.

I remember watching Jermain Taylor versus Carl Froch and talking so much trash to this crew of guys, who had made the trek from Notthingham and were supporting Carl Froch, and then, that famous twelfth round happened, and they turned the tables. It was all in good humor. Anyway, you won't get that experience sitting in your living room watching a fight.

At the same time, in my opinion, there's a reason that some seats cost more than other seats. I have had a lot more fun in really good seats. The action is up close and personal. The members of the boxing media that you recognize are all situated nearby. For me, if I can afford it, I go with high end seats. The best move though often is is to buy seats in the front row of the second-highest priced section, which you can only get the day they are released, because they are basically the same as seats in the highest priced section.

Have a blast.

Hey thanks for all the feed back. I have actually only watched Macklin fight once and it didn't look too pretty. Could you guys recommend a couple of his fights I can watch on YouTube which may educate me better before I see him. Being that I am Irish (heritage) I always root for the guy with the Irish last name, even if it is to my own financial demise.
