    I been to MGM, Mandalay Bay, MSG , Sheffield and Manchester G-MEX.

    But for me you can't beat Manchester MEN. Good view wherever you are - even if the guy in front is 7 foot tall. Been to about ten shows there. You actually have a better view in the first rows of the tiered seats than you do at the back of ringside (and save about £200 !!)

    Was in Philadelphia couple of years ago doing my lifelong ambition Rocky Tour. Though no fights were scheduled at Blue Horizon I went along to see it but door was locked. As I was looking through some woman opened it and asked what I wanted. She heard by broad yorkshire accent and on realising I had come halfway round the world invited me in for a quick tour. Had a look round and can only imagine what its like on a fight night as MHM says. You are so close to the action it must be amazing ! Tommy Gunn had a fight there in Rocky V !

    The woman told me she was only first female afro american fight promoter in the state or something like that. Forget what she was called. Still an interesting day.

    Gone off on a bit of a tangent there but you get the general idea

    I rarely miss cards that takes place at the Home Depot Center in Carson California cuz I live nearby.. Rafael Marquez/Izzy, Margarito/Williams, Arreola and others fight here often and anyone who has been to the venue would say that there's not a bad seat in the house.. HDC has the greatest seating of all the venues ive been too...

    Yea as Mark states the MEN Manchester is a wicked venue, great views from the tiers, much better than floor action, was on the 1st row of seats on the tier for Hatton's fights with Kostya and Tackie, great views !

    The Paris in Vegas was shite, not recommended, simply cos they kept the bloody lights on all way through the fighting, very strange !

    MGM, wicked venue, just a bitch to get out from at the end of the fight I found!
