    My first Pay Per View was Leonard/Hearns in 81

    It was not PPV, but somewhat like it. I saw it Closed Circuit in the Halifax Forum in Nova Scotia.

    I was 13

    Everyone was leaving saying: "The Hitman got hit!"

    I saw Hagler vs Hearns and Tyson vs. Spinks in the same venue via Closed Circuit. It felt like you are actually at the fights, along with 5000 fellow screaming fans. it was a lot of fun and I wish they still did it that way. They had preliminary live action which added to the fun. I miss those days!

    Yes, planning on it. MSG is great.

    Chances are it'll be IF and when he fights PBF....
    If that fight ever happens, I'm planning on going, whether it's in NYC or Vegas.

    I'm gonna be at Williams vs. Quintana & Marquez vs. Vasquez III... So I'm really looking forward to that.
    That's great, Marquez-Vasquez III should be awesome.

    You planning on going to Floyd-Oscar II if it's in Carson?
    I don't know yet..
    I mean theres a possibility but I wont get ringside seats for that crap....
    If anything I'll just get a regular priced seat.

    The first one I can remember clearly was Tyson - Spinks. That was a very short experience but I remember it like it was yesterday.

    There must have been others since I know my dad loved seeing the Tyson fights but that is the first I remember.

    Probably Holyfield vs. Lewis II.
    I knew nothing of boxing but thought Holyfield got screwed over.
    "You knocked him down...now how bout you try knockin me down ?"

    I was lucky my sister worked at a cable company and had all the PPV fights free in the 1990's.

    Had to pay later so the first was Lewis v Tyson, also remember ordered Jones v Ruiz on setanta because it was an historic event cost £12.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    Things are fuzzy on First PPV I saw live........The first I purchased and absolutly wrecked my first apartment Was Holyfield Vs. Foreman.The cost of the fight was nattas compared to the Fat keg and the lose of the security deposit ,Ouch.F!!!! It.I regret nothing.

    Great event all around ,and just as i was Joked before the Holyfield vs.Douglas fight when I said Holyfield W. Ko Douglas In the 5th ( before we knew he was sporting some mean manboobs)......No one thought Foreman would make a fight of It.Those 23 hooks off Foremans noggin were amazing.Holyfield was hurt big time to the body (5th) and really gassed at end. Memories abound

    Well the De La Hoya Trinidad was me renting it but the first PPV I seen was Tyson Holyfield in which my brother rented but the bill went to the same place so I guess Holyfield Tyson was the first one.
