Best Venues for fights

[El Kabong]

So where would you love to go see a fight if you could

Madison Square Garden
Caesar's Palace
Staples Center
SuperDome
MEN
Boardwalk Hall, Atlantic City, NJ
SAP Arena Hamberg

Where would you choose? What has the best fight night feel to it?

I don't like New York but The Garden has to be THE BEST for fights, if I was to see a big time fight I would want to see it there.

Caesar's Palace in Vegas is a distant 2nd

In todays time I would say

Boardwalk
Ceasers
Staple


In yester year

Maddie Square
The Olympic Grand
The Legion Stadium

well over all Madison Square Garden is the world's most famous!

i personally sat in pretty pimp seats Staples Center( Vitali Klitschko vs Corrie Sanders) that place was pretty Fin HUGE and the crowd was banannas. if u seen Entourage season 1 they actually filmed an episode that night with the whole crew sitting ringside.

Mandalay Bay I was sitting ringside for RJJ vs Tarver 1 and thats a pretty pimp venue. Oh shiiit i hate to admit it but i also saw Holyfield vs Ruiz 2 here too hahahaha. I think Mandalay Bay is the current hot spot for vegas fights.

Thomas and Mack center I saw RJJ vs Ruiz here. the venue is pretty cool but you can tell its mostly geared to other type of events more so than boxing.

id love to see a fight in MGM just cuz my favorite color is GREEN!!!!

Ceasars Place would be pimp too just for all the nostalgia they got a big statue of Joe Louis in their lobby right across from PURE.

York Hall in Bethnal Green, England is the spiritual home of british boxing, and is such a great venue, I've been lucky enough to go there once and it has an unbelivable atmosphere. The MEN is aslo terrific, I saw 2 of my favourite boxers win their career defining fights there (Hatton and Calzaghe) and you guys got to see the cauldron like atmosphere, especially at Hatton vs Tszyu, just magic. Lyle, great thread and thanks for reminding me of the atmosphere.

I think you can only appreciate the atmosphere if your watching live on tv or are there in the flesh. One of my favourite boxing memories was as a 10 year old staying up till 5.30am with my dad watching Prince Naseem vs Kevin Kelley at MSG. WOW what a crowd and what an atmosphere. That left an indelible mark on me as I only watched boxing on tv when Bruno, Naz, Benn, Eubank or my dads friend Jimmy Neary was boxing, I didn't appreciate it as much as I do now and have done for the last 2/3 years, Ricky Hatton got me into boxing like I am now (I'm 1, made me pick up the gloves myself even, but nights like Naz vs Kelley, Bruno v Tyson, Naz vs Barrera (Very sad) and other great nights with british stars in GREAT venues that I watched as a kid made me the worldwide boxing fan I am now, where i can't get enough it. The venue adds to the occassion.
