Boxing is amazing in person......on any level.

It's also a nightmare. I remember my friends went to a Haye/Ruiz fight and ended up watching it on the big screen. What the point? Just so you can flex and clout to say I was there? Even in a smaller venue I had my view blocked by Amir Khan' family standing up all the time :unimpressed:. I was just glad it was a free ticket I was given.

Football is terrible in person. There is absolutely nothing going on during a TV timeout. And if the offense is hideous the game will be a drag

NFL have made the game so damn good on TV, the insight and breakdown you get from each play is amazing and you only truly appreciate it when you go to a Live game

Basketball in person especially the closer to the court you are.
Nothing like having a hook up that works for the team. Been to a few timberwolves games and we would buy 200 level tickets take em to our hook up person and they would exchange em for 100 level. Sometimes we just move down on our own if the seats been empty for a minute

I like both but hockey games in person are unmatched. GOAT sport to see live

I prefer to watch basketball on TV at the crib. Just a better experience than live basketball

Soccer and Football are both dope live but I gotta travel to different countries to see quality games. However, I will say football (NFL) games are also more enjoyable at the crib. Just way too many stoppages of play

The atmosphere at soccer games in Europe (Italy, England, Portugal) and South America (Colombia) are unlike any other sporting event I've been to and these were just regular match games. I went to a game in Medellin to see the team Pablo Escobar used to own (Atletico Nacional) and there were riot police outside with armored police tanks and assault rifles :mjlol:

Basketball really depends on the crowd. Overall, it's better in person, but a dead crowd makes it boring.
Baseball is far better in person
Never been to a NFL game...don't ever feel like I'm missing anything.
I'll probably go to NHL game this month. Minor league hockey was fun tho
Boxing is great, live. You hear every punch...and damn near every comment.

Of the big three sports I watch, I prefer TV for all three.


In the case of baseball & basketball, Mets and Knicks got the best PBP team in their respective leagues and makes the game much more enjoyable when Cohen or Breen calls a big play :wow:


Maybe playoff game MLB/NBA are better than watching on TV, feeling Citi Field or MSG physically shake after the Knicks or Mets make a big play in a playoff game gotta be an incredible experience :wow:

I'd prefer TV but a great basketball game or boxing match is a great experience when surrounded by a packed crowd. I've yet to be in attendance for a classic football game and the last NFL game I attended in person(Dolphins vs Rams this past season) was just miserable all around. drunk ass fans behind me, folks trying to fight in the bathroom, non-stop pumped in noise, and the game itself was awful. I attended for free and you might have to pay me to go watch an NFL game again.

Boxing live is awesome!!! I've been to so many it can't be beat
Basketball live is cool
Football not as much. I'd honestly prefer to watch it on TV
Baseball is ok live
Tennis live is surprisingly dope!!
crazy thing about live football. I think its the massive stadiums that ruin it. I enjoyed watching my older cousins play in highschool more than i ever liked going to an NFL game.
The bleachers were small because i went to a small school. so you were much closer to the action.
