Whats up everybody, did anybody watch the PBF-Marquez fight in the theaters? Whatever happened to that? I know in the beginning of the promotion they said it will be in theaters nationwide? But as the fight neared I really didnt hear much about it. Did anybody see it in a theater? I live in Sacramento and thought for sure it would be here in one of our theaters. Nothing. Did that concept fall through or something. It would be great for fights to be shown in the theaters. IMO having the big fights in theaters is a great way to build boxing popularity and bring in tons of young fans. I'd love for a chance to take my son to the theaters to watch some of the big fights.

I remember going to these as a kid with my pops and it was great. Actually in hindsight, I vividly recall these being DURING THE WEEK. Hagler vs. Duran , Leonard vs. Hagler, Hagler vs. Duran I recall definitely being on then school nights. The only reason I bring that up is WOW, how boxing has feel in the landscape. They had reporters from TV stations outside of the threatres covering the fight.

nuff reminiscing. To those that went, was there alcohol sales?

I live in Minnesota and at the Mall of America there used to be a sports bar that showed all the fights, especially the ones I didn't want to buy (even that heavyweight card with Rahman, Ruiz/Golotta, Holyfield/Donald and I forgot who Byrd fought that night) but watch. Trust me, watching fights amongst crowd live and/or PPV is a great experience.

I would have loved to have seen how the fight would have looked like nowadays at a movie theatre.

i GUARANTEE Arum is going to do this for Pac and Cotto.
