Could not disagree with you two more on having to be up close to the action. Over the last few years I've been to Gatti-Ward I, II and III (closest for the first, not a bad seat in the house at AC Boardwalk Hall), Hopkins-DLH (last row in the Grand Garden Arena), Morales-Pacquiao (One row off of the floor) and the atmosphere and buildup in the arena for these fights is unmatched, especially when nationalistic pride comes into play as it did in the last two mentioned fights. In Vegas there's nothing like a big fight night, espcially a DLH fight. Nothing beats a big time prize fight. Not HD, not a big screen TV, not HBO.
