Do you stay until the end of shows?

As the title says- or do you usually leave after the main event?

I tend to hang around, mainly just to get my money's worth, and also it seems a shame for the boxers if everyone buggers off and they are fighting in front of an almost empty venue.

I've seen some really good fights on the undercards after most of the crowd have gone. I guess boxing is unusal in that often the main event doesn't climax the show ( due to TV and also the fact that fight lengths vary greatly).

I've ntoiced that often people stay because a fighter is a friend/gym mate etc.

I'd only go early if travel is going to be differcult.
You can see some good prospects late on, so always good to know who's up and coming

Yes I always stay to see all the fights - even if its a SN 15 fight marathon

Depends on who is left to fight, how the main event went and how long it takes for me to get home!

I'am always in my seat at the start of the bill though, and try to take in every fight before the main event.

Depends on how I'm getting home. Even if it's a shit fight, I'll try and stay.

Have to get the last train/tube, which despite living in one of the supposedly most modern cities in the world, means leaving at about 11pm.

TD - That was a poor night, and I had to drive back to Wales after that show. The 8th did drag, and it was cold, but the worst I've ever been at was an amateur show in Abergele that went on for about three days.....

I try and stay for the whole card....

If you don't stay past midnight to see three light-punching young prospects v three losing journeymen all complete 60-54s, you're gay.

Simple as that.

What if the show finished at 22.00. Do I have to stay by default?
