Showing UFC at local theater

[nycdude]

I walked by an AMC Theater today and saw a poster for an upcoming UFC fight that they were going to be showing on the big screen. Is this happening anywhere else? Sounds fuckin awesome.

Yeah, it's a new thing they're doing. If I wasn't going to be at the Prudential Center live next Saturday night, I'd def check out the theater thing... beats watching it on my crappy tv and paying $45 for pay-per-view. Does anyone know how much they're charging for it, by chance? If it's like going to the movies (which I can't imagine it would be more than that!), that's pretty sweet!

I haven't seen it anywhere yet but it sounds like a good idea. I usually go to a bar and watch it but by the main event I'm half drunk and not really paying attention.

LOL! I hear ya. I always have UFC parties at my house. The next day I have to go online to get the results because I can't remember shit from the night before!

Most of the casinos have the fights on huge screens. $10-$20 to get in depending where you go.

Some of them throw in a couple drinks with the price of admission.

I prefer waching it from the comfort of my house and 60" screen.. bring friends around. food, drinks.. controlled environment.. no douchebags allowed!

Me too, but sometimes the card isn't worth me spending $45 and I don't feel like going to the bar where it's loud and hard to get a seat... so I like the movie theater idea. I want to check it out for UFC 112!

From what I have heard it will be around $25 per person. So, if you and a friend want to see it...you just paid more than what the actual PPV is. Now factor in cost of food at a theatre....boom...you might as well rent a Tv for the night and buy the PPV

Damn, guess that idea is out then! I can't see this being successful if that's the case. $10 or whatever the going rate is for a movie ticket seems sufficient. I think it would attract a wider audience too... but $25?? Might as well stick with PPV or a local bar...
