OUCH!!! Serious ticket prices! I never realized how lucky I was!!! My
friend's father passed away in 95, and I haven't been to a pro fight since.
I do go to amateur fights at a local gym a few times a year to see my
girlfriend's nephew fight.
I live near Sacramento, CA and there is quite a boxing community here. Local
world-class fighters included Bobby Chacon in the 70s, Pete Ranzany 70s-80s,
Mario & Tony Lopez 80s-90s, & currently Diego Corrales. (and look out for an
up & coming Michael Simms...) I was lucky enough to meet all of those except
Corrales.
The most notable fight I got to see was Bobby Chacon -vs- Cornelious
Boza-Edwards, a highlight film classic that a behind-on-points Chacon won by
KO with 20 secs left in the 15th. That one was also the inspiration for the
atmosphere and the camera angle of my image, because that's how I remember
it from the ringside announcer's seat.

Check your local Police Athletic league for amateur exhibitions. Sometimes
the amateurs are even more exciting than the pros.
