Kids aren't allowed at boxing

Which, even if it were true, has exactly what to do with the price of fish?

As a kid who was dragged to various golf tournaments I so wish that had been the case with golf.

Ditto re angling.

This is turning into a therapy session. Anyone forced into any other minority/shit sports? Bad clothing? Embarrassing car?

Angling is a good sit down spoiled.

I was dragged to Cradley speedway when I was a nipper, but I quite liked it.

Just to put into perspective , to go the The Open Golf Final day at St andrews 2015 is £75 adult, free for kids

They have to spend the day watching golf so they still lose out, golf wankers.

And to put it into another perspective the cheapest tickets for Mayweather v Pacquiao is $1,500.

The equivalent of boxings world cup so not really comparable

I don't find watching the high rollers gamble entertaining at all, if anything it's quite disturbing and sad. Roll of a dice - win £7.3m , celebrate to the galleries like its a lottery win, next roll lose £9m ignore everyone. Repeat.

It's as comparable as golf.

The FA Cup final this year is way bigger than the Word Cup final.

I can't help it but I always chuckle when the big fights end after a couple of minutes and think of the folks who spent thousands to watch it.

Rarely over that quick

They aren't  at professional registered cards.

Yeah, but look at the quantity of free tickets they hand out. It's an inspiration to any sporting institution......

You try getting a freebie for this fight unless you spend millions in a casino.

I know. I was being somewhat tongue in cheek.....!
