Imagine paying thousands of dollars to see this and you watch this crappy, sad fight and you leave the arena and you're not on the Vegas strip, you're not in midtown Manhattan, you're not even on the boardwalk in Atlantic City. You're in Arlington, Texas. - ThreadSky

You're in Arlington, Texas.

At least two of the under cards were really good

And you’ll be sitting in your car for the next hour or two.

I would take Arlington Tx over AC any day, but that’s just one man’s opinion…

sometimes pithy isn't better

Well, the Taylor v. Serrano undercard was totally worth the money. Also, there’s zero reason to ever go to Texas for anything. A dull exhibition of pugilism would be an improvement.

Nothing left in Atlantic City. That’s worse than a sleepy DFW suburb.

The only bright lights you walk out of the stadium to are those of the Wal Mart across the street.

Boardwalk in Atlantic City might be worse than Arlington tbh.

normcorerockwell.bsky.social•218 days ago

It might be a hellscape, but it’s a walkable hellscape!

The only sadder place I’ve ever been was a casino in the Poconos.

hopstache.bsky.social•218 days ago

I’d prefer to not imagine that, as that is some depressing shit

jiggly333.bsky.social•218 days ago

If you got there early enough, you saw a REAL fight, tho. That Taylor/Serrano bout was amazing and more worth the price of that ticket.

diamondm1990.bsky.social•218 days ago

I did not know where it was. Is the Arlington Hooters even open this late? I think you can get taquitos at the Whataburger drive thru now.

ericsylvester.bsky.social•218 days ago

Yeah, a Vegas fight just hits different.

They knew what what they were getting from a 58 year old Mike Tyson.

And they got to see a gnarly eyelid!

stevencalcutt.bsky.social•218 days ago

nice walmart across the street so at least there's that

Lmao there’s a Wal-Mart across the street.

Ain't nothing out there but parking lots

bludysky.bsky.social•218 days ago

This is truly the worst timeline.

They can relish in the fact they are just a short distance from where North Texas SC went undefeated in MLS Next Pro. You just can't get that kind of sporting history elsewhere.

I watched two hours of staged combat sports and yelling tonight. It was included on basic cable, ok the USA network, and called WWE Friday night smackdown. I feel like I was more entertained than anyone who watched Paul Tyson
