Okay, so, I’m a huge boxing fan, right? And there was this big fight coming up, and I was like, where am I gonna watch this? I mean, I could’ve just streamed it at home, but that’s no fun. I wanted the whole experience, you know? The crowd, the atmosphere, the energy. So I started thinking about sports bars.
The first place that came to mind was Buffalo Wild Wings. I mean, it’s like, the go-to spot for sports, right? They’ve got tons of TVs, wings, beer… it seemed perfect. But then I remembered this one time I went there for a UFC fight, and they weren’t showing it. So, I got a little worried and decided to do some digging.
First, I called up my local BWW. The guy who answered sounded kinda unsure, and he was like, “Uh, I don’t think we show boxing.” Not exactly a confidence booster. So I hung up and went online.
I started Googling, you know, “does Buffalo Wild Wings show boxing fights?” and stuff like that. I found some forum posts, and it was a real mixed bag. Some people were saying their BWW always showed the big fights, others said theirs never did. Some folks even said it depends on who’s fighting, that they only show the huge pay-per-view events. It was a mess! It seemed like it totally depends on the individual location and what they decide to pay for.
Then I stumbled upon this article about how Buffalo Wild Wings didn’t show some big fight a while back, like Mayweather-Pacquiao or something. And I was like, oh man, this isn’t looking good. But then, I found another article saying they did show a different big fight, a Conor McGregor one, I think. So, basically, it was all over the place.
Here’s what I did next:
- Checked the Buffalo Wild Wings website. I looked for some kind of event schedule or something, but I couldn’t find anything specific about boxing.
- Looked at their social media. I scrolled through their Twitter and Facebook, hoping they’d post something about the fight, but no luck.
- Called a few other Buffalo Wild Wings locations nearby. I figured maybe it was just my local one that was weird. But I got pretty much the same answer everywhere: “I don’t know, maybe, you’ll have to come in and see.”
So What Did I Do In The End?
Honestly, after all that, I just gave up on Buffalo Wild Wings. It was too much of a gamble. I didn’t want to get all hyped up, get there, and then find out they weren’t showing the fight. I ended up going to this local sports bar that I know always shows the big fights. It wasn’t as fancy as BWW, but at least I was guaranteed to see the fight. Plus, their wings were pretty good, too!
So, yeah, that’s my story. If you’re wondering if your local Buffalo Wild Wings will show a boxing match, I’d say it’s a real coin toss. My advice? Call ahead, but don’t get your hopes up too much. And maybe have a backup plan, just in case.
