Juan Manuel Marquez vs Juan Diaz rematch to be shown in movie theaters

Fight fans will be able to see the Juan Manuel Marquez-Juan Diaz lightweight title rematch, and the accompanying undercard, live on July 31 in nearly 300 movie theaters around the country thanks to the continuing relationship between promoter Golden Boy and NCM Fathom. This will be the fourth fight Golden Boy and NCM Fathom have brought to the big screen, following on the heels of Floyd Mayweather's bouts with Juan Manuel Marquez and Shane Mosley and the Bernard Hopkins-Roy Jones rematch. "Seeing a battle like this on the big screen is an incredible front-row experience for fans who love to experience the thrill of boxing matches in their local movie theater," said NCM Fathom vice president Dan Diamond. "This rematch between two great champions on 40-foot screens and in HD is as close to being ring-side as you can get."

I haven't checked but I'd venture to guess none of the theaters is going to be near Richmond, Virginia.

not yet, I think it would be alot of fun.

It's a great card on paper, if your local theater is showing it you should try and catch it.

Damn it 100 miles away from where I live at the least. Not doable.

Really sucks. It is a card definitely worth 15 bucks to see.
