When mixing for live sound generally people mixing in mono. Smaller gigs will require mono and big acts also, however some effects at big concerts will be in stereo. If you were to mix in stereo for live sound one side of an audience could completely miss out of sounds panned to the left or right which would ruin their experience.
Mixing in mono also exposes clashing frequencies that you wouldn't hear on stereo. Its easier to spot mistakes as you don't have both sides distracting you, so when you mix on mono and the sound is good then it would sound good in stereo also whereas, if you tried it the other way round it wouldn't work.
