Lmao this will be the same as those UFC cards without a crowd during the Covid era

In other words...19,000 FAKE boxing fans attended the first fight and aren't interested in watching the rematch

A card this stacked fighting front of 6 thousand is damn sad

It's simply a by-product of a repressive culture and political system.
But vast amounts of oil money solves everything for the boxing fans, right?

Dare I say boxing fans are not always the most "enlightened" part of sports fans, and of society in general? And it does NOT get better when addressing political issues!... ( I particularly like the argument " Well .. boxing world has always been shady, so who cares? At least we're getting the fights we want!")

This is like when WWE moved Wrestlemania from a stadium to an arena saying it was due to security concerns but it was really due to low ticket sales.

Good thing this didn’t happen to a PBC card, the yahoo comments incels would be all over the joint claiming the fall of all Haymon and the Christian end times tribulations are upon us or some such….

I don't mind the Arena size from the comfort of my home.. Still the same 55" size for me ....

Also... The streaming numbers is King nowadays ....

They want to improve the atmosphere, use a smaller ring. Foget Eddy and his 24 foot soccer feild marathons. That is for snoozing.
