    Corona virus and upcoming fights

    I see a lot of fights are getting lined up for the summer and my question is, is it wise to hold fights with this virus that is going around do they expect people to travel to these fights or put the fighters at risk at getting it while traveling?

    I have not seen any boxing outfits even acknowledged it exist.I want to go see pac vs Spence ,Lopez vs chenko, wilder vs fury 3 but if it means I’m putting my health at risk then no way am I putting up a penny and I think a lot of fans would feel that way too.

    Yes you can just sit at home and watch it but what about the people that want to go to the fight or the fighters/companies involved that can get put at risk?

    The attendance might be lower for some fights depending on whether or not the location of the event is a "hot spot." It's up to the organizers to find a venue that's not in a high-risk area.

    The fighters themselves don't have much to worry about. Athletes who are in good physical health have strong immune systems. Bob Arum and Don King are at greater risk than the athletes.

        You're more likely dying while travelling to a fight than catching Coronavirus at the moment.

            Do they shut down schools for the flu?
            Do they quarantine entire cruise ships for the Flu?
            Do they walk around in full on hazmat gear for the flu?

            People trust what you hear on the news lol You better have common sense enough to know that a full on pandemic is about to go down. And more people will die as times go buy. lol and its Flu season.

              The death toll is 11 in the US so far. 100 people die in car accidents each day.

                You remember those black n white videos that suggested hiding under desks when an atom bomb goes off? Your country is willing to lie to you because if people stop working then the country collapses. Don’t put all your trust in anyone saying this is nothing. Take the necessary precautions.
