    They can start by scheduling fights in states that are low-risk and haven't seen any cases of Corona yet, or at least very few. Maybe other countries where it isn't as prevalent...Canada, Mexico, etc.

      I don’t think this is doable because the states that haven’t recorded any cases are the ones where little to no testing is going on, like Alabama and West ******ia , because of a lack of resources and incompetent government.

          I can see events going to Saudi Arabia. They have issues there but they can afford to stage a big fight in front of a small number of fans. UK fights depend on ticket sales so empty venues mean a big paycut, fighters likely pass on that as do promoters. With AJ, they have the PPV money, they care about DAZN, they want Pulev fight out of the way, maybe they can do that in an empty venue and it still works but moving it to SA and not allowing any fans from Europe to travel wouldn't surprise me

NCAA March Madness for example has only 1 option cancel and if they do you can't reschedule, those kids are graduating or going to the NBA. You cancel you lost millions if not billions in revenue and that money is never coming back.

                Boxing can still go on, but they'll have to move training camps to secluded locations with extra testing. The fight itself will need to be with no or a small audience as well.

                I don't see any big fights happening, but we could get stay busy fights that don't require a large gate to fund the event.

                    If there's a major economic recession I would expect there to be major budget cuts at Fox and ESPN which will negatively affect boxing because the networks see it as expendable compared to the NBA, NFL, etc.
