The guys at the top can ride this out.

They could even fight PPV in an empty room if they really wanted to, like theyre doing in the UFC.


All the guys though making like a few hundred bucks to 20k a fight, those guys are all suffering. I could see them giving up on boxing.

Even guys doing slightly better, lets say a prospect who was just at the point where he was ready to quit his day job to focus on boxing full time.... that guy is probably ***ed.

Say you got 50k a fight, well you give up half that or more to promoters, trainers and taxes. No fights for the next few months. Gyms closed and no sparring going on.

There will be a long term impact to the sport for an entire generation as everyone from sparring partners to club level journeymen have to leave the sport to pay the bills.

You might be pretty much correct.

But I think that the determined ones who love nothing else more than boxing will certainly come back after a period of some temporary jobs.

I’m betting on a doomsday cult leader since his cult of personality like persona attracts so many incels

Hearn would go back to his day job selling cars, AJ selling marijuana, Whyte sells carribean meals from his flat, BJS mugging people’s trolleys...

[texasboi15]

Broner, Charlos, Tank, Errol, Bud and a few more can sell dope

Ryan, Keith, Kell and AJ can go strip

Porter his daddy Buddy Mcgirt ****m and Wilder can all go preach

Pacquiao president

Slick Eddie is correct on this one. Hopefully this virus burns itself out soon. Attending boxing matches is one of my passions. Such is life! Stay healthy everyone!
