Comments Thread For: Adam Smith of Sky Fears For The Future of Stadium Fights

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Boxing will return from the coronavirus pandemic in good shape, believes Adam Smith, head of boxing development at Sky Sports, although he fears it may be some time before we see packed stadium fights again. Smith, who is also Sky's lead commentator, has already spoken to Eddie Hearn, Sky's exclusive promoter, about staging fights behind closed doors as well as taking the fights overseas if other countries get through the pandemic quicker than the UK.

Stop charging PPV for every half decent fight, you big Gaylord.

There will always be legions of chavs on the p!ssup, looking to spend their dole dosh, looking for a excuse to be drunken hooligans at a sports event

Didn't read the article but I do think what he said applies to other sports as well. Like in the NFL or NBA, I do think there will be fans that would usually attend games just stay at home and watch on TV not wanting to risk getting infected. Flat out, until there is a vaccine for the virus, this will be the thinking of many. Not until sometime in 2021 will there be true normalcy.

Calm down Adam this **** is turning out to be less of a threat every day that passes. The numbers are inflated, the victims are generally ripe for the picking by any other disease that comes along. This was made out to be a lot worse than it actually is. We'll remember this event more for the economic impact because we did such a ****** thing in shutting everything down instead of focusing on helping those who are most at risk like rational people would.

Whatever you do, don't get a vaccine if it's too early (rushed vaccines have a history of being botched and having nasty side effects, Bill Gates is a perpetrator of that, uses impoverished third world people as his testing ground for new vaccines the evil prick) and you never know, you might've gotten the virus unbeknownst to you (as the large majority of people experience very mild to moderate symptoms) and now have immunity. It's been found that many people who didn't know they had it had antibodies and antigens for covid in their blood. I know I had it anyway so I'm good to go wherever.

Oh definitely. Now let me ask you, they always say it takes 12-18 months to come up with a vaccine. I know they are doing the pre-trials (right term?) right now, but at what point does one get confident enough to take the vaccine shot? And the antibodies is definitely going to help and hopefully they are accessible to anyone that needs it.

When you say immunity, what if it is a seasonal virus? If you had it and are immune to it right now, what about this time next year? Would you need to take constant vaccine shots like most do during or before flue season? How does that work?

Well the last SARS coronavirus outbreak was 15 years ago so I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say that this doesn't mutate rapidly enough to become a season virus like the flu, which is notorious for mutating so quickly that it is a seasonal infection. Nothing mutates like the flu does.

Fair, but hasn't it been proven that COVID19 is more transmissible than the SARS virus? Like this thing can still be going in different parts of the world by say September or October? Just off that this can potentially still be going on by late 2020 or even early 2021? Obviously not to the extent it is spreading now, but the virus won't die off as easily as SARS. Am I off in my thinking here?

This FÛÇKING Corona Virus is playing us all. This is a FÛÇKING mess.

This is going to be a mess when all sports events get the go. The part that concern me the most is the safety and health at the most important. The second part that concern me is the economic problems this Pandemic is still causing. Whatever one look this, we are fuck anyway in a sense.
