    Comments Thread For: Middle Class Promoters Trying To Survive During Coronavirus Pandemic

          The economic impact of the China virus might end up being worse than the medical impact.

            Everyone in this pandemic is losing money in boxing including the promoters themselves. Hopefully, the fighters have saved up enough of their money in order to survive during this crisis because if they can't fight then they can't eat.

            However, my one only worry and concern is for the unknown blue collar fighter who is popular among boxing fans but just haven't quite crossed over or have a mainstream following among the casual fan.

            I don't know how they are surviving this pandemic under these current stay at home orders.

              Tighten purse strings like everyone else and ride it through. Unfortunately some may fall by the wayside...

              Everyone is losing money in all walks of life..

              Hopefully the ones who are reaching for the ladder haven't thought they've already made it and debted themselves up to eyeballs on a promise...

              This will certainly filter the sensible ones out..
