Comments Thread For: Thurman: Boxing Without The People Takes Away A Certain Dynamic

I believe PBC fighters were receiving part of the gate on the so called "back end." They are self promoted without long term contract so I'm sure things are tough. On the other hand the PBC is tied to Fox and Fox to the president. Considering that both are demanding things go back to normal I would not be surprised if the PBC and Fox are the first to go back to large venues and big crowds but we'll see.

Thurman is right. People will still watch of course, maybe even higher ratings, but the crowd element will take away some excitement. They'll have to really dress up the production, let's see what UFC does.

Thurman talking boxing without actually boxing takes away credibility

Hopefully you never talk boxing

I agree...it's not even as interesting or dramatic watching on TV without the crowds.

Yeah lol. Even on TV it will be strange. Man this virus is a pain on the @ss on so many levels.

You can still fight without the audience, you have these boxers at the gyms fucking each other worse than at the actual fights.

That's super interesting. Its true he never acknowledges the crowd at all.
