Do you welcome the idea of studio fights?

[rickJen]

Let's stop kidding ourselves.
Fans should clamor for this instead of fooling themselves
that things would be back to normal in a few months. It won't.
Promoters should start preparing for the infrastructure to do studio fights.
You think this is crazy?
Well, in some parts of Europe, they're preparing for soccer matches without
involving audience in the arena.
Even then the number of players and crews involved is even bigger.

The investment should come back in the form of online subscription, PPV buys, etc.

I think it would be the norm cause it won’t go back to normal for quite some time
It still a little selfish if something happens to a player or fighter
They’re still gonna need medical help

Studio fights vs no fights is a no-brainer. I really hope by July, going into the second half of the year that we see a crush of great fights to make July-December an exciting time for boxing fans. Love to see loaded cards, all the networks that broadcast boxing full blown.

Without studio cards or fights held perhaps on a cruise ship with full screening, meaning the only way fights to be held are in arenas, we may be waiting for many months, maybe even September. Promoters need to pick small cities or towns with low Covid cases and stage the fights there and then maybe in 3 months we can see live boxing again.

Considering a bunch of super fit athletes are at the lowest risk of anyone to get sick right now, yes obviously it's okay to do. Better than nothing.

I think Hearn/DAZN would be the first to do this as they don't rely heavily on gate sales.
I imagine a skyrocketing of subscriptions as most people are in isolation inside their homes.

No they're not, they'd have no symptoms. These are the fittest of the fit, unless they're immunocompromised somehow which I doubt is the case for most of them, they're gonna be perfectly fine.

What I’m saying is if a fighter falls into a coma after the fight or wtv
They still gotta bring him to a hospital

[DaNeutral.]

It will be wierd but it is wierd times. I'd prefer my Boxing to come with a noisy crowd but then I'm looking forward to hearing more of sounds from inside the ring.

Also it's quite clear judging can be swayed by a noisy home crowd. It happens everywhere. I think it happens much more than a dodgy little brown envelope kind of scoring. So without home cheering I wonder if we see less frequent crazy cards.

[maguirre]

I'm hungry for fights. Don't care where they are held.

Can't imagine sticking myself inside a large group of people right now or anytime soon. It's like playing a russian roulette.

Yeah and? Hospitals are mostly empty.
