If UFC 249 goes ahead successfully do you expect boxing back soon?

[RJJ-94-02=GOAT]

Surely promoters could follow the same protocol...

What is the protocol for UFC 249? If a large crowd gathers together closer than 6 feet from each other to watch it I think some will get the virus and a few might die from it and that will be the end of it for quite a while. As of now they have no shot that gives immunity and no cure that keeps people from getting very sick or dead. Until they have these things which could take a year or two large crowds of people close together is not safe. Everybody wants sports to come back just the way it was but everybody doesn't always get what they want. A fight with no live fans would be safe as would a fight with fans sitting 6 feet or more apart but can they make much money that way? If they can't make good money they won't do it.

Let's hope so.



I'm Watching ESPN now.


UFC will continue tonight.

[Szef]

Not a MMA fan but I'm looking forward to watching UFC tonight

Been too long since we've had big pro sport event unless you count Belarusian football league games as big

Hopefully boxing follows the suit

Man people die of all manners of diseases in much larger numbers we can't be so stringent not to risk a single infection breaking out or we'd be all ****ed anyway. Remember you have to make it so the cure isn't worse than the disease. We've made the cure worse already, we need to roll it back by now.

Boxing was back already, in Nicaragua. ****ty card tho haha

WWE, AEW, and Impact Wrestling have all run multiple shows during the pandemic. WWE is lived one week, taped the next while AEW and Impact have done a few tapings of a lot of episodes at once.

Obviously wrestling isn't real fighting but when it comes to pandemic safety I don't see much of a difference. If the wrestling companies can get away with it I don't see why MMA or boxing should be any different.

Top ten 8-bit games?

Boxers are lazy asses compared to MMA fighters who stay in shape year round.
