    So who else don't want to take paycut during these pandemic times...

    ...and without spectators in the stadium?

    Crawford, Khan, who else?

    nobody wants to take a paycut but in reality if the fights are to be made all of them need to take a paycut or else wait it out

      Either they take paycuts or take long layoffs.
      This pandemic will not be over anytime soon doe.

        People need to stop talking about these big fights
        as if this pandemic will be over soon.

        Spence vs Garcia, for example, which would only take place
        in the DSA (Divided States of America)

        Would you buy a ticket to see this fight live?
        In August, September, October, November, December?

          We all know they are all itching to come back in the ring.
          But investors are not crazy enough to spend their $$$ without profit.
          So we'll soon see who among them are willing to take paycuts.

                Most of these fighters are itching to get in the ring.

                  It actually costs a fair whack of money to have a team and a training camp for a top level fighter. Not forgetting you have to jump through hoops to get clear to fight in this current situation and get sparring partners etc.

                  So it’s totally understandable why a fighter who has a comfortable bank balance isnt going to go through all that, just to fight and make a fraction of what they usually do. Especially putting titles on the line on the circumstances that are probably not ideal situations.

                  I suppose the longer it goes on they would have to consider it, because it may be more detrimental to stay inactive. but right now it’s understandable.

                  For lesser fighters that need the money, then obviously fighting for a fraction of the usual purse is still necessary for them.
