    When is the right time to come to a fight live?

    Would you be comfortable enough to buy a ticket, join a large crowd
    and watch boxing live in December? If not when?

    Probably not until they have a vaccine will it be safe for large crowd gatherings indoors.

      I wouldn't buy a ticket now for December because of the unknown even if they said now that December will have crowds.. come December I'd most likely feel differently..

      I suppose your doing things in stages as it is, so the mentality at the minute is living in the stage your at and not thinking too far ahead...

      You miss live fights, even the church hall amateurs and can't wait to go, but even if they said it's open I don't think I'd just straight to it until I felt comfortable....

        I'd argue it's not about a specific date. It'd be after you've already gotten over covid19, assuming you can't get it twice like I've heard, or when there is a vaccine.

        2nd best time is when there is less speculative treatment going on for covid19 & more go to effective medicines, etc to fight it & avoid negative outcomes.

          A fight between two champs in their primes, or a solid clash of prospects with a decent undercard - I think fans will buy tickets. The reality is, those events are way too few and far between. If Spence and Crawford fought in September, they’d sell out the Grand Garden.

            Well I usually go to fights at Barclays Center in Brooklyn.


            Its new and very nice. I've seen Cotto, Porter, Trout, Lara, Devon


            My usual game plan was put vodka in some Gatorade we take the train around 6pm get there around 7.




            I love going to live fights, but beer is like 14$ so pregame

              With a highly contagious sickness that you get from close contact with other people than can kill you, hell no I would not. When they have a proven shot that keeps you from getting sick and I have had that shot then I would go. Nobody knows when they will have such a shot. It could be a year or it could be MUCH longer than a year. It damn sure will not be by September. It takes a hell of a lot longer than that to get such a shot and two years is the fastest it has ever been done up until now. They are working on it as fast as possible but nobody knows how fast that will; be. After they get a shot they have to make enough doses for many millions of people and that is also something that takes time.
