He wants the money at least be honest.

Of course, people don’t understand how much money is lost when the crowds are not there. They need all the live gates that they can get.

He hasn't the connections. Floyd gets paid in Japan, Tyson comes out of the old folks home, Shakur got paid. The crowds? Those are gone for months, or years, but there's no money at all on the shelf. He's supposed to sell this thing, start selling.

If your waiting for a vaccine to sort all this out, you'll be waiting for a long time. Our best hope is a the****utic near cure. Otherwise boxings done for this year.

Frank Warren spoke

Fair enough in the sense that Frank Warren is honest and that this fight is good in full crowds, but he have to think what the fans want now. I hope Frank Warren think outside the box on this one.

he wants good retirement send-off money for Joyce

Another 'high risk' fight for both of them in the meanwhile then is it Frank? Give me a break.

I understand what Warren is saying but this fight needs to happen in October - crowd or no crowd. If it has to be PPV then so be it. Under ‘normal’ circumstances it is in no way a PPV fight but Warren obviously wants to make as much money out of this fight as he can, and you can’t blame him to be fair.

[Tbone27]

It would be idiotic to further postpone this fight because it could be another year before you can have 20,000+ people in an arena and there's no guarantee both guys will still be undefeated and healthy at that time
