Studio Boxing? A short term solution

[ykdadamaja]

Is this better than no boxing at all? With large public gatherings being banned all over Arum is going for it and Matchroom have not ruled it out.

It could help the sport tick over and give the forum fight night thread opportunities on weekends on which without them there would be none.

Part of the allure of stadium sports, well all sports, is the interaction with the fans and the roar of the crowd. Other than that it is just like watching someone work out in the gym.

This is so weird to me. You couldn’t pay me to go to a stadium fight because I want to see the fight. But if the crowd is what you’re into rather than the sport, have at it.

There's definitely an ambiance and background to live interactions in sport. From complete silence to unhinged reaction when a huge play happens. You still have the suddenness with an empty arena but a live passionate crowd losing their minds just as you are reacting adds a little something. It's like doing a rbr alone otherwise . Have to imagine it would be really odd for fighters too whos whole thing untill then was attracting fan followings and playing to them for better or for worse.

Rick Glaser is saying that, when boxing comes back, that it will be in a TV only, no live audience. The expectation is that the fighters will make less, due to there being no money from the live gate, the TV numbers will be through the roof, so the increase in recognition will pay off down the road.

The increase in TV viewers should also mean the boxers get compensated more?

Probably not at first but down the road.

I think the boxers are getting screwed if they get less pay. TV companies will be making a lot of money from advertisers with the increase in audience and demand for live events. I think the promoters are pocketing the money.
