    This whole thing is horse**** and people are finally starting to realize it -- and rapidly.

    Politicians will say and do anything for votes. Everything before this was pandering: "Anything for your health! Who cares if we destroy the economy such that it won't recover for decades! You'll only blame Trump for that!"

    That was all fine and well until lefty voters started to realized the economic ramifications actually matter and the virus is only killing geriatrics who would've died within the year anyway.

    I live in one of the most lefty areas in the US and all my coworkers are starting to flip-flop from "We can't possibly go to work!" to "I hope this lockdown isn't extended again..."

    We'll get back to normal. Probably particularly after the November general election.

    For only so long can people ignore that some states -- and even entire countries -- are blowing this virus off to no apocalyptic effect.

    Excellent point. So true! And I think it goes beyond that, even with younger boxers, established or otherwise. Big boxing fights really need those live gate numbers, and it's anyone's guess how long it will be before stadiums/arenas start filling to capacity.

    Eventually things should return to prior form, one would think. But when? Late this year? Next year? Five years? And how many years in something as unpredictable as a boxing career can one of these guys afford to gamble on? There are a lot of new considerations, where the norm for carving a career path has changed.

    I love the United States and I always wish him the best. I even have high hopes for Trump. I think that economically the country was having a good time before the pandemic. The only thing I hope is that it will reactivate the United States economy and make it grow more. never

    I think Trump is a better president in finance than Obama. This last ex-president made the United States **** with his stupid social policies. He won the elections because minorities put him where he is. People liked the idea of having an African-American president, but now look at the result in his government all those organizations in the united states were filled with communists like the who for example
