How much would you enjoy watching Anthony Joshua fighting Tyson Fury with no spectators?

Not at all

watching Joshua get booed out of the ring after his beating will be brilliant

 

@mark ant , you need a break from internetting. This thread is worse than COVID.

 

I want to see fights first and foremost. Crowd and atmosphere in general is of secondary importance. In short I'd rather see the fight happen with no crowd than not at all.

 

It could be funny since you'd probably hear Fury's trash talking.

 

We'd be able to hear Fury's smack talk.

& knowing Fury he'd do it on purpose knowing the mics can hear him, the ref would warn him though and he'd stop.


"Stop trying to hit me you big stiff idiot or i'll slap you"

 

Yeah, some fighters supposedly feed off the crowd. I think a lack of an audience would contribute to a slow start for both fighters, but eventually would heat up and be like any other fight. I think it would be a bit anti climactic for the winner of the biggest heavyweight fight in years to have no fans cheering when they are crowned champion. It would make it seem like less of an event to me. I'd rather see it in a stadium with 90+k fans going nuts. There was a concert on Fortnite that had 27m viewers. They should do that. The stadium would be filled with a bunch of wacky avatars going nuts, everybody could have a ringside seat....that would be fun.

 

A great fight is a great fight. Audience is irrelevant. Let me guess, you remember the audience during say Tyson vs Spinks. You remember that guy in the fourth row who did the thing? No? Of course not. What about Ali vs Liston? Remember the lady with the dress who... Once again of course you don’t. Have to agree with @Pakkuman

 

I actually think not having many spectators is going to hurt Fury - against Wilder and, if he gets past Deontay, Joshua.

Fury feeds off the crowd. There won't be any thrown-sitting, royal crown-wearing, or 40-pound GOT costumes or panic attacks by Joshua because he's feeling pressure from the crowd.

These ring entrances with no crowds last seconds. They just cut to the chase.

All these guys are just going to get in the ring, everyone's going to hear each others' corners between rounds, there's going to be more smack talk. The judges will hear everything.

I look forward to it. They're just going to fight and see who is best

 

Mark, were there spectators when the Somalian guy broke your jaw?

Would you have enjoyed it more?

 

Who is Fury going to 'sing' to post fight with no spectators?
These important issues have to be addressed.

 

It would be a bit less enjoyable without the audience, but it's not a huge deal.

How much is an audience worth to me? I would perhaps agree to have the fight delayed ~1 month if it meant allowing spectators -- probably no longer.
