    Now that crowds are banned at sporting events in Wales will this fight still take place?

    Hopefully they’d move it to England if they could find a suitable venue. I think this fight deserves a crowd.

    I hope it’s moved to England however any promoter worth their salt will have contingency plans in place in case the same happens in England.

    If neither boxer will take lower pay if it’s behind closed doors, then we get a repeat of 2020 and 2021. With boxers parked up twiddling their thumbs not fighting as they price themselves out of meaningful fights.

    They end up fighting a tomato can for peanuts because they have been so inactive. This stuff should all be explained to both guys to make sure the fight happens.

    It seems hard to believe that England won’t follow Wales and Scotland. No way they can afford to stage the fight with no fans, so we could be looking at another one that got away.

    ****, hadn't thought about that......really hope not, I'd hate for this to be pushed back a 2nd time...talk about **** timing.

    I also think there's no chance it happens without fans so hopefully it can be moved to London somewhere and sold out.

    I wouldn't blame promoters if they start moving all shows to Dubai/Saudi. The time difference isn't too bad as well so they can still get tv views here.

    I want this fight in Wales and I'd rather wait for it than have it the O2 or somewhere, holding it in Wales is a huge selling point for the fight.
