Americans desperation for live entertainment during the pandemic will end up being a great thing for boxing
Good for the fighters pockets and the casual fans, bad for the hardcores. Not shocked at all seeing fighters inactivity due to the pandemic as an excuse to drag things out with tune ups and avoid bigger threats. I heard Fury wanted a tune up before the wilder rematch even though there's a rematch clause, he has the winner of povetkin and Whyte ad a mandatory, and Joshua wants to fight him. There are too many good fights available for that nonsense. Canelo is a big culprit too with the recent shenanigans.
You'd think with numbers like that for THOSE fights an intelligent promoter could line up some great fights for the hard core fans.
