The boxing card that was scheduled to take place on Saturday in the Dominican Republic was abruptly canceled at the last minute by government health authorities on Thursday according to Shuan Boxing Promotion. Two WBA regional titles were going to be at stake. The WBA supports the decision of the Dominican authorities, who know the situation first-hand, and hopes that the event can take place in the future under the ideal conditions complying with all health measures.
Before the cancellation, all the necessary measures had been fulfilled, supported by the safety protocol published by the WBA a few weeks ago. The fighters had already undergone rapid tests for Covid-19 with negative results and the venue of the event had been sanitized.
Anyone think that a Canelo or other big name fighter will agree to fight in an empty arena?
Never. The promotor would never pay them money worth fighting for in an empty arena. They are better off taking the time off training and keeping their bodies fresh until the morons stop being in charge and life finally goes back to normal
A fight like that might set PPV records for number of PPV buys.
you are probably right but I wonder with technology today, and you have it on TV, they could make it look like these guys are fighting in a stadium or arena packed to capacity.
Wow, it collapsed just like some of the tourists who went to that country
