Video: Canelo willing to fight without crowd. Will others follow suit?

Canelo Alvarez is willing to fight in an empty arena in his next fight, according to reports. Will other elite fighters follow his lead?

Canelo Alvarez is willing to fight in an empty arena in his next fight because of the coronavirus pandemic, according to reports.

Will other elite fighters follow his lead?

One might argue that because Alvarez is guaranteed a set payday as per his contract with DAZN, he’s in a good position to fight without spectators. However, without money generated by a live gate, other fighters might have no choice but to accept smaller purses.

In this episode of The Ak & Barak Show, courtesy of DAZN, hosts Akin Reyes and Barak Bess discuss that topic.

Here’s what they had to say.

The Ak & Barak Show is available on DAZN and Sirius XM Fight Nation, Channel 156.
