Promoter Bob Arum is searching for the ideal locations to stage fights for his stars.
That includes Vasiliy Lomachenko and Teofimo Lopez, both of whom hold lightweight titles. One possible site floated by Arum: Allegiant Stadium, the new NFL venue in Las Vegas.
Arum suggested the crowd could be limited at the 65,000-capacity facility to allow for social distancing amid the coronavirus pandemic.
Does staging that fight in a sparsely attended stadium make sense? In this episode of The Ak & Barak Show, courtesy of DAZN, hosts Akin Reyes and Barak Bess give their thoughts on that topic.
Here’s what they had to say.
The Ak & Barak Show is available on DAZN and Sirius XM Fight Nation, Channel 156.
