wow if only there were some way to significantly, exponentially minimize the risk of contracting and spreading Covid. If only there was some manner of simple action somebody could take to protect their health and the million dollar paydays for themselves, their teams, their opponents, and their promotor. Man, jeez hopefully someone will think of something that people could do.

Dear everyone, when it comes to contagious viruses please listen to the doctors, scientists + professionals within the medicine + ignore the crap spouted by the ignorant + the crazy or those trying to politicise or make money out of a medical issue. Infectious diseases like Typhoid, TB, Cholera, Diphtheria, Measles, Influenza + Malaria no longer kill millions of people each year because of Vaccines created by the same science that created the Covid-19 Vaccine. Please, please, please get vaccinated to protect yourself, to protect others + so that life can sooner return to normal.

When are Boxing Promoters going to demand that Boxers get vaxxed? Before starting the promotion of any particular fight. Choices have consequences.

Promoters are one thing. But shouldn't state commissions be doing it too? Now I get it - America being what it is, this will encourage a race to the bottom and all fights moving the Florida or something ... but absolutely Nevada should be requiring vaccinations to get a fight sanctioned.

Obviously you follow the news Sriram. Local governance when it comes to COVID is a mess. The Promoter is the one guaranteeing the money and a fight card for their broadcast partners. They need to mitigate any potential issues, as best they can.

Enjoyed the IFL interview - refreshing to hear the transparency regarding Dazn US activity. There are some better quality [though not as far-reaching] UK boxing channels that would be good to see Dan on. Boxing Social and Boxing UK are a couple of examples.

The best boxing podcast out there [Costello & Bunce] is working with guests [now that Costello has moved on in the main] which seems like a no-brainer for Dan.

I’ve done regular interviews with Boxing Social.

Indeed. Would be great to see one this week, maybe after weigh ins. Do you know the ring size for Saturday? An important point that doesn't seem to be getting much airtime.

Dan What's up. It was the 3rd opponent that pulled out vs Shvedenko. Aidos Yerbossynuly pulled out first due to covid.
