Boxing Takes Place Amidst Pandemic

[Finestream]

The spectators might be able to do physical distancing, but what about the boxers also with the people in the ring that is almost impossible to do.

They just need to ensure that both fighters are not infected with covid, they sure have tested them before they let the fight happen, for the speculators, they can't test them all so their measures is just to impose social distancing.

When you say that they have a very low case of covid-19, I did a quick search and this is the information about their country.

Confirmed - 13
Deaths - 3
Recovered - 7

They truly have a low case for the virus.

And look at what their leader did.

Nicaragua's leaders promote gatherings amid COVID-19 pandemic

Covid-19 is really fast to spread in a certain place that's why the lockdown or quarantine is implemented in many countries most especially to those overcrowded or overpopulated places. People should follow what the government has implemented because it is for the safety of all citizen in the community.

That boxing event will never be the answer to this pandemic so you should stop doing that because you will just harm other people who are obeying the rules and regulations of the authority. No matter how low or big the case is, it is still risky to have an event outside the house where a lot of people will gather just to watch the boxing.

We don't know if a person is infected or not because it need to be tested for us to identify if he is positive or not. Stay in side your houses. Watch some sports like boxing in other social media or Youtube in the midst of this pandemic so that you will not get the disease.

Kids are there too. They really made this very pleasant for the public like its a tourism project.

I don't know what kids doing in there when they can just watch over live broadcast(if it is available)yet they don't have to be there because Boxing supposedly a Rated-PG to watch.

Social distancing made them look more civilized than the crowd without covid. We could get used to this kind of picture and that no stampeded in a mass gathering.

but we Knew that live audience is where the promoter mostly gather their earnings so we cannot apply this the whole time after pandemic.

13 cases so far it's very impressive, it could be the climate in the area that strand of covid is less damaging.  It's hot in there.

While the truth is this is really impressive but we must also remember that there are countries that has just starting the spread now,and we also knew how fast this can be passed to others so lets see in the next weeks if their counting will not increase.

Exactly that's the problem of this disease. Maybe for now, they have low numbers because they haven't experienced the after effect yet. If they even have one silent carrier in the crowd, still very dangerous as it can spread fast. Hope this will not be the case here. Precautions is still best to practice to avoid further human life losses.

Most countries now are in lock down, their rate are very low compared to other countries so I think they were able to contain the virus by putting those affected under quarantine, this event would not easily push through if the country is in big thread on the corona virus, they are lucky they have a very small cases.

that would be risky if they cant test all people but based on what i read on the first page they already done those stuffs however tests are not perfect because if is then why do we think that virus have entered many countries aside from china where infact they are also giving tests on airports and terminals .

 this is still risky but we cant do anymore because that is thier decision . lets just pray that all are going to be safe

There is still a risk because there is such a thing as asymptomatic, we never know if any of the boxers have this, but to be sure they should do a test ten days before the fight and two days before the fight and on the actual fight, and if things turn out to be successful we will see more coming out.

Despite low number of confirmed cases with COVID in that country, they should have made precautionary measures. AFAIK, the other countries that just go lie-low tackling the virus were the ones that didn't take it seriously from the start, and just after a few days to weeks, the cases became rampant. It was unexpected for those countries because before the cases were low and if Nicaragua will look easy on this, there is a chance for a quick spread which I hope won't happen on them.

[kotajikikox]

Lucky that their country is experiencing a little spread of Virus while in many countries dying are really indeed.

why did not this be added in online gambling so they might be enjoyed by sports bettors and there are so many now that is looking for this kind of event to Bet.

It was Given already by the poster in the first page how they managed the precautionary and safeties.

Yes, I have read about that. I guess I should've used a better term on that phrase.

In order for a certain sports event to be added in sportsbook, it needs to be popular and has a good market, not sure on the status of the market in this particular match up, and TBH, I am not really familiar with these boxers.

We just hope that it wont happen to them and this virus shouldnt really be taken so easily because even how low those numbers are we cant still be sure if it would be totally in control.

I didnt really expect for this one that would happen amidst on a pandemic situation.I do understand their main reason that their boxers do have family to eat but doesnt mean that they should held up
this kind of event.

Come to think even the biggest sports organizations do postponed up their operation due to covid reason and losing billions of revenue but still do obey on what had been mandated.

Its really hard though but its not really appropriate to held on this current situation.

Not only do they have to test 10 days but they also have to quarantine before the match to ensure that they are healthy, as well as all those involved in the match except the spectators, does sound strange and very complicated.

Bettors not only bet their money on sports betting but also because they know who has the chance to win and also enjoy the match, if it's not a famous boxer I think betting markets will be difficult to get attention from bettors.

The ratio for one possible case to spread is high if it's not taken seriously and that confirmed case won't be taken into quarantine, it can infect more than one digit of a person if contract tracing won't be determined. Well, it has been done, and let's just hope for the best to them and I know many are disappointed with it.

[royalfestus]

there is a lot of reaction over the idea of quarantine and isolation lately both from medical personnel and political analyst, statistics showing more fatality in areas of lockdown. I believe the measure was only taken at the early stage of the disease for observation of infection and spread. With pandemic situation there are other diseases killing people as well that are contagious maybe not in the extent of Corvid 19. The world has to go on and that's where we are coming from before the economic situation kills more than the virus. As we expect the approval of the vaccines lets take necessary health measures, be confident and get the economy working again.

The ones whose disappointed into this one is to those citizens who just stay up to their homes and securing out their lives for them not to get infected and for those people who do attend such event does really dont care
on that matter as long they do able to attend and watch the fight.Dont know on whats up to their minds but well whats done is done and do hope that no one is an asymptomatic one and able to spread out
the disease.

I wont be surprised if there would be next similar situations on this one where pushing out tournaments or events in spite of the current situation we are facing now.They do look like they arent alarmed
on whats happening on the world now.

[Ryker1]

Well, I am in favor of these resuming sports events like boxing as long as they take precautionary measures for the event like all the people in the event will undergo medical check first and disinfection. Thinking of the profit that everyone may gain on this does not matter because they are doing it for a reason but of course, --they should prioritize the health and spread of the virus though in Nicaragua they have a little number of infected people still that will not be enough reason for them to be more compliant on the spread of the virus. Indeed, what I am also hoping is that they will not allow live audiences instead they will just do a live telecast that may also help lessen the boredom of everyone.

[DarkDays]

Well if Nicaragua hasn't reached the same levels as other people, then I can understand why they're reluctant to slow down their economy.

Realistically, unless a significant chunk of the citizenry stop going about business as usual, it is unlikely to curb the spread of the virus. Might as well act as usual until the government enforces movement control policies.

As much as I love boxing, I hope other countries don't follow suit any time soon 

[semobo]

So boxing promoters from Nicaragua still proceed with their boxing match despite the pandemic, they have taken all the precautions  
Fighters are sprayed with disinfectant, ring girls don face masks and socially-distanced fans.

The promoters dismissed the coronavirus  and insist that boxers need to eat and feed his family

They have held this event because the number of infected is not very high in their country.

What do you think about this, do you think that some sporting events have a good chance of resuming?

Probably they won't allow much spectators to watch the game and boxing is an indoor game so there is no big issue of handling that game when it comes to tournament like events but the games were people are gathered in hundreds of thousands will be an issue and it should be banned until the vaccine found.

No they wont for sure because we know that not all countries does have the same low number counts of positive or infected people but as a safety precaution it wont really be that safe to held events just like on what stomachgrowls said above that this isnt the right time on pushing up things that shouldnt really be done.Anything would be over and would come back to normal if the vaccine would be available but this one is still on
progress.It isnt really a simple situation when it comes to economic matters of particular places or countries but this is the best thing to be done for now.
