Brian Campbell and Rafe Bartholomew provide a sobering look at boxing's televised return amid the coronavirus pandemic following Tuesday's Top Rank card in Las Vegas headlined by Shakur Stevenson. The guys compare boxing's handling of things with that of UFC and Dana White. They also react to breaking news of Eddie Hearn announcing a two-fight deal with Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury for 2021 that comes with multiple hurdles that first need to be cleared. How legit is Ryan Garcia's beef with Golden Boy and DAZN over pay? All this and much more, including Rafe's lament at exiting the boxing writing game.
