OT: Mcgregor VS Mayweather

[clydepepper]

Leon- shouldn't this be on the watercooler?

If its so obvious that a certain guy will win...why does a fight make so much money..

I felt the same way when Floyd fought Pacman. Did anyone really think Floyd was going to lose?

Novelty, Showmanship, it will be a carnival.

It's entertainment I guess. Same reason people buy movie tickets and pro wrestling PPV's. People want to see what happens, even if it's pre-ordained.

If anything, the press conferences will be highly entertaining at least.

Boxers have gone into MMA and MMA guys have ventured into boxing before..........but this is the first time two top guys at the height of their powers (though not so much for Mayweather anymore), in these two different combat sports, will step in the ring with each other, and people are curious to see it.

Myself, I don't see the point, but it is, what it is. Might be more interesting if Mayweather were fighting Conor MMA style, but likely that would be just as big of a whitewash in the other direction.
