99.9% lock my ass. I'd never bet on this high profile of a boxing event with the people currently involved.
Zuffa Boxing offices is where this deal was brokered, not the UFC offices. That's already getting too close to mafia involvement for me. Yeah I know the sons are "clean" according to the Gaming Commission but the Fertittas come from a very well-known and very well-established crime family with deep roots. They don't come from foot-soldiers or drivers or enforcers, they come from leadership.
Without knowing more about who the principles are of McGregor Promotions, the role of the Fertittas and Zuffa Boxing (silent partners?) and the UFC itself-- I'm all fucking set.
I don't touch shit like that in this sport. I just don't like what I'm seeing as far as silent partners, Dana's refusal to answer questions on the details of the deal, the Fertittas role, why the deal was brokered in the Zuffa offices and not at UFC offices. Why Lorenzo Fertitta was the one hosting the meeting has not been answered yet. Not that I would particularly care even if I was given the contract itself, as I have a No Mafiosi Allowed policy on sports betting. Any association at all and I'm out.
Next-level shady-- anyone calling it a 99% lock is a moron.
