you just repeated the same conversation that was on ESPN when i was working out, they're just regurgitating what newscasters are flinging about.Promoters sure know how to do their job.
I overheard a conversation about the fight today between two guys. Both followed neither boxing nor MMA and were talking about how McGregor is younger and has a longer reach and how Mayweather is old, was certainly very very good, but is probably not as good now... one of the guy thought McGregor would win and the other wondered if he would be able to not kick Mayweather (see above) and be sent to jail for assault. They also thought all the trash talking was a bit lame, and that the whole show around the fight was a bit over the top.... I did not butt in, but, guess what guys, it's because promoters are good that this event that, from a sport point of view is retarded, gets talked about by you and me, people who don't give much of a damn about the sport and that is that reach that will generate a silly amount of pay per view and a silly volume of bets. And you know what bookmakers like? People who bet on things they know nothing about.
It's a bit like poker and how it's in the benefit of good poker players to have as much bad players as possible entering the pool.
