I sort of want Mayweather to win just to preserve what little integrity there is left in the sport, but then by taking the fight and the money Mayweather has done his own bit to create the circus.
Muhammad Ali took the fight against Antonio Inoki in1976. Inoki was a well known and well loved Japanese wrestler. It was a curious affair and billed as the fight of the 20th century. It turned into a farce. Lots of the crowd wanted their money back from the word 'go'. Shall we see the same with McGregor and Mayweather?
I am a huge boxing fan but it never even entered my mind to pay to watch this so called bout.
Pantomime is the word i was using when anyone asked my opinion of the thing.
In my opinion Mayweather used McGregor and his popularity with the younger generation to sell pay per view subscriptions.
He is a very clever man out of the ring just as he his inside it.
Mayweather recieved £200 million,McGregor £75 million
There is life after football. I too watch a lot of other sports including boxing. Muhammad Ali took the fight against Antonio Inoki in1976. That too was a pantomime. Whoever said that sport is straightforward?
