It really is mind boggling. People at my job have been talking about it like it's Ali/Frazier. Or Joe Louis/Max Schmeling. It's amazing, really. I mean there's a guy in the main event who has a career record of 0-1 and his one loss is to another YouTuber. Is this even real life?
It's like my friends who will bash boxing and say that it's trash, yet they bought an exhibition between two guys in their mid-50's. They also loved it and said it was an "unbelievable night". Yet they don't even know or care who Terrence Crawford (for example) is. You couldn't pay some people to sit down and watch a real fight with legitimate, blue chip talent in the ring but they'll shell out 50 bucks to watch a retired (albeit great) 44 year old who is fighting a YouTuber. And jeezus, even Floyd himself compared this to a bank robbery

Dude straight up tells buyers that he's heisting them and they still buy it anyway

Gotta love this country.
