But I repeat, you take away their names and there is nothing left, but a freak show.
    Old man vs Novice man. Got some joy from Mayweather's face-talking.
    I saw one good uppercut from Connor yet it was good technically wise only, almost no power in it. Mayweather was way better (yet way older than I expected) but I still was sure in his victory since round 2.
    First off, why would i hold this to the same standard as a regular fight? Obviously I didn't expect the same thing as I would if this was Floyd in with a world ranked ww like Thurman or Spence.

    You can call it what you wish. The reality is Floyd and Conor created this through the force of their personalities. Both are polarizing and transcend their individual sports so they came together to make an event. Instead of complaining about it, I would study how they built themselves and take from it to help me as an individual build my "brand" or "profile" within my sport.

    Usually in boxing, the faded vet ends his career by fighting a young lion, giving them a chance to enhance his profile and furthering the sport. Floyd instead used his celebrity to make this event to make enough money so he, as a promoter, can develop the next star.

    Maybe we as boxing fans should take a second to think about this business model.

      Do you understand that sports are a form of entertainment?
      Boxing is like WWE. Ok.

        Floyd was legitimately laughing and giggling mid exchanges when he fought McGregor.. He acted like Pacquiao Ebola virus on him. He didn't seem too keen to letting Marquez, Alvarez or Cotto hitting him.. Wonder why.
