I had no problem with it because both men were clearly just grappling for cash. The fight was H U G E for McGregor because he is currently negotiating a fight with UFC so this PPV got him crazy leverage in those negotiations.
And Floyd already beat everyone relevant at the time. Canelo, Manny, Cotto...nobody worth fighting was available. Gennady wouldn't budge 1lb for Kell Brook so why would Floyd even look his way? Gennady had no market behind him, evident by 97K against Lemeiux, and remains a B-side fighter after Brook and Canelo carried him to respectable PPV numbers.
Nonetheless I stand by my earlier statements
