It makes me annoyed that the two of them will make so much money. It makes me annoyed that so much focus will go towards this. MMA and boxing are two terrific sports in their own right. Sure , trash talk and entertainment value have long been a part of all sports, and combat sports in particular. But nothing like this has ever happened. Two very rich men have decided to come together and make themselves even richer. Plenty of other people have also decided to make money off this. they have decided that people are gullible and they want to take advantage. I would generally be a very upbeat person but the fact that this is happening makes me a little bit sad.

Morrison J wrote: » Both are even comparable to McGregor imo. McGregor v Diaz did 1.6 million buys in the bigger US market. I think Canelo v GGG should top that. Joshua v Klitschko did 1.5 million buys in the UK alone. Amazing number when you think of the size of that market.

Maybe go into movies or something. He's gonna make so much money and have much less risk of being badly hurt than he would in the octagon. As many have mentioned, the build up will be far better than the "fight".
