Conor Mcgregor just took away possibly up to $100 million dollars for getting into the rink tonight with arguable the greatest boxer of all time, and getting dropped in 10 rounds.
It started competitive, but Money Mayweather did what he's done his whole career, be patient, consistent, and seal the deal.
The question is, how did this fight get sold where its looking to gross between 300-700 million dollars? Boxing doesn't even have a league. Whats all the hype? And how did this happen?
McGregor was able to build an image (even after losing in MMA) and captivate peoples imaginations by selling himself. The image he sold is the ultimate macho, don't give a rip about you, bad boy persona you could create. And he was excellent at it. He can now fade into oblivion as another of Mayweathers dropped opponents. But does he really care? 100 million dollars later?
I should teach my kid to trash talk...
