It is official, the circus show known as Mayweather Vs. Mcgregor will take place August 26 in Las Vegas. This is a shame in my opinion. As a avid boxing fan, I am very disappointed that this is going to happen. UFC fans are happy that they get to see the most beloved UFC fighters of this era fight go up against one of the greatest pound for pond in boxing history.
This is sad, very sad. This is going to be another rotten egg taste in our mouths like Pacman and Mayweather. I am afraid that this will ruin boxing forever and this fight has this potential to do so. The only reason this fight is being made is because the money that is at stake. They say it can surpass the Pacman fight, and I think it might. With both UFC and boxing fans potentially watching the fight, the pockets of both sport fans will be touched.
The reason to boycott this fight is simple, I am 80% certain that the PPV will cost $100, if not more. That move alone would make me angry. The reason that a UFC fighter who has never been in a boxing ring with an opponent such as Mayweather is just a mismatch of epic proportions. Mcgregor (21-3) has blemishes in the sport that he specializes in. Mayweather (49-0) is a master at his trade. This is another reason this fight is a joke from the start.
There are many UFC fans that are saying that Mcgregor will beat Mayweather, sorry, it won't happen. Mayweather has went up against some of boxing best, Miguel Cotto, Oscar De La Hoya, Canelo Álvarez, Juan Manuel Márquez, Arturo Gatti, and most notably Manny Pacquiao. This alone says it all.
Don't get in the hype, because at the end, you WILL be disappointed. This might kill both sports and will only be a mockery in sports history.
