This one baffles me why anyone, outside of drunken Irishmen, would pay 100 bucks to see this farce. It's such an obvious cash grab, and they're not even trying to hide it. What's interesting about seeing it? I don't see the appeal, even from a "freak show" aspect, it's a bunch of nothing. The build has been a joke, homophobic and racial slurs hurled around, that makes millions of people want to shell out 100 bucks to get duped by these guys?? McGregor is very interesting though, it's like he knows people are idiots, and freely exploits it. He also supports my theory that "rules" only apply to those not seen as having value. If you're someone who is seen as a cash cow, no rules apply to you, and he exploits that to the max too, which exposes just how full of bullshit commissions and companies are. I mean how did this even get approved to happen? Then they lower the glove weights as an "experiment"?? For this fight?? McGregor does have legit talent as an MMA fighter, but his real talent is that of a bullshit artist who sees thru the bullshit of the bigwigs and shoves it up their asses.
