Some Thoughts On the Upcoming Mayweather – McGregor Match

The Mayweather – McGregor match is just around the corner, and even this early, the battle has already begun. Floyd Mayweather and Connor McGregor started off the war on social media where it brewed in the first place. Eventually, they found themselves in one venue in front of the camera, and the antics came in from all directions, as expected.

Here are some thoughts on this fight that seems to divide a nation of sports lovers.

1. There’s a lot more flair in the trash talking that happened in the pre-fight than what is actually going to happen in the ring.
2. Mayweather is not ensured of glory, even if he wins. This is because McGregor is not a career boxer. People will always see this as an excuse, in the event that McGregor loses.
3. The match is obviously a money-making scheme. That said, it seems to be working perfectly.
4. Clearly, McGregor is winning the media battle. He’s the one who is marketing the event almost effortlessly with his gift for spontaneous piercing words.
5. Mayweather doesn’t know how to respond with class. Most people don’t love him that much anyway.
6. The only way that this fight is going to be a success is if McGregor wins over Mayweather because such a victory will be a triumph against odds.
7. Mayweather will likely win the bout.
